I'm on holiday!

The lovely Alina Jenkins will be keeping the studio chair warm for me for two weeks as I am on annual leave.
We are moving in just over a week and there is a LOT of packing to do! So yesterday, instead of that I
went and found myself a new car! Remember last year I put the deposit down on a Golf and it somehow
got sold to somebody else overnight, well now I am happy that it did because I found a beautiful shiny black one
which should hopefully come to live at our new house in a few days. Lots of people say that they need a car to
get from A to B but I adore cars, and the moment the salesman said 'take her for a drive', I knew I would be seduced!

We are loving the good weather, and it felt like we were in the South of France whilst we were having lunch today on
Langstone Harbour with some friends.
Happy Days! See you on Monday 15th!

So, how would you reform Parliament?

was what we asked today - and if you have any further ideas do post them on to Facebook? It seems there needs to be some sort of shake-up to regain trust in the voters and with the European Elections coming up do you think it needs to be a drastic change so that voters turn up at the polling booths on the 4th of June?

Mr M has just called me from Heathrow he has landed! Hoorah - really looking forward to seeing him!

Weekend weather

seems set fair so I am looking forward to wandering onto the beach with my grand daughter to throw skimming stones into the sea. India seems to have a great over- arm action already going on, just as long as you duck as she swings around! She has started her new nursery this week so I am looking forward to hearing all about her new pals and who has done what - which normally comes out in a huge sentence which includes exactly what she had to eat on what day! Reminds me of when I was at school and apparently I would tell my mum that I had pink custard and shortbread every single day!
I am missing Mr M big time and looking forward to him coming home next week from Australia. I shall do a big housework as well this weekend and some more clearing out ready for our move, finding no doubt some other little treasure I can't do without - but I shall be ruthless!

At least you got it off your chests!

What made you angry? Well all sorts of things, spitting, swearing, queueing, rustling sweet wrappers, roundabouts and so on and so on. We did this on the show today because Britain has come top in a poll in Europe about how many times we get angry a day. It's 4 apparently here, so if today has only seen you have an outburst twice, guess what, you have two more opportunities when you get home!
Mr M is still in Aus and is taking his tent onto the coast for a few days - jealous moi?! I am missing him!!!

Remember what it is to cook....?

Well frankly no, because I have been spoiled rotten with Mr M's cuisine. So now that he is back in Australia for a couple of weeks it's back to the drawing board, or rather recipe book. I am determined to amaze and astound him with my culinary skill on his return, so I will stick my pinny on and toss round a few capers and peppercorns!
I am delighted to tell you that my hosue has sold in three days! In times of people grumbling about estate agents I have to say I am pretty impressed. So fingers crossed it should go through in the next few weeks.
I am going to start the big clear out again, ready for our move to Romsey. I know I did it recently but there is always a pair of trousers and a casserole dish that have seen better days and a spring clean makes you feel great!
Stayed at my daughter and grand daughters this weekend and Min has just called to say thanks Mum Indie now has your cold - well, I am the caring, sharing type.

Summer breeze

has blown
in and brought me a cold too so I have a very attractive red nose and everyone around me when I sneeze looks aghast and asks me if I have travelled to Mexico recently.

Had a wonderful weekend with my grand daughter. Mr M and I decided that we should let her stay up until she was tired so that she then slept well through the night. First night 9.45 and she then nodded off. Next night I was nodding off and she was full of the joys of spring at midnight! My daughter said that she slept all the way home and had an early night! We did finger painting, and cutting out, and went on the train at the Royal Hampshire Country Park - I think that is more for my enjoyment than hers! I love miniature railways and I can remember when my daughter was little I was forever taking her to our local park that ran one and now history is repeating itself in a good way!

An epic!

Mr M and I decided last night to watch a DVD - glass of wine, nice meal (cooked by him of course) - perfect! I had this film on the shelf and had not watched it - and it was brilliant! Gone with the Wind - I have started calling Mr M Rhett as he was insistent that when I was younger I looked like Scarlett -mmmm I wish ! I am practicing saying 'tomorrow is another day' with a winsome look!

My grand daughter India is coming to stay with us for the weekend - it is my daughter's partner Zac's birthday so they are having a weekend out and about. I have bought a huge bag of finger paints, colouring books and puzzles - so that's Mr M sorted - what about India and me hahahahahaha

Looking forward to speaking tonight at Romsey Rotary's 60th Anniversary dinner - posh frock and tiara and all that!!!
