Not today....tonight.
Took grandsons (who is away at uni) younger brother out for a meal. We had a laugh. He is 16, at that age!! but we had such a lovely time even though he only ate garlic bread and drank cokes.

I went to the hairdressers and received a really nice head massage, my daughter made me howl with laughter and I made a cracking slag Bol (x2 one with meat and one without)

How do you make spag bol without meat?

This morning has been agony awaiting postman.

He came about 30 minutes ago and another one of our little bratz has passed the entrance exam to go to Warwick School.
We are over the moon as the school has a fabbo reputation.

2 down 1 to go.

We told him if he passes we will give him a bonus, I bet he has not forgotten that.

Quorn mince and lentils.

I make all spag Bol, meat or otherwise with grated carrot, celery, peppers, onion, mushrooms, loads of herbs, garlic, a dash of ketchup, and for the meat version, pancetta.

Well done to him Stormee. It's a big step getting into the school of choice, especially if it's a good school and places are short.

OH visits his mum on Saturdays so I do all the housework.

It's a satisfying feeling when all the jobs you meant to do during the week get done.
Not exciting.....but necessary.

I finished all my ironing today cheers

Hate that job and always put it off.

Satisfying but boring

Ps I did leave a pair of shorts in there and an old white t shirt that is so creased it's beyond ironing

Thank you Syl, we are overjoyed, we did have a private tutor for the last 6 months for this one, next year we want to get the last one into Warwick.
It is not just a case of passing the exam, you have to go before the headmaster or a senior teacher to be assessed and convince them you are right for their school, not just about having the funds either.

Walking the dog, encountered four trailers full of cattle parked (ironically enough) behind a popular hamburger joint ... they're here to be shown in the stock show, not to go on buns (at least not quite yet). It was funny to watch my dog's fascination with the cattle ...

Dogs, like bears, live by their noses. Imagine the detail, not to mention the beauty your dog was experiencing around four trailers of beef. Lol...it would be as if we took in a show of impressionist art or a museum of Asian artifacts. Such fun...

You can ask Jane, I can top that. I had a day about a month ago where my car broke down twice, the second time on a packed freeway, after I'd paid $700 to get it fixed. I forgot my debit card at the shop and the guy wouldn't meet me there long enough to open the damn door ... then I locked my keys in the car and had to pay over $100 to get someone to come out (took over an hour) to let me back in -- and I had to convince him to accept a check.

I would write a country song about it, but I didn't find out my girlfriend was cheating on me, I didn't go to jail, I didn't get drunk or fall off the barstool, and my mama didn't die, so it wouldn't really work Smile

It was friendly. He was giving me advice as a newby, a couple of decades ago.

It's true. Some lawyers can't stop talking and end up arguing or admitting something adverse to their case. You've just got to figure out what to leave alone.

I think you could eat in a different place every day for months before you had to eat in the same place twice. There are so many pretty places to eat and drink there.

Happy to read that Ben's getting back into the REM sleep pattern; obtaining good sleep habits are harder then learning those really bad ones.

Indeed...and I raised my Brown Egg Price up .50¢ last year to $2.00 a/doz and lost a couple of customers; but they soon started calling - when their eggs were costing them $3.75 a/doz at the local grocery store. If the price of my chicken feed keeps going up {due to drought conditions} I'll be adjusting my price yet again --- it's gotta help pay for my hens up keep or into the frying pan they'll start going -

Woke at 1.43 am wide awake! Lay in bed, brain working overtime and pain in back and stomach.

Pissed off, got up at 3.30, let cats out, made cup of tea and sat down with laptop, switch on and look at NEWSFIX.
