So early as well.
So pleased the hard work is coming off.
Then watered the garden, then for a walk.

Bet those strawberries taste divine, had supermarket ones yesterday and to say they lacked taste is an understatement !

Missed it actually but heard that it showed a snail going straight over a copper ribbon without noticing it was there!Better get out and deal with the beer traps quickly, Louise has polished off half the beer!!

Thanks Amanda, not sure if I was going to be quite that polite though!11.45am and just back from a walk where we bought 1 doz extra large free range eggs from the little guy up the road where we pay into an honesty box nailed to the gate post - £3.50.
We also got 2 bunches of Cornish asparagus (£1.75 each), so will be having a lovely dippy egg breakfast tomorrow with steamed asparagus! Then asparagus soup for breakfast on Saturday.
I know you meant Amber, L.A. I'm one of those people who can't eat asparagus w/o unfortunate aromatic consequences in the water closet, to put it mildly.
Listening to Orcrist (The Hobbit) – MAN AT ARMS: REFORGED om YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhKUy... while wading through emails and trying to catch up on GR.
Sorry Amber. Shame about you and asparagus although I do know what you mean on the aromatic consequences front! 12.59 pm and about to pan fry fresh cod fillets for lunch.
Sorry a little quite lately.
Wife in hospital for four days, now at home.
And getting better, on antibiotics and pain killers with an inflamed lower stomach problems.
And as always busy in garden, and watching playing tennis with the better weather, and at the moment looking after the wife!
