Ann I'm glad you enjoyed Jane Mc Donald.She is quite a character I think.She isn't really my cup of tea though.I remember seeing her on that programme when she was working on the Cruise Ship.
What a dreary old day it is.Fitz has just been up to get some pictures of the Owl that I printed off for him to show his Mum.He has now gone to get logs in for his fire.

The time now is 13 51.

Been sorting a few bits and pieces out and cleaning the barometer (sp) and the hall bim bam clock. You should have seen what came of both!!!!!!!! ginger brown muck from all the ears of smoking!! Don't think they had had a good clean in 22 years. Spick and span now except I have'nt cleaned the weights on the clock with brasso.

Hi All
Been busy today, went to do some food shopping that OH forgot last night ,I hadn't put it on the list DAUGHTER NO1 BIRTHDAY CAKE (.my fault really)
She'll be 30 on Tuesday but we will be all together tomorrow so we will celebrate then, as we won't all be together on Tuesday.

Then went to see dad this morning at 10.00am, with OH and took him out for a run in the car around the country lanes, saw the cows, sheep & horses, dad just sat in the front seat, nodding off sometimes.
He was calm, wether it was the medication he is on or just a good time of the day no one knows?
we went passed his old house and my house and there was no recolection at all.
It was too cold to get out of the car and walk,

This afternoon had a ride out to the big Dob**es Garden Centre at Sterling, it's looking really lovely all done up for christmas, bought a few Red T lights and a centre peice for my dinning room table, also some fancy sweets as presents for christmas

18.42pm.

Was going to do a lamb stew but got into something else and it was too late by the time I thought about it again!!

Having fillet steak instead and a nice bottle of Hardys Crest red.

Jane

Jane Report 20 Nov 2010 18:58

Is that the Harvey's Crest that's on special offer?
I don't like Lamb Stew.I like lamb but just not in a stew.We have Lamb Leg Steaks tomorrow.I saw something yesterday ,and it was to mix a little red wine,mixed herbs and garlic and put over the Lamb before cooking.Sounds tasty I think.My Risotto is cooking now and will be ready in about 20 mins.I'm flipping starving,so hope it turns out alright .

Oops sorry .forgot to say it is now 19 . 00 hr

You are never BORING Frank.
Hannah said she got caught up in a load of football fans in London earlier today.Found it a bit scary as they were doing the chanting thing ,and the opposition were on the other side of the road.She legged it quick back to the flat she is staying in and said she would wait until the Match started before she went out again lol
It is very strange here with just Him and Me !!.....But quite nice really.

Afternoon all, Cold and damp here,

Jane I bet it's you that is slow,
I FOUND THE REMOTE THAKS SHIRL !!!!

Have done all the veg, and got meat ready for oven. Have got a saucepan of peelings on for the chickens, mixed with layers (NO THEY DON'T) mash. they will enjoy that
.Have seen no sign of fish in the pond, will have to turn the pump off, just wasting electricity. I don't know if I will clean it all out and start again, or just fill it in. See what the spring brings.

David, It must be heart breaking to loose that sort of money. Our parents allways told us. INVEST IN PROPERTY
