Cheese for tea

On the phone to daughter-blog yesterday she told me that she was having cheese for tea. That was it. No explanation. No recipe. No other ingredients. I assume it looked like this...

Ageing rapidly

Some days you just know that time is catching up on you, today was such a day.

I decided to take pity on Mrs Blog's two bantams as they shivered in the snow. I gave them some corn and they gave me the run around for ten minutes, escaping and disappearing under the beech hedge. After some clever hen-psychology I had them back in the coop and was not feeling the cold myself.

At this point young man turned up with a leaflet in his hand and offered it to me. I thanked him and went back indoors. At first glance the leaflet looked to be about sheds (great timing on the part of the young man - getting me in the garden within yards of my knackered old shed!). When I got my glasses on I saw it wasn't a  leaflet about sheds, it was a leaflet about "care cottages". According to the leaflet you can now buy a shed to put your granny (or in my case grandpa) in - just hope the kids don't get one!!

Unusual Soup

My thanks to Mrs Blog for her selfless contribution to this latest post...

She was advised by dentist-blog to buy an electric toothbrush. As a seasoned shopper, Mrs Blog was on the look-out for a bargain and priced up the benchmark offerings on Amazon and Ebay. armed with the useful ammunition that the going price was about £25 she was overjoyed to find a £9.99 offering in Sainsburys. That is, until she looked closer and realised it was a hand-blender.

You hear something and misunderstand

Mrs Blog was on the phone to the Sussex-blogs this morning, after the call she said,

"Yvonne said that she was awake all night with the wind!"

I know now that I should have checked with the met office!

Bit of a prat

Two days ago I wandered into the dining room to ask Son-Blog and Daughter-Blog  if they had seen my reading glasses.

I was met with derisive laughter that led me to my missing spectacles...
