I only know Canadian ones."


H. Samuel is probably the longest established and most reputable one in Cardiff.

Yeah, I don't do diamonds. I'm looking for a nice emerald.

Birks is another good Canadian one.

I hope you're sorted soon, Desley. This has been going on for weeks.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Good morning!

They didnt have loose carrots in the shop so I had to buy a big bag full. Think I'll have to make carrot and ginger soup today or I'll have to bin them.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Oh yummy I love carrot and ginger soup!


message 107: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Come and peel the carrots and you can have half the pot.

Alicia Ehrhardt (aliciabutcherehrhardt) | 4834 comments Catching up on comments and eating cheese melted onto flax bread with real bacon sprinkled on top - only way to go, and the flax makes it all lo-carb. So virtuous.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Stop it. I've not eaten yet.

Been shopping, got the soup simmering and a pot of apple filling for tarts on the go. Waiting for margarine to soften for coconut/chocolate cookies. About time I used up the coconut that's been in the cupboard for yonks.

Me too - it's been going on since August!


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12592 comments Morning all, hoping for a quiet day, last day in this week, then chemist after work.

I prefer carrot and coriander Patti ;)


message 112: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I thought about doing carrot and coriander but I've got ginger to use up. Would have had to buy coriander.

Changed my mind about baking the cookies. Will just do the tarts. Cookies next week.


message 113: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Morning! Love carrot, apple and celery soup. Yes, I'm weird. Hate coconut. Got a cooking day. Apple cake and truffle filled chocolates. Oh, and something more sensible for tea.


message 114: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments No celery here. Well, sometimes but it costs so much we may as well go out for a full steak dinner.

I put some apple juice from cooking the apples in the soup. I find it brings out the sweetness in the carrots. Also, some white beans for body.

Really looking forward to working the next two days. I'll be teaching EAL. My most favourite thing!

Tim | 8539 comments I nearly got some bacon & cheese stuffed potato crusts from the reduced counter the other day, until I read the ingredients list and saw "reconstituted bacon".

WTF???

Benjamin Appleby-Dean (benjaminappleby-dean) Morning all! The new puppy is currently getting us up at 6am, which could be better - I think he's still confused by the hour change last Sunday

It takes dogs a week or two to adjust. Ours still expect me to be getting up at the old time.

I've found that dogs take a lot longer to adjust than cattle

Analogue cheese also to be avoided.

Morning everyone.

Cat's aren't good at it either, although mine has been good since Sun. I do wake up most mornings to the sound of the foster kitten playing, must take the jingly toys out at night!!

Our cats have adjusted quicker, though they're more (alas) liable to wake us with the sound of hairballing


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I immediately started singing 'Hairballing' to the tune of 'Freefalling' !

How is everybody?


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Well I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not bad.


T4bsF (Call me Flo) (time4bedsaidflorence) Evening all. My gorgeous little bat-girl......




Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Ooooh! How cute :) :)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments She's not going to scare anyone with a face like that. Back to the drawing board, Flo :-P


message 133: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments She's precious, Flo.

Good morning!

T'was raining when I woke. Seems to have stopped now. Meant to be cooler today. Might need a light jacket.


message 134: by Happily (new)

Happily (happilyeverchapter) | 2 comments Morning All!

My first official "Good Morning" post as I've only today discovered that November marks my 5th Goodreads-a-versary!

Hope everyone is well :)


Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12592 comments Morning all, we have blue skies. Vet visit at 9, then me and 3 neighbours are going to Slatterys,then catsitting.

How adorable Flo, my favourite colour as well.


message 136: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Morning, each. Dashing off soon to the cake club. I've made an apple and pecan cake. It's a tray bake. I fee like Mary Berry when I say that! Catch you all later.


message 137: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth White | 1761 comments Morning everyone.

Blue sky here too (falls over in amazement). The leaves are disappearing from the trees at the back so I s'pose we'll soon be able to see the rest of the housing estate down in the vale. Illusion of splendid isolation gone!

Lovely piccy, Flo. No trick or treat calls here - I think most of the kids are too grown up now - so we're happily chewing our way through the emergency caramels and chocolate eclairs.

I like the sound of that tray bake, Kath.


message 138: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments Morning all. Hope everyone is fit and well. I'm up to my neck in Mailchimp. There ought to be a law against it. If I were a Cabinet Member I'd probably have to resign.

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Hi Ams!

We expect you make a habit of it now, you know!

Bloody perishing here today. I was on playground duty this morning and damn near froze my tits off. Wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the howling wind. Lost count of how many kids I had to send back inside to put a coat on.
One wee munchkin was standing next to a wall in a sleeveless top with blue lips! I had a word with her teacher. Poor thing.

Ominous black clouds coming in over the Caspian now. It's cold enough to snow, I bet.

Supposed to go back up into the 20s in a couple days though, so mustn't bitch too much.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments So there were two lumps of frozen Patti-tit rolling around the playground!!

Bob Dylan wrote a song about your boobs?


message 143: by Patti (baconater) (new)

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Probably.


message 144: by T4bsF (Call me Flo) (last edited Nov 02, 2017 08:47AM) (new)

T4bsF (Call me Flo) (time4bedsaidflorence) Afternoon all. Well the day started off very promisingly and was sunny - but, sadly, it's deteriorated as the day's gone on.
Bob also sang a song called "It's all over now Booby Blue" - was that about your cold lallas Patti?

Thanks for the lovely comments about my lovely Bat-girl all.

(sorry - that should be "Baby" blue)


message 145: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Been a beautiful day all day here :-)


message 146: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 11324 comments Been on a course all day. Not sure how, or if, anyone stayed awake - probably won't be able to sleep tonight, and not because my brain will be avidly examining consequences of changes to Top Slicing Relief, or new anti avoidance provisions on Overseas Insurance Policy gains either

Manfred Mann's Earth Band did an excellent cover of that song.

Karen Lowe | 1338 comments I remember seeing Manfred Mann Chapter Three when I was at uni, rather a long time ago... still got their LP somewhere


message 149: by Benjamin (new)

Benjamin Appleby-Dean (benjaminappleby-dean) Today has taken a distinct turn for the cold. Not that the new puppy seems to care - he's too busy trying to eat the leaves.

Desley (Cat fosterer) (booktigger) | 12592 comments Well, a relaxed vet visit, even got a cup of tea, which is a first. Had a lovely afternoon, the two neighbours we took don't go many places so loved it, and we called in Aldi on the way home, was shocking how much more they have to pay locally. Bought my first mince pie of the year, some christmas presents and some honey liquorice. I also had a little cake left, my little * of a cat took it out of my handbag and nibbled it! Clearly tried to get back to normal too quickly, eye was fine till driving back from the vets, although reading was tricky.
