I prefer sepia or b&w.<BR/><BR/>You will certainly be welcome to some Bramley (and other) fallings (we never get round to picking apples).<BR/><BR/>I think there has been a misunderstanding re Bullfinches. We haven’t had any for some 15 years (when we removed the blackcurrant bush). I am hoping the new planting of red and blackcurrants will attract them back. I agree Jill about their attractiveness (although I still like chaffinches).<BR/><BR/>I cleaned a car once; it was brand new (week old) Beetle. That was it.<BR/><BR/>You should have saved your 'under cooked' fish for me.<BR/><BR/>I don’t know what Office 2003 is! I just work in Word and, very occasionally, Excel. <BR/><BR/>The Aldi prints sound excellent value, and the books. <BR/><BR/>I think Lord Mayors only occur in cities. And Mayors, I believe, used to be only found in boroughs (a bit like rabbits). Certainly Mansfield lost their Mayor when they decided to give up Borough status. But then, somehow, they brought him back as a sort of figurehead! So as the only Lord Mayor in Notts is the Nottm one, I am sure as I can be that your Bob Charlesworth is a Mayor.<BR/><BR/>Glad the cursor returned home.<BR/><BR/>Anything before 6.00 am is off my radar.<BR/>I forgot to set alarm or open the bedroom window so I slept till after 10.00. But one blackbird was at it until midday, occasionally joined by others.<BR/> <BR/>Jill:<BR/>Correction to the bullfinch story above.<BR/><BR/>Sorry the cruise was something of a disappointment. But at least you didn’t catch listeria or dysentery! <BR/><BR/>“All husbands are alike but they have different faces so you can tell them apart,” Anon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-32648571998944578722008-05-03T23:50:00.000+01:002008-05-03T23:50:00.000+01:00We are indeed back - did you miss me?

I have read through the blog and skipped through the comments - will just say that we have a lot of honesty too, no white, just purple but we have some that is purple and white striped.<BR/><BR/>Bungus, you are lucky to hve bullfinches in your garden, even if they do do some damage, we used to have them around here but tey moved out about five years ago, I think their colouring is beautiful, esp. the female in her subtle greys. We do seem to have song thrushes back though. Lots of tits about, but none in our nest box.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I like the blue photo - it looks as if it ought to be on a plate, like willow pattern.<BR/><BR/>The cruise, we did not enjoy it as much as we have others. Possibly because we are old and pernickety, and we remember cruising when it was different, the emphasis being on service, not how fast the internet connection is and how vast the ship. We found it a hassle getting dressed up every night (DJ for R most nights, if not a suit). We felt that they were cutting back all the time, far less staff and charging for what always used to be free (like bottled water in cabin). No longer serving proper breakfast/afternoon tea in cabin, we used to enjoy that, had it on balcony if weather was good. R felt the live entertainment was poor, one act a night instead of the usual 3, and I was disappointed not to have a cinema, they showed a film a night through tv in cabin, but that's not the same.....<BR/><BR/>On the credit side the food was excellent, esp. the huge buffet at breakfast and lunch, we had a good cabin with sitting area (sofa and coffee table) fridge, flat-screen tv, lovely 6 ft. bed,and good-sized balcony with chairs and table. The weather was v/good, warm/hot sunny every day. I'll add a bit tomorrow about where we went to......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
