............to create a quiet corner.

notso It's not autumn until I wear my vest!

I wore my winter PJs to bed last night Ella, but I stayed up a bit later than Nannadogs chucks

Good morning everyone, a chilly damp day here- winter drawers on soon methinks
I'm off to my exercise class this morning and no doubt the joints will be complaining about the weather too!

They certainly are Anag. The chucks took themselves to bed at 7.00pm.

What a lovely, peaceful day it's been!
The nights are drawing in though....

Mmm. Thanks when. I've had a couple of weeks of real indulgences so from now on, only virtual ones are allowed. The thick jersey cream is a perfect addition to your cake.

On its way notso. I've put some jersey thick cream with it, just in case......!

Lovely to be back in the corner. All peaceful and no squabbles.

When, could you fax me a big slice of chocolate cake please?

when that's cruel. I could just murder a piece of chocolate cake.

Hi marelli thanks for asking and ella for the suggestion. Chance if a spa day would be wonderful.

Yes, I'm flat our on sofa with my second G&T! It will be a regular thing on a Tuesday. I confess I enlisted MrDogs to help but to be honest not sure that was a good idea as he's a bit gaga.

when

Marelli and Ana thank you, that's interesting.

, when! Happy days, indeed!

I've just made this chocolate cake if anyone wants to share it? I'm going to have a nice cup of and then go and watch the Great British Bake Off, which is one of my favourite programmes.

Been a busy day. Babies passed their checkup at the baby clinic with flying colours and Alice obliged by weeing all over the health visitor's desk when being weighed. We did say she had been too long without her nappy on!

I Googled this out of interest, and apparently ginger males outnumber females 3 to 1, and tortoiseshell cats are nearly always female!

Are you still awake, Nanadog - or are you flat out on the sofa? You'll sleep well tonight!
Ella, ginger cats tend to be toms, and I think marmalade tabbies are mainly female. No idea why, though!

I thought that Ella, but I'm not allowed to talk to soop.

I've just come for a restful and a large slice of virtual cake!
I'm shattered after dgd has been with me all day. Nanadog you deserve a medal, a large and a spa day! I don't know how you do it!!

soop why wouldn't a ginger kit be female, are the rules different in Scotland?

Ariadne I'm grinning for you. Happy days! How lovely for you.
Mr soop has just called me to look out the bedroom window. Guess what? The weeny ginger kitten is nosing around Rory's apartment. He is absent. The camera is at the ready. It really is an adorble creature. We guess about 2 months old. Is it possible for a ginger kit to be female? If so, we're going to have to trap her. She'll need to be spayed. Otherwise, Rory will be mating with her just as soon as he gets a chance. If I get a photo, I'll upload and share it with you.

Mmmm, peace and quiet. Hello, everyone - I'll just put my feet up for a while. Oh, that's nice. We're packing and dismantling and DH is still in list heaven, dealing with things bless him - "It's all falling into place, you know" beaming beatifically.

We have a farewell dinner every night this week, which is lovely but I really must pace myself and not have too much to eat or drink. But maybe I'll work it off during the day...

Thanks soop must have been another senior moment.

That would be lovely thanks soop pleased to. make your acquaintance movedalothow is every one today

Fruit cake looks lovely..

AH!!! If it isn't sweet, innocent Nellie...come and park your backside on this comfy sofa. Would you like a slice of fruit cake?

Budge up is there room for a litttle'un ? I will have what ever is going

Movedalot It's okay. You're allowed to wander. Would you like a lemon & ginger tea? If you're not fussed about the shortbread, I'll eat yours. Can't let good food go to waist waste!

Oops done that thing where you think its a new post and put this on after only reading first page. Sorry, obviously should have had more coffee!
