Well, when I left home for the bus it was quite dull and chilly but the fog had lifted. I wore my light wet weather jacket. We met up by the museum after three of us had had coffee in my favourite Italian cafe there, two of the other three had coffees in the museum. the canal boat trip was exactly an hour and was very interesting as it actually goes down the part of the canal that we (Tony and I or me on my own with daughter etc) have never walked. It was interesting to see the many canal side flats and houses that have been built. The boat is not that big, It was one of the little boats at Dunkirk then it became a ferry boat in Devon at several different places before coming to Gloucester in the 90s. It was very full, it being school holidays and there were a lot of children of varying ages who were all very good, quite quiet, listening to the commentary and not running around. Except for one little girls, about 6 or maybe 7 who was up and down the stairs either end with, I think it was grandma in tow. talk about hyperactive. But it did occur to me that My Great granddaughter would have been exactly the same if she was allowed. (Which if with us (daughter or me) she would not be.) |

Pond man left here about 2.15pm and I am all sorted with a new pump and he got the pump on the scimmer working so I don't have to buy a new pump for that as I don't have it on much only now and then and never over night. |

The little quiches weren't bad at all so the rest of this morning's batch is now in the freezer and I'll make another batch to go with them for Sunday. |

No need to feel bad Mandy. I found a recipe that said the little quiches would freeze well so I've had an experiment this morning. I used non-stick muffin tins, coated them with a smear of oil and then let the quiches cool right down in the tins and they turned out beautifully. I made a dozen with chopped up ham, cheese and some mixed herbs. We'll try a couple with our lunch and if they are OK I'll put the rest in the freezer and make some more another day. My only problem was the recipe came from NZ and the cheese and ham were measured in cups. I had no idea if they were the same as UK cups, US cups or something different so the quantities were guesswork. I wish all recipes could be done in grams. |

Good morning all. foggy out there and 13 degrees. I hope it is going to brighten up as we are going for a trip up the canal later this morning and it would be no good if foggy still. |

Lovely to see you Frank. Yes, we have all aged a bit and acquired a few more aches and pains but we're still here. Pop in from time to time if you can; it's always good to hear from you. |

Well. it rained....... And we walked through it. six of us. Luckily it was not cold but my jeans were very wet by the time we got to the little cafe in the village, having meandered through lanes and alleyways I didn't know existed.. We sat with coffees for a good 40 minutes chatting and then walked back a quicker route. |

Good morning all, drizzle this morning and 13 degrees so far. supposed to be meeting at 10am for an 'amble' around the village so hoping the drizzle at least stops for an hour or so. It is not supposed to rain solidly all day but who knows? We shall see. |
