What I did today.

I woke up to cooked sausages made by my son as he is staying for the weekend with my grandchild, then took my Grandchild to collect conquers from the park,,, then went to the swing park and came back and spent best part of the day clearing up, washing up etc, I made stir fry for Tea, Oh and forgot to mention that I managed a shop in between all that!!!!--feel quite happy today because its nice to spend time with my son and granchild and I feel that I am re gaining control of my eating....Lets see what tommorow brings, more good things God willing......

You probably shouldn't! You'll have nightmares!

Bags I'm picturing you trying it in your lounge in the nude!

Sleep tight

Well I'm to bed. I must start packing tomorrow and even the thought of it makes me exhausted.
Do you think 4 suitcases will be enough for 18 days?

And drawing the bowstring that far back is daft. It might cut her ear off, apart from anything else. And she wouldn't be able to do that standing on one leg.

The artist knew nothing about archery, one surmises, and not much about female anatomy.

Glad that's sorted

yes.

So's her figure I think!

Yes, recurve, but any bow whose limbs bent that much would be useless. Artistic licence, I suppose.

I typed recurved!

It's a type of recurred bow isn't it?

(that's a very weird bow she has)

bags. Just seen the statue of Diana that used to be in Maddison square gardens. She's nude with a bow! Is this what you mean by barebow archery?

recopes???

recipes!

nelliem, please put the recipe in the recopes section. I'd love to have a go at Berliner Brot!

I baked my Christmas treat cake called "Berliner Brot." Cinnamoned Flour, sugar, grated chocolate, cut mixed peel, chopped nuts, sherry and "pear and apple spread." (Very concentrated juices of the fruit.) This beats mince pies any day.

I had just put the mixture in the oven when I realised I had forgotten the Pear and apple spread. I yanked it out again poured it back in the bowl and whisked that in. Its going to be wait and see.
In the mean time I had rescued the kitchen timer from upstairs but I have now lost it completely. ?The dishwasher or the compost bin. It's not in the mixture itself though.

Exhausting but happy day Christmas shopping with DD1. I continue to be overjoyed that she moved back from Northern Ireland five years ago and now lives a couple of miles away. Our other children and grandchildren live three hours away in opposite directions so it's lovely to be able to share the build up to Christmas with somebody close.

Lovely to skype GC!

I have spent the day at GS's 4th birthday party - I am on my knees! But it was great fun.

I've just had a lovely long Skype with dd and DGD. I won't be able to again until I return! I'm apparently googrey! it's the nearest she can get to granny, the other one is grandma which I'd prefer, or perhaps grandmere! But I'm googrey!

Join the club OGM - realised this morning that it is 10 days away. Have been in date denial throughout December.
But must check front path, guttering etc. Have to say a bit of space rock would be a fantastic seasonal gift!
(Unless it was like the ones I saw in Perth museum - big lumps of iron the size of a dustbin. Would not want a very hot one of those landing on the roof at terminal velocity!)

Could be a parcel, you know who doing a practise run!
Gracesmum.... I have yet to write a single card
Can you all guess, this is not my fave time of year..... must do some thing or I'll miss all the posting deadlines

Something fell on my roof. Wondered if it might be a fragment of meteor?

You all sound so active
I have been hunkered down unwilling to face the elements even to shut the side gate which is now banging in the hooly blowing outside. I have still not finished all the C cards and have a pile of ironing you could use an oxygen mask to scale and what have I been doing? Getting on with my first knitted Sarah Lund doll while watching execrable daytime TV.
Really really can't be bothered to move off the sofa at all...................

I arrived in the house before I had to get them from school jodi otherwise there would be no chance!
