Where is everybody?

Here I is!!


went out today for the first time since Wednesday, when I did my hamstring in again

Finally felt able to tackle steps, and hard chairs!

Only went for coffee, and OH took me for a quick trip to the shop at Ikea ...... it's accessed directly from the car park, and I needed to replenish my supply of Elderflower and Lingonberry drinks!

middle of the night nudge

Glad you're back. Know of loganberries but not the ones you mention. Are they some exotic types?

Sorry to hear about the hamstring. Hope you're much better soon.

I'll have to Google ligonberry.

You can buy lingonberry sauce, sold as cranberry sauce, at LIDL supermarkets. Don't just eat it with meat, try it with brie for a tasty sandwich or toastie.

Hi

I thought lingonberry was a Scandinavian berry. I've had it as a sauce (rather tart), and as a concentrate for a drink.

But like you, I have just googled it ................... and it is the Scandinavian name for what we call Cranberry in North America.

It's the same plant, just different names for the berries

Yes I saw that Sylvia. Just thought the tip on what to do with it quite unusual.

Wonder why anyone would call it a "fox berry".

Off for some shut eye now. Enjoy your - afternoon?

Jeanie

You missed this one S.

Lovely day everyone.

Time for a nudge and a goodnight wave,

Jeanie

Well I know I told Michael I'd help to keep this warm for him but now I seem to be doing it entirely on my own. Going on strike now!!!

Jeanie

ooops

Well glad you are awake now Sylvia!

Please tell me how to add. Noticed a lot of the time on these threads the old hands seem to have an Add at the bottom of their comments. So I just tried it and wrote quite a little spiel but it hasn't appeared.
I'm exhausted and going to put feet up for an hour in front of telly. Be back in later before late night dog walk and bed.

Jeanie:-))

sorry 'bout that!

Oh! Does it come direct to you or something?

I'm mystified.

You're doing a grand job Jeanie.

Thanks Michael

Where have you been? Not in Wales all this time!

Hi Jeanie

The Add button at the bottom of all postings is supposed to add a reply to the thread, it doesn't come to me or any other poster directly.


BUT, that button didn't work for so many years that most of us have got accustomed to using the Reply box at the top, just under the thread title.

I think I've used the Add just a couple of times in the last 6 months, it seemed to work OK then, but I don't really like it.




My "sorry 'bout that" was in response to a posting of yours that I saw that just said Well

I thought you were referring to the fact that I didn't have any money to give you a salary raise!
