Like the sound of your pork chop
My pants are relegated to charity sewing. Love the animal print didn't like the cut and fit. Someone will like them.
Will buy more fabric if it presents itself for another edition in the future.
Rain not far off here moisture in the air.
It's fun to have fun but you have to know how

Despite dressing for spring, I have the most fragrant pea and ham soup on the stove in the big pot, the only one that takes a full ham hock. With carrot, celery, onion, dried green peas, chilli powder, ginger, coriander branch (the plant is pretty big), mint tops, and crushed garlic, with lemon zest to activate the greens, and a heap of black pepper.
That wind out there can blw as hard as it likes, I am set for the weekend!

We met at the supermarket and then kept creating traffic jams.. Oops lol. Then we brought chicken rolls and coleslaw home had lunch, Lorraine went on her way and Di and I did two oppies.
I got a dish draining rack, Yay its like new. I hated putting washed dishes on the bench, a another centerpiece/tray for the coffee table.. a Black cardy and a light grey one with a hoodie. But both with long sleeves but nice and light.
But my spoil were two large serving platters the same Pohutukawa decoration as my two tiered cake stand and a teapot and cup set. Originally from Stevens or Farmers, but I've never brought any of them new.
Ive been thinking about having Dianne, Lorraine, David and Caron around before Christmas so they will be perfect.
Her Hair is starting to drop. But she said they had fun with the wig lady yesterday. Who advised the artificial ones are far better to control and she found one close to how her hair is today. So that's good.
Will be up early tomorrow as I have to be at hers around 7am, cos the taxi will arrive around 7-30am.
I've often wondered about Harum pants.. I imagine they are totally comfortable.
They are - I've got a couple of pair. They're good in summer but cotton's not quite as cool as viscose.
Mine are baggy -ish around the bottom so when I bike wearing them I use those fabric thingys, scrunchies, I think they are (which are meant to tie your hair) round the bottoms to prevent getting caought in chain or pedal, - so far, so good.
The sneaky toad youngest grandson pulled the same trick on his Mum, Dad & his sister - she cried. He filmed it on his phone so he could show me.
He's so lovely that lad & despite his being a Taurus,we agree on loads of things.
He turned up this morning & he took me to go & get a new vacuum, mine died ages ago & have been using his dad's (Sweetie darling no 2) spare one ever since, so good to have a better one..she said hopefully.
I'm really so lucky to have such brilliant grandkids. I must have done something really excellent in a past life to deserve them.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

Soup done. It is really good. I may have overdone the chilli a tad. But that is what creamy additions are for...

Hey us Taurean's are Good Peoples lol... sounds like you have a good one too Lilith.. Mind you my twin brother is the total opposite of me ,,, but I've always been the leader he is the follower.
That wind is cold but the hospital warm. Well it was an education being in where they do the chemo. I think Di had 5 bags of stuff in all The chemo part only taking 18 minutes. She had a little pain in the wrist hand where the lure was but otherwise flue through. ate lunch with no troubles..
There were 9 people having it done and the nurses were continuously on their feet keeping up with all the bottles and timers. and as one left the next came in.
She said having me talk with her and keeping her distracted helped so I will go whenever she wants me to.
I didn't stay when we got back I told her to go in and rest a bit.
Wow I didn't know we had to do clexane for a colonoscopy KM. My dr wants me to have one.. I dont know why and for some reason it annoys me I have never had any trouble in that department apart from when I take big pain meds. Ill be phoning them on Monday and telling them I will make an appointment after I have spoken to my Dr. I dont know why he wants me to do it. We have never discussed it.
Picked up the egg beater for Gayle and dropped it off. Its a good solid one. And the sneaky madam had got me a snuggly hoodie is what Im calling it.. Its long, it actually reaches the floor lol.. but it has huge pockets on the front and a hoodie and long sleeves.
She had a pretty green chenille blanket she had crochet on the table. She said you have a choice, you an have that one or wait a little while for a red one which will be bigger.. Of course I said the red lol..
Oddly no one has ever given me a crochet blanket and its something Ive always wanted. Something that someone has put their love and care into.
So Im feeling very spoilt.
Had LFT / KFC for lunch it was so good. So No cooking for me tonight.. Ill have fruit most likely and if Im peckish Ill have some Vogal's Toast. Haven't had any in years so Di gave me a few slices of hers yesterday.
Ill have a quick play on here then spend some time with my girl

They told me I couldn't, so I did.!!
