Today I watched Scotia V Brazil with my pal Jennifer. Scotland weren't nearly as bad as I expected them to be, which was lovely.

Then I sat on the deck in the garden in the warm (?!) sunshine having a webcam chat with my mum, my cousin Steph and her best pal Andrew. I laughed that much I think the neighbours might of thought I was smoking something!! Steph told me how they took my 89 year old Grandpa out to a curry house for the first time in his life, and he hoovered down about half a ton of chicken korma & then declared he'd like to repeat the event once a month ::):

After that I made chilli with lamb and smoked paprika and cumin and cinnamon and baked beans (branston ones), brown rice and a dod of half fat creme fraiche and poured myself a glass of red and sat on the deck reading for a couple of hours. Now sitting listening to bagpipes on Radio Scotland (yes the wine has DEFINITELY kicked in) and thinking how nice life is. LIfe is nice when you're not down in the dumps- the key to the situation is how NOT to be down in the dumps more often 8) All the best to youse all. Happy Sunday.

and a Happy Sunday too you too I feel your joy :D

I reckon it's got everything to do with longer days and milder weather I wonder if I lived in a warm bright climate that I would be happy all year round.

Best of luck Bridie, and to you DS. I'm feeling your pain, over the weekend I tanned a packet of jaffa cakes, four cherry bakewells and a bag of babybels (as well as breakfast/lunch/dinner). Too much armchair entertainment on, shoulda got up and got busy with housework or whatever!

jodie,

If that was a packet of 12 Jaffa Cakes I wouldn't worry, though if it was a pack of 36 I would have to say that's
some handlin' (as they say over here). ::):

I wish jaffa cakes survived long enough in my house for me to get one.
Various daughters scoff them before I get a look in :(

They do a packet of Jaffa cakes with 36 cakes in the box?

That's just reckless.

Jo is away from her desk right now, if your query is urgent she can be found in Tesco's car park tanning a 36 pack of Jaffa cakes.

The world RECORD for most Jaffa cakes in a minute is only EIGHT!? I could beat that in 30 seconds I'm sure.
