Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I agree. That could start up a whole load of problems. I am too much like you, I forget to water plants to. I bought hanging baskets last year and left them to die - whoops

I always managed to arrive within the nick of time with the hosepipe to revive them, my window boxes that is I haven't bothered with hanging baskets here though I will next year at the new house. Alain will remeber to water them if I don't!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I was hoping the rain would do it for me - lol

Yeah but surprisingly enough it misses most of the baskets because the eaves of the house act like an umbrella!

An easy mistake to make. Getting of the subject completely I just sanded my feet down and creamed up, one heel is completely normal now the other needs doing really every couple of days.

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) ah the joy of flip flops!

Yep they make a mess of your feet during the summer that takes you all winter to put right just in time to put them back into flip flops!

It really was a good buy the pedicure sander its the first time in years one foot has been crack free. My mum had the same problem my dad used to have her walking in seaweed when we were on holiday. He said the seaweed coupled with the salt water would heal the cracks. Never did though!

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Morning

Chapter 8 is slow going. I am spinning all over the place trying to make it scary and mysterious at the same time.

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I now the wait will be worth it. Heard anymore from lilo since last night?

Yeah reckoned she was going to say a prayer for my American friend. She should say one for herself while she's about it! She'll need more than a wing and a prayer to snare another poor unsuspecting Frenchman around here! They all have her measure!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Clearly given herself a reputation - not a good sign.

Nope she has a reputation of being up for it! Someone even rang the trou de cul and told him she'd had someone else in his house while he was at work!


message 1314: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Maybe she should be called "Flora" - LOL


message 1315: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Sharon wrote: "Maybe she should be called "Flora" - LOL"

Why Flora? Sorry I'm not getting that one - the only flora I can think of is margarine - could it be she's spreading herself about? LOL


message 1316: by Sharon (new)

It's on its way now, the bank is now shut until tomorrow. Shame! I got an idea I didn't want to let slip away!

message 1329: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Sharon wrote: "Or under the patio - LOL"

We haven't got one of those here either! We usually threaten kids who misbehave of spending a night in the barn with the chickens!

Well yes, if you like smelly chickens but your tent would at least be in the dry! LOL Its huge too about 20 metres by 12 make a great venue for a hoe down! Complete with straw

Funnily enough neither have I and with all these huge empty barns just crying out for it! We have swallows nesting in the summer. They pinch the chickens grain and take a bath in their water bowls and s**t all over everywhere!

charlene now thinks her neighbour is loop the loop! and that Annie must have been the old lady who died in the nursing home! And that is all I'm going to tell you, you will have to wait until I have finished the chapter now!


message 1334: by Sharon (new)

I'm working on chapter 8 or at least I was until Alain threw a wobbly and ordered us outside into the garage, to help him tidy it up! It's cold wet and windy and the last place I wanted to be on a Saturday afternoon was in a draughty dusty garage!

But hold on a minute where was he the last few times when I swept it up and cleaned it out because he'd invited people round for a barbecue. And I even had to start the barbecue because his guests arrived and
he was nowhere to be seen!

Men! Life would be so much simpler without them!


message 1336: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Hi hun

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Sharon wrote: "Yes just finished it. Loved it."

You're going to hate me I changed some bits, and added some where necessary. The offending arsehole just came back with a box of painkillers, it wasn't the medecine I really need but its a start. Still no apology, though he is creeping he knows he's in the wrong but not man enough to admit it!


message 1343: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) No man ever is, I'm afraid.

LOL - I should have known and I should have waited to read it ;o)

Like Jo says about hers 'he should grow a set' and act like a man!

Sorry, blame it on the arsehole! I'm going to get a shower and fetch the medicine I actually need and I'll talk to you later. Thanks for listening!


message 1345: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) You are welcome.

Sorry I should have asked how your weekend was too! LOL What kind of a friend am I!!!


message 1347: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) No that's fine honestly, but it was nice. We had our first BBQ of the year yesterday as it was just me and Monst, and of course it was the first Grand Prix race of the season. Me and Fiona at work have a little bet going and I won the first £1 ;o)

Oh bum I forgot it was the Australian Grand Prix yesterday! Don't tell me you're a fan too? How uncanny is that, I saw Nigel Mansell win the British grand prix at Silverstone the year he was the World Champion. He stopped right in front of where we were to pick up the late Ayrton Senna who was thumbing a lift, I have the man who's shoe got torn up on Video or rather the ex does he kept custody of the film but I kept the programs and the hat!

I'm off to the chemist shan't be long it's only just down the road!


message 1349: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Yes I am a fan. I am cheering for Jenson Button of McClaren and Fiona is cheering for Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull. Jenson won - YAY.

OK speak to you when you get back.

I'm back yep I'll be cheering for Jensen Button too, though there are a couple of new French guys too they might be worth a look!

Suns out here today which is good as I have all Sophie's washing from last week to do. I pegged the first load out this morning at 8.00 when Sophie left for school and then fed the chickens who have started laying again. Now I'm starting to get buried under the mountain of eggs! looks like quiche is back on the menu!

My favourite is the savoyard meat feast my own recipe -sliced smoked sausage, smoked lardons, ham, onions, new potatoes cooked and sliced and sliced mozerella and gruyere, egss 6 large and a 500g tub of full fat creme fraiche and ready rolled flaky pastry makes 2 large quiches!

I usually end up making 8 for the palets I did tell Alain not to volunteer me this year. Will he listen? I doubt it!
