But oh the drugs are so much better than my first one, that I had 20 years ago now. It is starting to bite me now, but don't tell my surgeon. He can't wait to chisel it out and find out why an implant that was withdrawn two weeks after mine went in, has lasted so long. I, on the other hand, would rather just die with it in place thank you.
My cobbler is wonderful. Recipe Lilith - cube 85gms butter into baking dish in oven as it heats to 180, once melted pour in batter made of one cup sugar, one cup flour, 2tspns bp, stirred together with half to three quarter cup of milk, and layer fruit on top of that, sprinkle cinnamon to taste and bake 40 minutes odd. Easiest pud I have ever made and vey toffeeish at the edges. Yoghurt or ice cream...
That's dinner. Oh being old is so lovely, dessert for dinner!
That seems so easy I might give it a try next time the urge takes me, cheers.
Just put up friday Funnies,Mel Smith on Parkinson & Billy Connolly, two Scotsmen in Rome...

Made a sale on 19th July which the buyer failed to respond to or pay for. After a week I cancelled the sale, got a refund and posted a negative FB.
3rd August the buyer finally emails me thinking she paid but hasn't received the item and is trying to work out what happened. I advised her to reorder through our website.
5th August another reply saying she can't find the link on our website to make an order and has also lost the Trade Me email to make payment that way. I sent her a link direct to our website page for the product.
28th August (yesterday, 5 1/2 weeks since the original order) we received an email via the TM reply function saying payment had been made and sure enough it showed up in our account and we dispatched the item. Some people just shouldn't be allowed near a computer unsupervised.
In other news I purchased a power tool from a Trade Me seller in Auckland on Monday with immediate payment made. After chasing up the seller for tracking/dispatch info I got a reply last night with an Aramex tracking number, that drew a blank. Seller then advised to check it again today as the courier would be picking it up then. 4 days after sale and payment FFS. Some sellers are just slack arses I guess.
Rant over
" Some people just shouldn't be allowed near a computer unsupervised."
I suspect sweetie darling no. 2 sometimes thinks his (entirely saintly) mum might be one of those...
I did manage to muck up a trade a while back but realised in time & the seller was entirely reasonable about it thankfully.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
