OOO Daisy I have just watched a video how to make Matrimonial cake it looks delicious right up my street , I will be giving that a go

I may have put a recipe for it in the Recipes section some time ago. If I haven't I'll add it - it's very easy. I'd forgotten you said you'd covered the headboard with denim! D'oh.

Clover - I'm glad you are getting out a bit, but your bus service sounds about as good as ours. We've at least got the train as well. I'm glad you got the shopping you wanted. xx

Like Gem, I've got a friend who wears a lot of jewellery - all good stuff and really beautiful. Years ago she used to keep most of it in the bank and just get it out when she wanted to wear it, but now I think she's got a safe at home. I feel dressed to the nines if I wear my wedding ring!

We managed to get the lawn cut this afternoon as rain is forecast for the next few days, and I washed all the bedding from the guest bedroom, including the valance, the mattress protector, the duvet - everything. It all dried, too. I've now got a pile of ironing waiting for me. After dinner I took Eva out for a walk - it was a lovely evening and quite warm. Came home and portioned up some food for her and am now ready for my bed. Night night everyone.

We had late sun too.

Car passed MOT, it was the first one as it is only 3 years old. I am taking GS3 out to lunch tomorrow, I could do with a morning in the garden. Friday we have to get ready for the wedding on Sat.

Oma I am very impressed with the room, you are so good at designing a room.

Well done Clover, making a trip out. Our local town has so many shops closed, I only go into M&S.

I must look up Matrimonial cake Daisy

[Nanto2girls]

Sun is just peeping through.

Hairdresser coming at 9.30.
Then we are going to visit DS2 and his partner. It's his birthday tomorrow.
Going to take his presents,as they are going to Lincoln for a few days tomorrow.
Thats our morning taken care of.

Plant,pleased the car passed.Enjoy your lunch with GS3.

Daisy, i want to give the matrimonial cake a go as well.
Will have a look for your recipe, i'm sure you posted it in recipes some time ago.
I wonder how it got the name matrimonial.

[Plantaholic]

Lunch with GS3 cancelled today, he forgot he had an appt for his vaccine jab, silly boy. I will change it for tomorrow. things I was going to do tomorrow will have to be done today.

Love the tea cup flower arrangements Nanto. We have some sun, hope it lasts.

[Gemini]

Good morning everyone.

Busy morning for you Nan2. It's so nice to be able to visit family and friends more freely isn't it?
Daisy I think I remember the Matrimonial cake recipe.
Ironing is the downside of getting the washing done !
Plant, you expect new car to pass it's first MOT, but you can never be sure, so good that it did. How is the cystitis?
No plans today. Golf for OH. The day is my own

Have a good one ladies

[Daisy]

Good morning one and all. It's sunny here, but due to rain later, so I'll get some odds and ends of washing done - just to add to the pile of ironing!

Nanto - Lilies of the valley are one of my favourite flowers - so pretty and beautiful scent. I hope you DS enjoys his few days away.

Plant - good to hear that GS3 is getting his jab, but a pity you've had to rearrange your jobs. I hope he doesn't have any after-effects from it. Is everything ready for the big day on Saturday?

Gem - it's a long time since you had a free day, isn't it? I hope you are able to cancel that dentist appointment for tomorrow because you're feeling ok. Enjoy whatever you plan to do - get on with reading Middlemarch?

I'm going to give our guest bedroom a jolly good clean today ready for our visitors on Saturday, hoe the front garden to keep the weeds down and I mustn't forget to do the Sainsbury's order for tomorrow.

I'll check for the Matrimonial cake recipe now.

Daisy the gum is slightly aching, which is a sign that Dry Socket is probably setting in. It was fine yesterday. Pain getting worse when there was little or none is one of the signs. So I suspect I will be keeping tomorrows appointment
I had just finished reading American Dirt which was very good but tense and had me worried the whole time. Therefore I want something a little easier next! Middlemarch is on my Kindle though to start after I finish the one I began this morning.

[Daisy]

Gem - yes, definitely hang on to that appointment, although I still hope you don't need it. You did well to finish a book that was making you feel anxious. I've just read the outline of the story and I know I couldn't read it, it sounds far too painful. Enjoy something frivolous.

[Oma]

Morning ladies ,
Plant shame about lunch but its for a good cause and there is always tomorrow
Hope your feeling better today xx

Gem yes keep the appointment best to have it checked just in case , By the way I got that Hand wash I liked

Daisy a busy day but if you get it done today you don't have to rush around tomorrow

Nanto hope DS2 has a nice break away and enjoys his Birthday , how old will he be ?

Been to Morrisons and Aldi this morning then popped into Matalan , waste of time they had nothing I liked

Feel tired today , got a few things to iron they will take 5 minutes then I don't think I will be doing much after that.

I didnt buy any cut flowers today the first time in ages but I still have lots from my Birthday still going strong ,
I will wait till they droop before I buy anymore ,

[Daisy]

Oma - I've felt tired today as well, and haven't got done as much as I hoped!

The Matrimonial Cake recipe is in the Recipes section

Gem - how it your mouth now?

Plant - did you get tomorrow' jobs done today?

Nanto - are you pleased with your hair?

[Plantaholic]

Yes Daisy, I am feeling very tired, I cut back the over vigorous rose this morning, went shopping for a few bits, I am making blinis with soured cream and smoked salmon for Sat. Then I finished off clearing the moss from the courtyard and gave it a sweep. It is quite large. I didn’t go to bowls as there isn’t a toilet available on the outside mats. I felt just as poorly today about an hour after I take the antibiotic, it lasts around an hour, I just feel generally unwell.

Gemini, I do hope you are not going to have a dry socket again, so pleased you have that appointment.

Sorry, if you don’t like tennis, I am enjoying it very much.

[Nanto2girls]

Oma, DS will be 49 tomorrow.

Daisy, i am pleased with the haircut.

Plant,busy morning gardening for you.

Gem, good idea to keep tomorrows dental appointment.

We had a lovely 2½ hours with DS and his partner this morning.
It was nice to be at someone else's house for a change.

[Gemini]

Nan2, it is nice to be in someone else's house!
Plant even though the Drs say you have had these antibiotics before, that doesn't mean they are suiting you now. It doesn't seem right to me. They should try some others for you .

My gum has been very painful all day. I will be so glad to get to the dentist tomorrow afternoon. Once you have dry socket you are very likely to have it again. It's rare so I'm unlucky to be one of those affected.

Rest up all you tired people!!

[Daisy]

Gem - I hope you're not in agony with the dry socket tonight. xx

Nanto - I'm sure your DS and his partner enjoyed having you as visitors as well. It works both ways.

Plant - Gem could be right about the ABs not suiting you this time. If you're no better tomorrow will you ring the doctor again to see what they say. You've got a busy week-end coming up, and it sounds as though you've done a lot today as well. Sleep well - I hope you feel better in the morning.

I managed to get some of the ironing done this evening when it was a bit cooler - I'd better get on with it first thing tomorrow before it gets too hot. I've got to be up early for the Sainsbury's delivery.

Oma - did you have a quiet day in the end?

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning. No sun out yet,but its bright.

Not much happening for us today.
Will just go with the flow when i get back from in laws.

Gem, hope the dentist can sort you out.
