maple syrup products

[woofgang]

does anyone know where I can buy maple sugar, cream and butter from a uk mail order company? I know I can get it straight from Canada and the US but the p and p and customs make this very expensive.

Am watching The Planets in order to be able to converse with my great nephew. Brian ( I feel I may call him that as hes almost family) its Dr cox to you. Hes gorgeous isnt he. Havent heard quark anywhere!!
How are you all? Getting rather too hot here but what can I do about it?

[netibiza]

Gave up! Now watching tribute to Vera lyn. Now this I understand!

poor man didn't finish till gone 2.30 and he was dripping....says he's used to it and doesn't care. He did a really good job though. We had a large late lunch so no idea now what to have for dinner or when.

[jno]

phew, the computer is fixed, touch wood, he had to take it home with him last night.

Well.done jno. I must take mine in
Slightly overcast today but sweaty
I have bought 2 replacement cartridges for new printer and will have to google YouTube as to how to insert them. Nothing overly exciting to report!

[woofgang]

glad to hear you are sorted Jno. We went out for a proper give the engine a good blast drive today. I have to do it every so often or the catalyst gets ruined. I also checked my tyre pressures. Rab is getting quite cheerful in the car so long as I don't vanish from his sight.

[jno]

yes, I must go out for a drive otherwise the car battery will get out and go on holiday by itself. it's quite sunny at the moment, but so it should be for the longest day.

[netibiza]

Oh yes longest day. Also my sister's birthday ( that's Ronnies's sister). She calls me big sis! Hot here. I asked Mr N to make a roast chicken dinner to give him something to do,poor soul, it was unbearably hot in the kitchen with the big oven on. It was nice to eat it though! Just lolled about today.
21 flights in and out of the island today, with no quarantine its scary!!

[jno]

you want to welcome the British back without quarantining them, I see. Beware, you're dooooomed!

been warm here today too but I still had chicken tray bake for dinner. I love tray bakes. Sling the bits from the fridge in a baking tray season and drizzle with oil and bake and it comes out like a recipe.

[netibiza]

We most certainly do NOT want them here but we, the little people, have been overruled. We are bound to get a rise in infections and are almost clear! I am furious!

[jno]

neti, Brits may be able to get in and see you without quarantining, but as I understand it they'll still be quarantined here when they get back, which is a high price to pay for the opportunity to party in Ibiza.

Though it'll probably be OK to break quarantine for eye checks.

[netibiza]

But what's the point t of that jno. Uk has more.covid cases then Spain and its no use to us having them checked on re-entry to UK after having passed into to us here! Saw several tourists today with no masks at all!

[woofgang]

I think its the whole being together on the plane, being with people from other places thing......I mean surely Spain isn't only allowing folk in from the UK?

[jno]

I'm thinking not many will go to Spain for a while yet, neti, not as long as there's any chance of being locked in here when they get back. Blackpool it will have to be.

We are getting g UK tourists piling in 11 flights today jet2 flights and 1 Ryanair. Yes if course we have tourists from.other countries but they are obeying the laws and wearing masks probably because they had to in their homeland.
Its lovely weather. During lockdown I reported out toad sign as being illegible and today th4y fixed it with no mention of Passathe which is the actual address so now it's even worse than before, as delivery drivers etc wont ever find it and it does not appear in Satnav. I have reported it and it also faces towards our houses ( there are only 2) and as I politely pointed out we actually know where the passage is!! I give up!
This being back to normal with social distancing feels strange and I have o don t well be back in lockdown soon . Once ate is southern Spain Huelva ornHesca I cant remember is trying to put itself back into lockdown as the cases have risen steeply this week but the Gov says they cannot do it!!

[jno]

illegible toad sign? They can't read very well anyway, but give them one with their picture on it

soooo hot here today and going to be worse tomorrow

I spent all day feeling as if I hadn't had any sleep last night (which I had)

I spent all day feeling as if I hadn't had any sleep last night (which I had) so I abandoned plans to go for a walk and get some exercise. I may try again tomorrow.) I lay on a sun lounger in the garden for a while until a rat ran across the path a few feet away.
