Nice one Grandma You're on a roll this week @Candicemarie

@Sue.Q its the rolls that led me to this forum...and the pies!

I feel I deserve a wee boast. I did my 5k colour run today. As we ran we were pelted with powder coloured with food colouring. Great fun and the red, green, yellow and purple paint came off my white hair when I washed it. Yae.

Boast you should do @Nessie That's a great achievement
What ever colour your hair was at the finish line lol
Very well done you!!

Fantastic running @Nessie, inspirational.
I've not done much today as we walked round Twycross Zoo a hundred (felt like) times yesterday, though I have walked into town for bits and bobs as OH was watching cricket whilst listening to football (rolls eyes).
Had to buy a new iron the other day as our two year old one blew up, like they usually do. New one (Philips steam) seems super efficient so ironing was less arduous today :0)
Oh the excitement of my life ...

Well done @Nessie X
@AzureBlue a good steamy iron does help,almost makes ironing a pleasure! X
OMG football AND cricket x x

Keep waking up after 9am so going to have to set the dreaded alarm clock for a few days to change that to 7.45 and so not lose half the morning :0@
It's proper Autumn innit :0@
Keep smiling :0)

Well done @Nessie that is quite an achievement what ever colour your hair ended up

Just reporting the arrival of grandchild No 8. James was 3.8kg and mother and baby fine. I have no other details
PS as the child is in Italy it could be some time before there are photos!

Congratulations, @Merlin. What a shame they are so far away but at least there is now FaceTime and email. Hope mother and baby continue to do well.

@merlin Many congratulations, that's quite a growing brood, delightful

Couldn't sleep between 2.30 - 6.30 last night so ended up waking at 9am again. Gaaaah Drinking tea at 5am is so tedious, though in the Middle Ages it was normal to wake for a couple of hours during the night and check on the cow and sheep, converse etc.

Congratulations@Merlin it is always a joy when a new wee member of the human race joins us. Hope it won't be too long till you see him.

You see, being over-tired I have some how managed to inhale 3 chocolate macaroons this afternoon, just fell into my mouth :0@
Whey hey Saturday it is then. Curry for dinner :0)

Big big congrats @Merlin! X

Oh dear, I fear Peebles may think I am being extreme by wanting to give up sugar :0(. Though I appreciate avoiding gluten has cut out bread/cakes/pastry/biscuits from my diet and thus other useful nutrients, surely sugar has no such goodness.
I feel a bit 'ticked off'. Probably shouldn't take it personally, I may look in to eating rye - would that be ok?
