I would also like to know how she ever gets to her house, wherever that is, as Bungus is adamant that it is always four or five miles away. The poor woman must get very frustrated never actually being able to get home.<BR/><BR/>Bungus, what an excellent film to choose as your first ever DVD. I love the film, the music, the use of colour by Wenders etc etc. Wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Italy deserved to lose. I thought they were very poor but was also disappointed the Spanish didn't go for it a bit more. They seemed very nervous and I wonder if that could prevent them reaching the final? Of course, the quality of the Russian's football could have a bearing on the game.<BR/><BR/>Pissaro seems to have much more colour on his rainy days than we do. <BR/><BR/><I>Grey and dull weather<BR/>Typical British summer<BR/>Pissaro'd all day</I><BR/><BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-66864228157082315082008-06-22T23:42:00.000+01:002008-06-22T23:42:00.000+01:00I meant to say that I think you have made the righ...I meant to say that I think you have made the right decision over the house - you can now sit back and enjoy the garden and your neighbours for a while, without having to feel that it must all be kept pristine for buyers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-80356514361247329662008-06-22T23:39:00.000+01:002008-06-22T23:39:00.000+01:00Are your discs of potato the ones that Delia was u...Are your discs of potato the ones that Delia was using? I have only used them as a thickener for stews and soups.<BR/><BR/>I think I am already on google-mail, will check later, and see wnat difference that makes....I don't use it except to e-mail pictures.<BR/><BR/>Whose birthday was it? Yours? If so, Happy Birthday! I love sweet peas, I have tried growing them, but have never been very successful. Mt grandfather used to win prizes locally for his - when I had Fi he picked every single one and sent them to me wrapped in damp cotton wool and oil-skin in hospital - she was called after his mother so he was very pleased. This was in the days when you could depend on the post ariving the following day.<BR/><BR/>The film was enjoyable, if slightly overlong....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23282643.post-6311018559644263782008-06-22T23:37:00.000+01:002008-06-22T23:37:00.000+01:00Surprised that you say it was not warm today.

Having seen the ferocity of the wind (50mph?) from indoors, I was surprised at how pleasant it was outside, temperature wise. <BR/>It reminded me of the ghibli (N African name for sirocco) without sand. <BR/><BR/>Talking of potatoes, I tried some Jersey Royals last week. Certainly not inferior to Maris Peer, but not so nice as Charlotte, was the result of the opinion poll.<BR/><BR/>I meant to say that we also have wheat and less common grasses growing around the bird table.<BR/><BR/>Well done for avoiding the ant killer. If you had gone ahead and then lost your appetite and just fed it to Yvonne, who would have believed you (except me)?<BR/><BR/>I was not disputing that it was sunset; merely commenting, in non-critical fashion, that the photo showed little evidence of it.<BR/><BR/>I think you are wise to take the house off the market until things settle down. At least you won't be thinking about it all the time.<BR/><BR/>My reason for considering seeking solace in opium was because, like morphine, it comes from the poppy, as, I believe, does heroin, which is the reason for trying to control cultivation and marketing.<BR/>But I haven’t checked.<BR/><BR/>Jill:<BR/>Pleased you were able to suppress giggles in front of Bill’s mother. I am sure our northern sayings would fall on bemused ears down south. You bridge the gap most effectively.<BR/>Like RG, I thinks a switch to Googlmail would be beneficial.<BR/><BR/>Today I watched my first ever DVD; ‘The Buena Vista Social Club’ directed by Wim Wenders (sounds like a rambling group) and featuring Ry Cooder, who produced it.<BR/><BR/>At last the right team has won a quarter final. <BR/>After the game had been stifled by Italy for most of the match, including extra time, the shoot-out, for once, gave a fair result. Odd that Spain should have lost on penalties twice, in major competitions, on this very date.<BR/><BR/>Chic Murrayism:<BR/>“The boat was so old; it must have been launched when Long John Silver had two legs and an egg on his shoulder.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
