5 pages of moaning, discussions on eating children (see comment elsewhere) and now we're into poisoning and S&M!!    What is this place I have returned to?  You're all on something!!!!!! 

 

Cakes look darn nice though!!!!  Hungry now!!

[Lesley Cox]

Were we eating children? I must have missed that one. Who's the big bad wolf then?

[Paul T]

Yeah, someone commented they couldn't eat a whole one in one sitting, or something like that.  Probably Anthony I'd guess, but you never know.

[Paul T]

Actually, it was Paddy.... in the "What could be catching the imagination of...." thread.  Still sounds like something Anthony would say!! 

[Maggi Young]

Funnily enough, it is something I say all the time... I like children but i couldn't eat a whole one.... I think Paddy and Co. are right, it is a quote from W.C. Fields... he, who would, on the whole, rather be in Philadelphia.... (as he said on his deathbed)

Note from SRGC: The SRGC does not now suggest, nor has it ever sanctioned, the ingestion of minors.

And who also said he never drank water (only booze) because "fish f*** in it."

[Lesley Cox]

I've just finished reading a particularly gruesome thriller set in Philadelphia and I'm not absolutely sure that I WOULD rather be in Ph..., as I probably won't say on my deathbed.

2 inches 5 cm of rain here today and now there's a hard frost outside

[tonyg]

A frost  whats that - We can almost do without the central heating down here

[Maggi Young]

I've had a busy day so did not get to work with the camera as I had hoped. This morning lots of my rhodos were looking VERY unhappy... leaves down and rolled up tight. On checking the thermometer I saw that is was around minus 5 degress C.... had been down to about minus seven... I would have thought by the state of my rhodos that it had actually been colder than that... they have perked up a little now, but I'll get pix tomorrow if it is bright enough and post them in the Rhodo section.
Flippin' perishing here..very overcast now, there may well be snow about tonight.

Today started with -2^oC on my journey to school but buy 4 p.m. on my way home it was 4^oC. Builders still working away and here are some pics taken at the weekend, two weeks into the project.

[Maggi Young]

Mmm....scaffolding in the rockery and on the troughs.....   
Can't think what possessed you to get it done at this time of year.... it even LOOKS cold.
The ground floor extension was already there, this is just to go above that, right? What extra rooms are you getting?

[Anthony Darby]

At the far end downstairs a utility room, hence the redesign for the garage. Upstairs two kids bedrooms and a pseudo Jack and Jill ensuite (access from corridoor, not each room). To make access through, the two existing back bedrooms will become a large bedroom/study and a passage through. Designed by my friend Alan Murray (Murray & Murray Design Studio) and built by the delightful Charles of Aspen Construction, Falkirk.

[David Nicholson]

Be nice when it's done

[Maggi Young]

Did I tell you about next door's extension which took a year?
