    I'm continuing with the water or coke experiment, which surprisingly isn't becoming tedious - and as predicted, coke is winning hands down. It has also become clear that I have been gifted a talent; just as Jesus turned water into wine, I can change bacardi and coke into water! Process takes a wee while, and I wouldn't suggest that the end result is potable, but the principle is there :cool::snork:

      I seem to have spent a large part of the day walking, I walked my dogs, had lunch then went to visit my Son who hadn't walked his dogs yet so we both took them for a long walk around a local field. Then I came home and gave my own dogs another walk!!! No wonder I never put on any weight!! :doggieshmooze:

        Weve been for a walk down glamorgan canal today. She was delighted to catch some teeny fish feed some ducks catch some waterboatmen and loads of water snails!
        Saw the first proper big glistening dragon flies since i was a child. They were as majical as ever! A couple of mr men books and now a film

          Just watched The Sapphires on Lovefilm - not a bad wee film to be fair, and I am really hard to please when it comes to films.

            I'm now 'chillin' after two days of 'kiddie-squashing' oops - sorry 'sitting' ;). My brain feels as though it's been 'mushed' by the 'first three' Star Wars films, The Goonies and Spongebob Square Pants :rolleyespink:. The weather has been absolutely rotten so unable to get out into the fresh air with them - let the eldest out with his friends for a while, but felt quite claustrophobic with the 4yr old. Local play area isn't worth taking him to - full of nasty groups of young teens :mad:.

            Now got a Lemon Drizzle Cake in the oven for my shift in a Charity Shop tomorrow afternoon - the one that I made on Saturday evening was scavenged as soon as it was made :frown:.

            I've also got a bridesmaid's dress to alter and a Bridal Ring Pillow to make for Saturday for eldest son's wedding :thud: .............. might just go back to second son's house for the night :heehee:!

                Been busy here as well, am setting up a new filter for my fish tank, some pots arrived that had no drainage holes so I had to drill them out, also planning on where to put 2 new roses I have ordered (only small ones), in between taking dogs out TWICE, going shopping, :phew:

                  I've been at MIL's today playing at my old job (hi-fi engineer) and getting BIL's kit working properly for him; then it was home for a lovely bowl of homemade soup and poppy seed loaf - - three guesses what the soup was??

                        Sort of all three in some ways - it was tomato soup, and it was gorgeous; had onion, celery and carrot in it so I suppose it could class as vegetable too, and was followed up by a Bacardi or four :)
