Sorry Ed to post here, its naughty I know but I can't think of another way to do it. I love the new skin on the orangedog forum, but I can't get past the first page and that took 3 attempts to load. I tried the memberlist or click on a name link to people's email but can't open them either
If I don't tell you, you will think that you have been deserted....

Well it's been a scorcher here today although very windy .What a waste of journey into town that was .
I did have a bag of chips though so it wasn't all wasted time but Marks are hopeless. It's such a little shop and crammed to the gunnels with everything but the right size ! And as for their handbag selection ...Abysmal :)
One fleece jacket in the whole shop size 10,grotty colour and no long trousers in my size either and not a V necked T shirt to be seen in colours i wanted only these insipid pale pink and washed out grey colours .Total crip ..
There are two empty prime retail sites in Yarmouth with acres of floor space that they could move to but no ,they insist on soldiering on this miiscule shop which has been there since the year dot .
Lovely pictures Pamilar,sounds like you had a good time and the one of Skye is lovely too Robinia .
Goodness me Woofy :) And I think I've got craft junk in six A4 boxes ..hahaa.Love the Teddies .
These scarves are very nice Kit ,but very expensive .
.I buy pashminas on the market ...two for a tenner . I'm easily pleased :)
I bought a really nice one in Norwich last year and wore it to death in the cold weather .
Well I'm off to watch whispering Dan waving his arms about shortly .Have a nice evening all .
Pip Pip for now .

Mousey the cat is on our roof and shouting, so we are not sure if she can get down, but will wait and see. Mr N does not feel inclined to get the ladder out right now, so I went round the side of the house banging a sppon on a dish cos that means cream, and a grasshopper jumped off the washing line straight onto me,which sent me screaming and ripping off nightie t-shirt into the house where Mr N looked at me in horror (the neighbours didn't seem to mind!) meanwhile cat is still shouting on the roof!!!!
Perhaps Gordon is up there? Or did a gruesome fate befall Gordon the details of which we were spared?

Thanks Lottie ever so much.
I have copied that recipe and I'm really going to have a go. I shall have to do it as per the recipe and freeze it or cut down on the ingredients. It will make a change from the soup I buy. Sainsburys BGtoY Parsnip,Butternut Squash & Ginger, or Tomato & 3 bean. They really taste nice but it would be nice to have a change. I'll let you know when I've done it.
Sorry - for the unitiated BGtoY = Be Good to Yourself.

Kit , you can steal any of my foxes for free.
(That's a pun on steal/stole... I've just been to look it up, and 'steal' is Anglo-Saxon and probably similar to something Swedish, but a stole is from a Greek word meaning a garment.)
I'm only hiding in the dog kennel here with my etymological dictionary because there are trolls roaming about in dozens out there tonight.
Say, I went to St Biddy's on Thursday and was given something close to an all-clear, though I still need one final test result. So I had a whole 24 hours without a pending medical appointment!
Then another flaming crown fell out.

*howls at jude's avatar and howls with laughter at jno's last sentence* Sorry jno it's not funny at all - it's just the way you deliver it:) Good news about the rest of you though.
Mousey? You okay up there? Yeah she seems comfortable enough http://i35.tinypic.com/naskg.jpg (Was she looking for Ceiling Cat, I wonder;-) G'night folks.

morning all, the sign on the pinboard IIRC says fire exit...they were put up when the ship was in dry dock and we had loads of chinese workers on board.
The papers you can see are all 12 x 12 and a bit stiff for origami.
If you like pashminas, this is a great website
