From the mouths of Babes

Can you remember those silly playground arguments...My dad is bigger than your dad etc.Well it says something about the health of the country in Modern Britain today when I was returning from the park with the girls and we passed a group of small boys squabbling as they do. At this point the classic line was heard Well MY Mum is Fatter than Your Mum.
I was quietly laughing to myself all the way home. But then I realised later that maybe that it was not so funny. The media and Govt. keep banging on at us about how much more obese the nation is today, the importance of diet and exercise blah blah blah.To be fair I generally ignore them as luckily am naturally slim. The problem is that people do not care anymore. A group of small boys consider it quite normal and are even quite proud of the fact that "my mum is fatter than your mum"

Toms

OK they are only young tomatoes, but they are on the weakest of the 3 plants and the only plant outside the Greenhouse. The other two are not showing any as yet, but plenty of flowering so fingers crossed. One must also bear in mind that for the past 3 years I have tried in vain to grow tomatoes but to no avail, so things are looking good. Maybe it is the change of location, the last garden was full of Japanese Knotweed, and blight seemed to hit quite regularly.

So far so good and am quite chuffed really.

Home Made Pasta

Just made my first attempt at pasta. The hardest bit was working out how to dry the stuff out.

Improvisation came into play.

The result...

Impressed even myself, not bad for 5 Oz of flour, 1 egg, a drop of water and some patience. Tasted lovely, even Grace finished her plate. Cannot wait to try it out on Karen. I have even saved some for dry storage, but that takes 3 more hours of drying apparently. That is if I can stop myself from eating it first that is.

Red Sky in the Morning Shepherds Warning?

On waking this morning I felt great. Karen had been shopping at the weekend and bought new orthopedic pillows to replace the tired old things that we had. Who would have thought that they would have made that much of a difference. A really good nights sleep was needed and boy did I get a good night.

Orthopedic Pillows – Memory Foam

The newer orthopedic pillows are made with memory foam, which takes the form of the body that lies on it, so it adjusts to the body shape, size, and position. You will mostly find rectangular orthopedic pillows although they can be found in wedge and contoured shapes.

Now when I got up they Sky was a beautiful red sky, a lovely photo should have been taken but I did not even think to pick up the camera as was too busy admiring the view. It does not matter what the old proverb says about red sky in the morning as today it was just beautiful and much appreciated.
