Hi everyone

All postings and comments should start appearing again now.  Gosh – is that a sigh of relief I hear from all my cat fans who love looking at my cat piccies (thanks for the visits and comments by the way).  Both Hercules and Xena are very well – although Xena’s hip is giving her a bit of gip. However, she soldiers on the little love.

Chat soon – thanks for visiting

Love n stuff

… my techy guys have found the problem and told me they will put it ‘on the sheet’ to fix. Darned cheek eh? I’m the boss as well!!!! SHHssss – no respect these days is there?? NOTE The sarcasm

Anyway sweeties – especially Jackie in Canada, Gill (not of Canada), Jacky of bonny Scotland and of course Shmiles and any of my relatives, you will get to see that loaf of Bread SOON – I promise.

For now here’s a thought for the day.

“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery. Today is a
gift. That’s why it’s called the present.”

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

Hold on to your hats folks ….

…. not only because of this wild weather we are having but because …. now wait for it …. I have been learning to bake!!! Yes – you heard right – Julie has been cooking!!! Amazing eh?  For all of those out there that know me really well you will know what a event this is.  Gosh – I’m still amazed myself.

How did it occur?? Well – it was a pure accident really.  Brent has been poorly in bed all week and although we were stocked up to the gills with food we did not have any bread.  Now – I’m not keen on going out in general – especially if it is only to a shop to buy bread so I was driven to look in the store cupboard – and VOILA!!!  The next thing you know I’m mixing, kneading, rising and baking.  Then of course EATING – it must have been good because it all went very quickly.

SO – I made some more!

And that went even quicker ….. SO …. you got it!!! I made some more… Photos shown here.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee – well I never

Thanks for reading

Lots of love n stuff

This one is for Ellie …

Posted under Fun Stuff, Happiness

…. thanks for your lovely message Ellie.  I always welcome messages from people – although I am rubbish at replying. That is why I set up this blog – due to complaints from friends all around  the world that they did not know if I was alive or dead.  As you can see I am not a big blogger – lucky if I do one post a month – but it is enough as far as I am concerned.

ann and julieOf course I would love to hear more about you.  Your mum has my address if you would like to put pen to paper and write a letter (with photos please – I love photos) – I have also sent her an email so she now has my private email address.

Anyway Ellie – here’s a little picture I thought you and your sisters might find entertaining – it is marked Ann & Julie 1962 on the back.

I am the one with the blonde curly tea cosy on my head!

Lots of love n stuff
