Typical we had a lovely sunny day
yesterday but I did not have the time or energy at that time to do the washing in the morning. So I looked at what the weather report was going to be for the next day and it was suppose to be more of the same. So that evening I did all my washing so I now I have 2 lines of washing. Hmm not a ray of sun in sight 
So it looks like I will be drying it all in the drier which I prefer not to do. One because of the cost of the electric and secondly it smells a lot better when dried outside. Fingers crossed 
that the sun makes an appearance this afternoon. If they get dry I will tackle the ironing.Watched the film last night of Mamma Mia and we loved it but saying that we were brought up on the abba music so it was a great sing a long from beginning to end. Our friends had watched it some weeks earlier and they had said they had enjoyed it so we gave it a whirl.
DH is watching the Hong Kong F1 grand prix and cheering on Lewis Hamilton. It is the first time they have done a night race but to look at it you would never really guess it is that well luminated.
Made a huge and a I mean huge pan of vegetable soup. Anyone would think I was feeding the 5000 with it but I will put some in the freezer for another time. I made this to use up my vegetables and because it was more of a wintry day I fancied soup. I am a big soup fan and always have been. I had some for my lunch and I am rather full now to say the least.
MEOWEE We also get our electric from wind turbines or coal for the majority of places.
This is a picture of our power station which is coal powered. This is the Radcliffe ~ on ~ Soar power station. It has 7 huge chimneys which are locally known as the 7 sisters but I do not know why that name came about.I hope your migrane improves swiftly as it is not much fun. I must admit I am grateful that I do not get them as frequently as I once did. I suppose I get 2 or maybe 3 a year as opposed to 1 or 2 a month. Why the change? not sure but maybe all my pain killing medication has something to do with it. What ever it is I am so thankful I do not have to contend with them so often.
Here in the Uk we are very sheltered we do not hear so much about hurricanes. I had to goggle Kyle to see if it was a hurricane. The only time we tend to hear about them is in the news when great destruction has been caused by this force of nature.
ROSEBUD It is funny the errors we make with words. I am sure if it had happened to me now I am older and wiser I would have been less embarassed
and able to say something witty. In nursing you soon learn to defend yourself with witty charm. I think because the difficultly of the job we relieved the pressure by laughter and practical jokes. No one was exempt, I was the nurse in charge of this ward one day. Has frequently happened I was the only female nurse, as psychiatry is a male dominated profession. I on this ocassion was doing observation of a disturbed patient which meant for that hour I was allocated to go with that patient every where so they were never out of site. I though it was so kind that the staff had made me a cuppa. Some male staff were not so good at providing drinks not because they did not want to I think it did not enter their head. Well this drink was gratefully received and then I noticed staff and patients were laughing at me. Hmm what had they done I then discovered on the cup they had put the label Maid Marion. Why the name Maid Marion? Well we were living in Nottingham at the time and I was the only lady on duty so often I was kindly called Maid Marion. (my name is nothing like this 
). I loved the joke and saw the funny side of it. Oh believe you me I did get the male nurses back but it was all good clean fun which relieved the pressures.Time to wash up a few pots and check to see if the washing has dried any
So till next time take care ladies

Oh well, luckily we also get to start a new month soon and it will definitely be a better one. I promise.
Santa Claus 
It was on the ingredient baking power which is the raising agent so they will come out flat 
Autumn because of both the colours and the temperatures even though it does tend to remind us that Winter will not be too far behind.
On that note, it should be completely gone by tomorrow. 
on and off. No sunshine 
with starting the new post today and I hope everything goes well. Look forward to hearing from you when you have a spare minute.
Here is a photograph of my oatmeal muffins sorry hopeless at photography so this is why it is out of focus 
on getting your new house I am so pleased for you. Looks like your prayers were answered. Yes I understand that there are concerns about it being bigger and the heating bill because of it. I lived in big Victorian house prior to this bungalow which was big property. We to keep fuel bills down just heated the rooms that we need to and that way the fuel bills have been no more than this property which is smaller. I know it is not ideal but it was a way a solving the fact if we heated the whole property we were wasting fuel in rooms we were not using. It worked for us the only time we had more heating if we had guests to stay and then we used it for the rooms we needed. We put up thick curtains and draft excluder's at doors all made the room cosy. We are lucky in this home we have great loft insulation and walls insulation.
