No tumble drier .........how very common

[Mervyn and Trish]

New fridge comes tomorrow. What's next? The freezer or the cooker?

I take it one doesn't have a Tumbler Dryer ....

One does. That has long been covered by a service plan. It's only the stuff I have to pay for that breaks. And the fridge is only 22 years old.

It's a bloomin scorcher today. I might not bother lighting the log burner tonight.

[Jan Rosser]

Grrrrr just finished cleaning gooseberries - what a potch now using several spoonfuls of sugar to sweeten and adding crumble mix - hope it's appreciated

Love crisp hard ' Carlos ' type gooseberrys but cannot stand any of the cooked ones, Steven can have my slice

Not a favourite of mine but friend has them in her garden and they don't like them either - I've chopped up an apple to give a bit of "crunch" - smells lovely anyway

[Stephen]

I hope your having custard with it Jan or I'm not coming round

How was the pudding.

[Manoverboard]

Delish ....we had Eton Mess with fresh English Strawberries, thanks for asking

[Mervyn and Trish]

We had a nice cherry bakewell from Iceland.

[Jan Rosser]

How was the pudding.

Delish - still a bit "tart" but confession time I had my very small portion (mother and neighbour ate the rest!!!) with ice cream - good job you didn't come around Stephen . Mind you I suffered later - my tolerance to pastry especially home made with butter is very low and I had to take a gaviscon tablet

[Stephen]

WHAT no custard

[Stephen]

BBC weather for now. Light rain and a gentle breeze.

It's just been chucking it down

[Stephen]

Just been for a lovely coastal drive via the narrowest of lanes to take in Mobietta's favourite highspot view of Dorset's Chesil Beach ... can't say where it is or all the Grockles will turn up and spoil it
