Evening all we had SUN today!! Frost in the morning, but hey ho!

Got to go to big town in the morning to collect some tractor parts, so will fit in a trip to Aldi. Very excited as a new TK Maxx has opened, never been in one before. I might explode

we had haze!!! but it was nice and warm
hope you enjoy tkmaxx (is it named after you?)
countess d out *drops mic*

Now TKMaxx can be heaven or hell. Sometimes there are triffic bargains and very different things on offer, other times it looks like an expensive jumble sale. I hope you are lucky tk!!

We've had two days of simply glorious weather here and a few more set to come before the rain returns....I am orf to Hertfordshire for a couple of days, and should be returning on Monday.... seeing old work chums tonight and then seeing Talon [Eagles cover band we have seen many times] on Sunday with my usual gallivanting friend, then meeting another friend from when I lived in London on Monday before the return. I dearly love a gallivant

Hi p, we're back to cold and rain again here. Far as I know TK Maxx has nothing to do with me! Had a good old mooch round, didn't see anything I fancied, and it seemed far too expensive. Ah well, got a nice stew simmering in the slow cooker so all is not lost.

At least you know you haven't missed anything
chilly here too daaaaan saaaaf they've been getting temperatures soaring to 25 degrees Celsius.

mmmm stew yummy....*leaves salad for chins*

Flipping pouring down here, but the swallows are having a wonderful time.

Lovely stew and a big dish of creamy mash in the safe

*gets stew and mash and moves into new home on mattress in Giles's shed*

Tee hee

Expensive jumble sale today twass, but it was nice to have a mooch. Then went next door to Aldi and had a proper shop!

Have a good old gallivant, I like the Eagles so a bit jellus.

Boaty McPlane arriving in Enniscrone, very exciting.

Oh big pile of creamy mash sounds lovely. Its ages since I last had mash. Might make cheesy mash tomorrow.

TK Maxx ALWAYS looks like an expensive jumble sale to me. I know there are bargains to be had but I just don't have that sort of patience. I get fed up after one rail.

OOOOOooooo are you? did you have you? *holds bowl out*

I'm the same with tkmaxx it's just too exhausting wading through stuff (i hate shopping though unless it's shoes or books)

the sun is shining i hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather

Cheesy mash, using up several odd ends of cheese coming up. I plan to put finely sliced spring onions in too.

Glass of Spanish red while you wait anyone. Nothing fancy but fruity and drinkable.

*clinks glass* cheers An sounds delicious, wine and cheese (y mash) party how sophisticated of us

Evening all! Will be setting off soon for an evening of Eagles music

Glorious weather! Hope that wasn't summer .........

happy music-ing Twass! An's getting me drunk while i watch Matt Damon.....

Just mashing the spuds now. I have sauted some shredded savoy cabbage with cumin and sliced leeks and cranberries to go with it. Important to serve some greens I think.

sounds nice, more wine An?

the sun has been lovely today

It has but it seems to have warped my back door. I am now waiting for it to cool so I can shut it, with my fingers crossed that I can.

Blimey how hot has it been where you are???

i love having the back door open all day it feels like summer (as Twass said this might be IT last year we had one day's sun in May and that was it!) this wine is strong ....*misses submit post button couple of times*

Not that hot but my back door faces the afternoon sun. Its a long story but in essence the whole door and window configuration had to be removed last year in order to get under the sill beneath. That was last November so I don't know if it is the heat that has warmed the plastic or if it is to do with this being the first weekend I have regularly been opening and closing the door since it went back in tha casing

The sun was shining here today, after the monsoon yesterday.

I'm with you on shopping, feckin hate it , that's why I love Penneys for socks/knickers/vests, add scarves, and the odd handbag. Flea markets
and charity shops for rummaging.

More sun more sun i've been having my coffee in the garden (slathered in sun cream!!) my cornflower seeds i sowed are starting to peak through and there are tiny buds on some poppies it's so exciting as a month ago it looked totally dead and now it's coming back to life hoorah!

hope everyone is having a lovely day

Sun here too, cherry and crab apple blossoming, lovely.

On pins, as niece is 12 days overdue with her honeymoon baby, and is being induced today.

oooo do you make crab apple jelly tk?haven't had that for years i adore it. My friend's mum used to be my dealer and get me jars from the WI

fingers crossed everything goes well with grandniece!!! 12 days overdue i bet the poor girl can't wait

Only a very young tree, no fruit yet unfortunately!

Touch wood, it's going to be a grand nephew, and yes poor niece is fed up at this stage!
