Maybe Diana as a middle name?

I imagine they will give her several names - we will see:)

What a cute story. Dogs are just so smart!
Love the story about Bob and George Brenda.

Here's a new colouring book for all those Audiophiles who like to colour in while they listen to a good book, or anytime ;))

The Mindfulness Colouring Book: Anti-Stress Art Therapy for Busy People by Emma Farrarons

It's a shame you can't turn some of the pages for a sneek peek inside.

I just saw you'd added this one to your TBR Jools:) I started mine the other day - boy it's time consuming and hard on the eyes;) It'll last me at least until I'm 150 years old, but I love it!

I haven't been here much the past day or so and just saw this.. Eerie.. I walked past my shelf an hour or so ago, glimpsed Tigerlily's Orchids, and thought to myself 'I should read that'..

Maybe it's not that cold yet, but all this miserable rain made me do this: the bacon bones are slowly simmering in the slow cooker. The peas are soaking in water in a big bowl. Yes, it's Pea with Ham Soup time!

Soup on rainy days when it's slightly cool is always comforting - enjoy, Marianne! And congratulations on your wedding anniversary - I didn't get around to commenting at the time!

And congratulations on yours as well, Phrynne - did you say yours was today?

I agree, Kiera - love the history of the royal families. Did you see there was a program on last night (part 1 of 3) on SBS about some of England's early queens? I was thinking about watching it, but then got caught up in my book!

Yum! I made some last week Marianne and shared some with my elderly neighbour, it was a big hit here and there! ;)
When we had all that recent rainy weather I made some Borscht and that was a hit too :p

How's your DH going Marianne, all good I hope?

It's coming along nicely. Having simmered the bones in the slow cooker for some hours, I have just completed the worst part of the preparation: separating meat from bones, fat, gristle etc. Now the pot liquor is in the fridge cooling so I can skim off a bit of fat for frying the onions. then I will put the rest of the liquor (minus the remaining fat) and the peas in the slow cooker until the peas are done, put it all through my super-duper blender and add the meat. That will be a few meals for us and a few lunches for Mum.

He's OK. I asked him just now, he said alive but tired. Off to the doc this arvo for a script.
I am very proud of our hospital, though. He was in, cardioverted and out again in under 3 & a half hours.

Tell him we are all thinking of him and wishing him well, home cooked pea soup will fix him up for sure!

[Marianne]

Thanks Julie, he agrees it should do the trick!

To tell the truth we had a perfectly normal day! Having just completed the perfect holiday we felt that was our just reward:) Also went out to dinner last night.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Is anyone else watching Poldark on the ABC on Sunday nights? They have chosen the perfect actors for Ross and Demelza and the Cornish scenery is beautiful.
