I can't resist taking in stray cats of all shapes and sizes. I've helped dozens over the years, but at the moment we don't have a cat to our name. At our peak we had 5 living with us and 2 visiting.

I've just picked 5lbs of blackcurrants from my garden and made some jam. It's an annual ritual along with picking and freezing my broad beans and peas. Then there will be a lull before I tackle the sweetcorn. Busy busy!

I like Brazil nuts, but my cat prefers pecan nuts. The shape of their shell means they behave un-predictably when being batted around the kitchen floor. They bounce of the cabinets at a crazy speed in all directions. Great fun!

Going to stick with the 'tried and tested' of previous years. My favourites being broad beans, tomatoes and sweetcorn.

I went through a 'vegetable soup and chips' phase, mainly because it was the latest 'cool' thing to hit my school. I am talking over 30 years ago, sounds rather tame now doesn't it?

I worked for 35 years for an employer. Now I stay home and look after my garden. Guess which I prefer?!

"On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery." Sweet! :lol:

She's beautiful. Aren't cats brilliant?

A very handsome bear.

Now that is one hec of a pizza!

Good one! Thanks

My grandfather passed away about 40 years ago, but I still remember him, and my grandmother. He made braces for a living, ( the sort that hold your trousers up ) and later had a sweet shop. He was injured quite badly in the First World War, and lost most of the use in his left hand. He was a...

Want to get the grass cut if I can get my mower mended and it doesn't rain.

Yes, my cat loves to be in the kitchen, and we've had several near misses over the years. She can smell prawns from several hundred yards away.

Liked Blaine's early stuff, but not keen on his more recent high profile, highly publicised stunts.

As a non-meat eater, I'll be sure to try this.

Terrible tragedy, what drives people to do such things? My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

My husband gave up smoking about 12 years ago. Since then he has gradually put on weight. He is now having problems with his hip joints, but won't see a doctor. He needs to lose weight. I'm really worried. If it gets to the stage where he can't walk, I'm not big enough to lift him.

Tchaikovsky is one of my favourites too, but a couple of my other favourites are; Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, from Solomon, by Handel and Pachelbel's Canon in D.

On a transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in front of the plane. "I'm too young to die!"she wails. "Well, if I'm...

Nice one! :smile:

Don't sleep with one, though I still have 'Big Teddy' who was bought for me when I was 1 year old, which was 51 years ago. Sadly the moths got at him whilst he was in storage. He's a bit of a mess now. I hate moths and will never forgive them.

I learned one last week. Panglossian. It means blindly or naively optimistic.
