Morning splash---It is really splashing and banging and booming--it is 14 and we have a whopping thunderstorm going on continuously. I slept last night  with no wake ups for a change.until almost 7 this morning and even with the banging and booming Sagwa was not trying to get under me but once I really looked he was curled up beside the bed. He is now having a morning nap infront of me om the desk.. I like Dianne never use the self checkout.I don't like the feeling of someone watching me like I may do something wrong; Besides its just another way for them to cheap out and save on paying cashieers who in our case is usually some high school type student earning  minimun wage. I don't know about well done crispburgers(don't think it was that king of charcoal that is the good stuff for you !!I have to get busy and do the floors this morning and I haave a nurse who I hope remembers we have no coban for my leg and there has been no delivery.Have a good day and good luck with the groceery shopping.

Hello Ed, your supermarket checkout problems can be avoided by not going through the self serve thing. I refuse to do that. I love chatting with the cashiers. Today as I was getting ready for my goods to go through a man ahead of me  was chatting to the cashier and I joined the conversation. He was amusing. He mentioed that he had been driving a truck for 8 hours. When he left I noticed that a bottle of milk was still there. I told the cashier that it was most likely his. She rushed out of the store and called out to him and happily he turned back and she gave him his milk. She thanked me for pointing it out and then we chatted. Another reason for not doing the self serve! I think that I was mistaken about Pat living near you? She lives in Hertsfordshire. I enjoyed my re heated dinner as I watched a bit of TV. Now I am getting ready for bed and a new book. Enjoy your day.

Hello Ed, I love it when you get carried away! After to writing to Pat who lives near you, I decided and have made an appointment at a local Optomerist. Something weird is going on with my eyes. Could be good! For many years I have worn bifocals however lately I have been raising my glasses to get a clearer view of long distance. Well the eye test will reveal all. So I will miss Art Group as the appointment conflicts however it must be done. I guess that I will start the soup in the morning. Now time to reheat my leftovers and watch a bit of TV. Enjoy your day!

Hello Ed, TY for the  Mallard and Ruby seed. The book that I read, finished last night, was her first one. I enjoyed it except for the language and sexual stories. Perhaps I am becoming a prude? I will be interested to hear what you think about the second book. Pity about your charcoaled dinner. Cooking 2 different dinners cannot be easy. Today I purchased all the ingredients that I need to make a pot of Pea and Ham soup. I will make it after Art group tomorrow. Once cooked I will then make separate containers to freeze. Now I have to tend to my clothes washing. Do you use a clothes line or dryer? I guess that washing is another chore of yours. I prefer to hang my washing on a line. However I do have a dryer. Do you have a dishwasher other than yourself? I do! Enjoy your new day!

Morning splash--It looks like a wet Monday here but the temperatures 14 so a big improvement over the white stuff that was around for so long. Yes Rory did it but not without a bit of nerves on whether he would get there.I was sort of hoping for the great comeback of Sheffler but he was one short. I really don't know why some of these golfers put themselves in the position they do--yes they won it once upon a time but now its sort of embarassing to see them bottom of the lists. I guess now the golf is done until Thurs I better get some work done around here. Have a good walk to town and a nice visit in the charity shop.
