    Played Skip Bo in the shade, two out of three, I won today! :yay: Came in for a break, tea and biscuit. Will go back out at 5ish and have a Rum & Coke, T'other Half a beer, and play Backgammon whilst admiring the garden. :smile:

          We won't be shopping in ASDA again. There is 'something' missing in their own brand products when compared to those of Morrisons. Look at this gourmet delight:

                Just watched Portugal lose to Germany. :sad: I don't like football ... and neither does T'other Half, one of the reasons I married him! However, we have followed Portugal since we moved here and support them (and I am a fan of Christiano and Luis Figo before him ... have named my Fig Bonsai after him). I have a 56 year connection with Germany so always watch their matches. I like Spain too. Any ole how, we'll see how we go next with France. :fingers crossed:

                      I did have a choice ... a guy three times my age who was a millionaire or a guy younger than me who was penniless.

                          Seems that I've strained my stomach muscles yesterday when doing the 3 containers. I've got a slight prolapsed bladder and now it hurts to go to the toilet but feels a bit better today.

                              That sounds very unpleasant and uncomfortable Logan! Hope it clears up soon. Rest! :grphg:
