I loathe watermelon.

Really enjoy pineapple... I had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner when I was in Hawaii.. then I ended up with a sore roof of my mouffff...... it really was fffff sore..

Dea........ :-D :-D <3


I agree with Dea Sylvs.......any breakfast is welcomed with gratitude......


Nearly time for bed here.......night night all......... :-)

PS - If you knew whaT i have been through over the past few days - you would not mention the phrase 'bottoms up' !!!!!!!!! ;-) :-D

We do not mind what standard of food it is -' tha knows' ;-)

It is ALL gorgeous when it is cooked and delivered with love ! <3 <3 <3

Glad to have you back !

the downside was .......................


the car broke down on the way there on Saturday

on a great long 6% grade road up to the summit of one of the mountain passes

the clutch went

we had to be towed about 40 km to the nearest dealer

fortunately, that turned out to be in the town where we were going


One clutch and one "slave cylinder" (????) later ...................... we got a beautifully washed car back


and paid a pretty large bill :-(

we enjoyed our conference, lots of our good friends were there .............. but, boy, was it busy and tiring.

First talk was at 8 am in the morning, and the last usually around 5 or 5:30 pm. Then evening events.


Monday was a day off ................... all botanists have to go on field trips to look at the plants, so that was where most oft hem went ................. bottoms up in fields and forest, looking at plants :-D

Excellent buffet on Sunday night

excellent bbq on Monday night

and great banquet on Wednesday

Sorry about breakfast this morning



but I think Persie does such a good job ..........


.......... you're not going to get the same standard of food, tha knows!

I HATE watermelon with a vengeance Cynths but I did buy a lovely pineapple the other day and am just about to go and finish the last bit orff !!

Thank you dear Gins...............but notalot!!! I'm pretty sure there are some on here who could win an Olympic Gold for nattering.......mentioning no names of course!!!


My word, it's been warm today hasn't it? Wipes sweat from brow.......we have got the fan going for the first time this year I think.

I'm hooked on watermelon at the moment - I love the texture and it's SO refreshing straight from the fridge. :-D


Going for a browse~~~

I was just looking at the number of posts on this thread and thought......someone must jibber a LOT and then..........

...............I thought of Cyns ;-)

That sounds good Ginns - Just what you need !!! <3

Dea Xxx

Ey Up~~~~

Just got back from work and visiting J on the way home

Have the Friday gang tonight, curry, delivery........... so I don't have to cook

Just giving Fred a nudge he was wandering around an page 2 :-)

Had Dr appointment this morning nothing major.

Only housework I have done is a washing off back outside to enjoy the sun while it lasts :-D

Good morning from me too :-D


Thank you for coming to the rescue Persie...........I think Jonesey's corn scramble is my choice too.......it's the bacon that does it!


I rather like the smell of burned toast.......I did once read that, if you were running late in preparing a meal but didn't want others to know, then start frying an onion, it makes everyone think that the food is imminent!! :-D


Another beautiful day........ :-)

Good morning all :-)

Thank goodness I found a bit of bacon in there ! ;-) :-D

I will have Jonesey's corn scramble with bacon and mushrooms please - Thank you both <3

Wonder what our Sylvs is up to ??? - Hope she had a good time !
