Stirring The Spoon

What a day I have had!
Someone was stirring the spoon in a vat of warm mud,
Causing hot air and bubbles....
Meanwhile, I got to finish the other Birthday card.
Plus made a lovely batch of mocha cupcakes.
If you don't mind, I am now off to taste test one!

I'm In The Mood For...

We have a very short season of Asparagus here in the UK.
I read a great recipe using asparagus in the last few days..
Do you think I can find it?
Even looked in the recycle bin for the past couple of day's papers
I know I have 2 out of 3 ingredients..
However I did find another recipe for tonight...
After getting all the nice ingredients for the nice meal tonight.
I really do hope my hubby like asparagus.....

Snail Time

It's Monday again....
The sun is out but..
The temperature had dropped,  the leggings came back on....
Nearly late for my first job, as one of my son's was trying to be a snail.
Nearly late for my coffee and chat at Webb's
Then nearly late for my second job too.
As the afternoon warmed up,the leggings came off, and the sunglasses came on.
At least I wasn't late for the second shift of my first job!

Look What I Found!!

Whoo hoo Sunday once again.
Time to make the most of the lovely sunshine.
We went back to exploring more churches.
I discovered a grave covered up with nettles.
We cleaned away the nettles to reveal a U.S Serviceman.
While looking around we found something in the next field.

It's Good To Talk!

I have only had 2 jobs today.
I set out to enjoy my day no matter what!

It's good to talk...and laugh!

CSI Droitwich

I visited Droitwich Library on World Book Day,
To listen to a talk by a retired CSI Officer called Gerry.
We had free coffee and free homemade biscuits.
It was so interesting to hear about all the cases Gerry had been involved in.
Some solved & some not.
I could have sat there all night and listened to his stories.
At the end of the evening we all had a free book of Lynda La Plant & "Prime Suspect"

Play Time!

The time is 2am
I have had enough painkillers to numb everyone's else pain apart from mine!
I had two options:
Go downstairs play on the Internet or
Play with husband.
Husband won.
Wore out husband.
He is fast asleep.
I am still racked with a painful mouth & ear.
Still can't sleep.... 
Now for a play with the Internet...

Smiling Through Gritted Teeth.

The sun is out.
So is my sun glasses, sun cream and floppy sun hat.
Been suffering from pain in mouth today.
Plenty of swilling of salt water, pain killers, and Dental Gel.
I yet another visit to Dentist tomorrow.....
I fear this pain is going to last a good 4 months due to the waiting list at the Dental Hospital.
Due to all this yogurt I am eating
I might be minus a few chins....

Making The Most Off.....

It's Saturday once more.
Making the most of no work and the sunshine.
I had to book another trip to the Dentist for Tuesday.
As in agony from where I had the fillings put in last Tuesday ;/
Had my hair trimmed at the Hairdressers.(That didn't hurt!)
We looked around the charity shops in Droitwich.
I bought something where I can hide my goodies,
hopefully no one will look in it!

Kissing The Daffodil!

I have had a busy day.
Done 3 jobs, and all done with a very painful mouth!
The weather has been kind, sunshine all day.

By the time I had unpacked the shopping,
My youngest son had re-potted them into bigger plant pots.

No Coconut This Time!

I had another trip to the Dentist.
This time it was to see the Hygienist
Tried her best to give my teeth a good clean...
Still in constant pain with the wisdom teeth.
Going to the hairdressers for the first time in five years on Saturday.
I am growing my hair under protest.(To please my dad)
I really do miss my number 1 coconut haircut, especially in this heat!

Time For The Big Sunglasses To Come Out!

I have been enjoying a lovely sunny day.
Sun hat, sun glasses, and lots of sun cream!
I looked around the graveyard.
Before I started my second job.
My mouth is still sore.
At least my name is down on the waiting list
To get my troublesome wisdom tooth removed.
4 months of pain....to go...

My Swollen Body Part

The sun was out nice and early this morning.
I was sat in the Dentist's chair by 10am.
Injections, drill and fillings.
It feels like I have been punched hard in the mouth.
Left hand side I have wisdom tooth problem
The right hand side is swollen.
The only thing I will be eating this afternoon is
Yogurt!

Have A Bit Of That!

It was back to school for my kids & back to work for me.
Having only one job today helped me to ease back on the working wheel.
I had time to enjoy a take away M&S coffee, read my favourite newspaper
in my favourite place....The Library
It was nice to relax
No chance of that tomorrow.
Got a nice visit to the DENTIST!

As a strong gust of wind, and they will turn into kites!
Our front garden is looking nice.
Sandwiches done for school tomorrow.
 It's the start running on work wheel again tomorrow!

Licking The Tin

I have been fighting this flu with a smile and a sigh.
 Nearly a week stuck at home with it.
I was sat in the garden, directing  orders to my hubby this morning.
I needed to do something ...
So out came Kenny the Kenwood and a Mary Berry Cookbook.
The end result:
Butterscotch Cake

I have been sniffing bowls of hot water with Vapour Rub added.
To help this flu move on.

A trip down to the local household tip with garden waste.
Next his lovely orange toy came out to play ......

Saying It With Flowers

I spent the early hours unable to sleep.
So I caught up on loads of television programmes.
Series 3 of Bake Off, I love 1971 etc.
Hubby surprised me with flowers!
Sad news a great favourite from The Dukes Of Hazzard has died.
James Best played the Sheriff in the TV Series.
