We have this bush in the garden .When it comes into bloom it looks glorious and it's just starting now .However I have no idea what it is . It was here when we moved in nearly nine years ago .
Any offers ?

hello all...what a night....Rab wanted to hunt the garden from 1 till 3 which is usually fine because shughy and I just snooze....except he came in at 3 and the weather came over from 4 till 5.30 and I had to get up again at 8 to put the rubbish out....

[shaneystar2]

Hello all
Lovely day here ,bright but very chilly.Makes a change from the past drizzly days.My feet were cold the other day while I was out and I wished I'd had a scarf on.Yes, I think it's time to get the boots and other colder weather gear out.
Hope you're all ok though.
I haven't got any Lidl duvet covers Neti only duvets but the covers fit alright .Mind you some of mine are still the ones from germany which we inherited .Best quality damask made to last.They have to be ironed which is not so good but fab to sleep in .

Feel much better today. Am taking my meds and Beroca. Made a delish lamb stew with dumplings in slow cooker, was so good.

my gum still sore but I think (or hope) slightly less than yesterday. Threw a surprise birthday lunch for OH at a restaurant in town, with unlimited prosecco, which seemed to go down well with everyone. More so when I said I was paying for it all, as it was a Big Birthday.

[woofgang]

glad the poorlies are feeling better. Hope Robi and Shaney are ok too. I am awake which is something of a miracle, got jobs done today and everything. Dogs are zonked.

[netibiza]

Oh jno last of the big spenders! Bet I could be ohs mother!! Kids of today huh!!
Robi!! Hansen has left Holby, I am gutted!!!

[shaneystar2]

Congrats to your OH Jno.
I've been watching the tele and having a drink of something called bottle green mango and coconut presse .It's made in the Cotswolds and they can keep it .Very sickly.I poured the rest down the sink . Mr S has inkaholic drinks in the bottle basket and they kept winking at me but I refrained.I think if I had a proper drink now I'd be squiffy in five minutes.
Are you getting to grips now with the slow cooker Neti ?
Night all.

[jno]

bottle green mango and coconut presse from the Cotswolds... and to think there are still people out there denying climate change.

Have watched Saving Mr Banks in my quest to accumulate goods for Nikolaustag.

[netibiza]

Good morning all. I deny climate change, well I know it's changing but it always has throughout history.
Yes shaney apart from having to get up at some unearthly hour to prepare it. It makes a lovely stew and its nice to sit down knowing it is cooking.
Anyone got cervical spongybob in their neck? I apparently have although I am sure it is a tumour!! Have pain killers which are such a relief. Oh where are my Pacha dancing days!!!

[netibiza]

Shaney can I heat up left over stew in slow cooker? If so how long and what number?

[shaneystar2]

Morning all
Peers throught the gloom ..real pea souper out there this morning.
I've never reheated anything in the slow cooker Neti.I always freeze leftover stew or casserole and reheat on the hob.
Google gives varying opinions on reheating in it .

I haven't got spongybob but I have got arthritis in my neck. It's not a tumour,stop worrying and take your tablets :)

[netibiza]

Ah I see, no rumour and not aliw cooker then!
Shaney dies it hurt awfully up one side of head? And I have a sore spot.

[netibiza]

Typos caused by undetected brain tumour!

[jno]

I'd probably get an osteoo to work on my sore spot, neti, though not for a few days, to let it sort itself out.

[Robinia]

Morning all...dull and chilly. Yesterday turned out glorious and I did some pottering, it was so warm in the sun, it's such a tonic.
Belated congrats to your OH jno. Yes, it' not long to Nikolaustag....I've accumulated one goods. Not good.

I'm gutted about Hanssen too neti, I love him, he seems like a lovely man in real life. I may need to see a mexico for therapy. The script did suggest he'll be back though, maybe he's just having a break, he likes to do theatre.
Chin up and take it easy spongibiza.

That drink even sounds sickly shaney, doesn't sound like my kind of thing and I can't tolerate much alcohol nowadays either. I've got some frozen stew but I think it'll be hubble bubble and squeak today.
Btw, Fenjal's on offer in Boots, a third off. :)

[Robinia]

Neti - Looks like Guy Henry's been filming The Moonstone a period drama mini series due to be shown every afternoon next week on BBC1.

[shaneystar2]

That looks good Robinia .I see John Thompson is in it .
No I don't get any pain in my head Neti,just my neck and spine.I find it hard to turn my head from one side to the other.It used to swizzle around at a rate of knots 'cos I had eyes in the back of my head:)
It's arthritis ,there are lots of forms of it including spongybob.I call it the Wilburys as it travels round the body to the end of the line.....boom!!

[netibiza]

Oh goodness more Hanssen. Please remind me.
There's a snake in my mailbox, I saw it flipping in so am leaving it for Mr N to battle when he comes home.

[woofgang]

I used to love Fenjal but now it makes me itchy. I wouldn’t reheat in a slow cooker because there’s that first bit where the stuff just sits there cold and I would be worried about bugs.

[netibiza]

Yes am reheating slowly on hob. Can't poison thebold man!
Just seen an old interview with Guy Henry on YouTube, yes he is so nice, awww!
