Bank Holiday Monday...

[Eleena]

What have you been doing? Have you made work for yourself, or did you go out/ chill out?

[Eleena]

I decided to make an effort .. I've made two cakes, a chocolate & Victoria sponge. Later I'm making garlic & rosemary roasties & chicken with lemon & thyme with veg.

[Arksided]

Kinda busy... had a shave, a wash and all clean, done all the washing up I'd left before looking after Bro's pets/home and cleaned the kitchen floor.... thus far

[Eleena]

Also, won on the Irish lottery, so I've just ordered a Lemax piece (Lemax skate rentals)... to go with a skating piece I have for .......... Christmas ha ha!! It's not so far off :0/

[Rockrose]

Went for a ride then took the dogs out

[shoota]

Garlic, rosemary, lemon, thyme.....?
Bit of salt and pepper and let the ingredients speak for themselves.

[Eleena]

Ark, are you weary? I feel a bit tired now, but I'll be o.k in a bit.

[TonyV]

I've been making bird boxes this morning come in for some lunch.

[retrocop]

Had a wedding in North Yorkshire to0 attend on Saturday. Long drive back South yesterday so big chill out in the sun after washing clothes and debugging car. :-) Up the local to enjoy some decent beer later.

[Prudie]

Have just got back from spending a ridiculous amount at the garden centre. Trays all over the patio table and no current inclination to plant them out :-)

[Eleena]

rockrose, that sounds nice & chilled out to me.

[Eleena]

Shoota, does it all go together? I just picked a couple of things that sounded tasty, with veg of course.

[TonyV]

Prudie just make sure you keep them watered, they will last for a few days. If you have large enough bowl soak them in that.

[Eleena]

Tony, lovely, can you plug a pic up? You'll never guess what happened earlier, a sparrow flew in to the kitchen window. I thought a kid had come round the back & thrown something. I set round the back to find a dazed sparrow. I just left it & went out a few minutes later & it had flown.

[Arksided]

Yeah you could say that, having a chat with my neighbour this morning who needs a ramp sorted for his mobility scooter.

[Eleena]

Prudie, ha ha!!
I'm finding a few similarities in you & me. What types did you buy? I'm overjoyed to see all my sweet peas have started shooting up, I can't wait for the colours and fragrance.

I'm doing important work on behalf of the nation, monitoring the outpourings of sundry members on Answerbank.

There's no higher calling.

[shoota]

Whatever floats your boat Eleena but it doesn't work for me. There are strong flavours there and a real risk of being overpowering.
I prefer my roasts to taste of what they are.

[Arksided]

cheer up mate.

[TonyV]

This is tried and tested that work.

Aww Ark,
you've just reminded me of the time my brother made one for my dad, it gave him the freedom of the garden. Your neighbour will appreciate that so much.
