A very resolute new year.


AJ, less of a good thing than there was before the healthy eating regime - determined not to be a heavy burden on the state at 40!
A working Samsung DVD player. A rare find.




Lunch on 1 Jan. Cottage pie, fish pie beans & sugar snaps. Recipes from M & S.



Our fury "friend". He is still here. Many Christmas presents had a mole theme!





A great start to 2008 with 32 family & friends for lunch + 5 of our grandchildren. They were all very well behaved & the children were wonderful.
Thanks to A Jen & Peter for all of their help with the vegetables!
Is there anybody out there who would like some cheese?
The fridge has more blue veins than the waiting room at a varicose stripping unit & everyone is dieting!
A plant orientated dinner tonight - carrot soup, cauliflower cheese & jacket potatoes & pears in red wine (only left overs) for dinner.
Calculate the fibre content in that!
Peter went home this am, AJ & I went to Solihull to shop in the sales. Well, M&S anyway.
The new TV is great. The new DVD player is not. It did not work. G was driven to reading the instruction book in frustration, to no avail. He communicated with the Samsung Help Line & it was eventually decided that the scart lead terminal was duff.
We took this back to Currys this am & I passed on this gem. They exchanged the player without question & offered me a job in their technical dept.
I am considering this.
AJ advises against this, presumably because she feels that this would impinge on my new-found freedom.
I hope to spend tomorrow with E, T &KP.
Snow, snow stay away.

Have you any comment to make on my thoughtfully composed blog, anon, apart from this.

I'm sorry that we missed the New Years Day party, it is always good fun washing up together with ajen.... Any nice treats from M&S? "Working" from home today, not very motivated, have to work on Saturday as well, great!
Happy New Year.

We all know your place aj.
M&S treats were great fun - we may see aj out of the lilac yet.
The best time is at the end of the sales when all of the Christmas presents have been returned & they just want to clear the shelves.
