How are you today?

Nice one Joseph!

I hope you enjoy making them, PrinceAlbert, let us know how they turn out. And I agree, I am sure Joseph will love using the spices; I see the boxes come with suggestions about how best to use them.

PS this is a black and white newsreel

How appropriate :biggrin: Great video, by the way. As you point out, the Sydney Habour Bridge and the Tyne Bridge look very similar. Ours was the first, though it was not, as some people imagine, that the Australians copied us. They were in fact designed and built by the same company (based in the north eat of England), and built around the same time, though the Newcastle one was completed first.

di you like the card.from a musem. it is a recsipy .why was the bag

[colinmackay]

So today I changed medication and got a lets-just-be-friends text. A strange combination. And I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. The reason for the confusion is that I think the change in medication has made me a lot more sprightly than I used to be so I'm not feeling as down as I think I should.

[COLOR="Purple"]THANK YOU joseph - I got the same card and such a lovely envelope with a lovely stamp on it. I dont know what the flower is on the stamp but it is PURPLE so my favorite

You wrote that it was my surprise and YES you really did surprise me. Did you have a good time at the museum? I just love going to museums and with all the cards/art you sent me it is like I have a museum in my home. Very nice of you to send me such a special card I put it next to a postcard from an older friends card from Japan.

Maybe I will make the recipe with my dad when he gets out of the hospital. I hope he gets out soon then I can try the Singin' hinnies with him... I wonder what the hinnies means?

I love you joseph. Thank you so much again [/COLOR]

Hinnies is a term of endearment used in Newcastle; It's like saying darlings... Did I get this information from the card itself? I'd not heard the word before.
I haven't tried making them yet, but I will, probably when Marsh is here. Thanks so much Joseph...
By the way the bag was from the French Post office services. Apparently the envelope got a bit torn and they wanted to show that they'd taken good care of my mail, so they put it in a bag for safety (so that it didn't get torn open more than it was already.) And it arrived safely so that's all that matters, isn't it? mile:

OK, I want to tell you what happened to me late last night. I'm afraid it's a bit of a sad story but nothing irremediable.
It was about 3 a.m. when I went into the kitchen for a drink and just before hopping into bed. I'd been entertaining my assistants and we'd had a fabulous meal together with lots of laughs etc...
I noticed my socks were wet from something on the floor. I wondered why and as I was in the semi darkness reckoned that it must have been some water I'd spilt on the floor from my glass of water... Then I was hit in the face by a big drop of cold water... What the F....???
I looked up, only to find that there was a nasty wet crack in the ceiling and water falling from the crack.
I went upstairs to ring my neighbour's bell. No answer!
I came back down, and decided that if something was leaking in his kitchen he'd better know it, as it was destroying my ceiling. I rang his phone. This time he answered.
He went into his kitchen to check and saw nothing... "OK," I said, "then it's the tubing for the central heating, what a bore!!!" A bit later, I phoned him back and said I thought it must be the central heating in his flooring / my ceiling, and that we couldn't do anything about it so we'd better sleep on it; He agreed to go out on the landing and to turn his water supply off however. The leaking stopped last night.
This evening, the neighbour returns from work and comes to see what has happened. He sees the damage and is sorry. We discuss this further and agree that it won't be a picnic to have all the tiling removed in his kitchen to solve the plumbery problem for the central heating. Then he goes upstairs, turns his water supply back on and the trickling starts to spray me again from above... It's like having a bloody shower!!!!!! :mad:
As it turns out, he returned a few minutes later, saying he'd found where the problem was. He hadn't noticed that for a few days his tap had been leaking from changing a bolt or something and it's been leaking since then. He'll have to have it seen to, but at least it's not the heating piping... Phew!!! but my ceiling's a wreck... Glad we both have good insurances.

Oh, and a little Post Scriptum: *I LOVE Marshlander... as I have loved him all these years since we met.* Marshlander.

Hope your ceiling is being fixed!!

I passed my course and discovered that i am fitter than i though i was!! The course was very tough and we went running up hills and through the Scottish mountains :p The course was however awesome!

[COLOR="Purple"]It is way too early in the morning and I HATE MORNINGS!!!

I maybe got two hours of sleep and gotta rush it to the parents house to get ready for the new fridge and stove. Dont like playing with gas nor electricity. Glad to have a handyman for that :biggrin:

Hoping the little shopping will be nice and can find some good things. If stopping to get groceries hoping to find a stack of my fav dark choco bars.

And its raining. At least it isnt snowing!

btw, PA, if anyone has to look at the damage from the leak it is always easier to do it from the upper floor area than banging a hole in your ceiling and looking up. Taking up and putting down flooring is much easier than ceiling work - ask Michelangelo [/COLOR]
