Blogtober - Post 26! 🐶 🌳 🍒 🍂

-

    After an illness-forced delay, my niece and her two humans came for a short visit today! 🐶 🐕

    She was of course very excited to see us, a little too excited perhaps, but she soon settled down after the obligatory Digestive Biscuit! They brought Raspberry Ring Doughnuts with them and unusually they also had jam in, so they were extra yummy! And, as there is an odd number of us, there were 3 left over for our 7:30pm cup of tea/coffee! 

    It was a delayed birthday celebration and her Mummy seemed to like her presents very much - thankfully!

    When they were leaving I was struck by the number of berries and fruit we have out the front, all of it shining in the sun.







Are these CrabApples?

Pretty ain't they?👋😁 

This will probably be dated wrong! Not my fault!!

      They're like little baubles aren't they?

    It's hard to tell if they're crab apples from here but don't eat them just in case! I know you can eat them in jelly but I don't think you're supposed to if they're not cooked. So many berries in your photos!

      It seems to be a good year here for berries, but our apple tree didn't do too well. Probably the drought.

Blotober - Post 2!

    You would think that with it being a Sunday, I would have had plenty of opportunities to post my intended Blogtober post. But no. I haven't even touched a computer today until now because there always seemed to be something else to do! And I don't suppose any of it was particularly important. Ever have days like that?     So instead of that post I'm going to do a Sunday Waffle. A quick ramble about the day and anything else that pops into the noggin as I type. Minus the swear words. Probably.       It was pretty grim when I got up, it looked like it had rained🌧️ all night, but the sun soon came out☀️ and it was bright till about early afternoon when the clouds started gathering. Somewhere across the road someone had lit a garden fire, smoke blowing up the road so at least this time we didn't get the stink of it.🔥     We did have a fab dinner at lunch time! Rib Bones in a sticky Chinese sauce served with mash, peas and carrots. Golly it was yummers!!😋 😋I haven

     Hello! I'd like to start by asking a few questions to those of you who have been using silicon-handled hooks longer than I have.     In the last few days I have notice that the hook I'm using most has developed a weird ickieness to the handle. It's not sticky or rough, just not right. My others don't feel like this. I even washed it the other day and if anything it made it slightly worse.      Could this be a reaction to the hand-cream I use in the evening to lessen the roughness of my fingers? Is there a way of fixing the issue, and is there a best way of storing and caring for this style of hook? Comments and solutions would be most appreciated.😀     I finished reading "The Tears Of The Salamander" Monday night, and tonight I will start reading something else. I'm just not sure what yet, it may end up a point and grab situation. Whatever it is I probably won't have read it before and I'll let you know what I choose.      Yesterday I mentio
