Hi,my friends,

Have been very busy, so no blog for ages. Apologies, and you are quite right to nag: how else am I going to get off my derriere if you don't?

I shall be off-line from tomorrow (Monday) thru to Tuesday.
Or Wednesday if bt haven't done their thing with broadband.
Or Thursday if bt can't find the address which is tucked away down a single track road in a farming area.

The man with a van arrives tomorrow and I relocate to Worcestershire (feeling very Saucy!). Have noticed lots and lots of birds and squills in the trees around my first floor apartment, so will have a new Wildlife family around me.

Though I'm not too sure about the massive rat I saw loping across the stable-yard.

I might have to brush up on my Ninja-Gran skills and pay more attention to "Throwing the Ninja-stix like a javelin." .. In a push, that should keep Rattus at bay.

As I'm on the first floor, will have to find a way of setting up bird feeding trays instead of window boxes. But, as I don't have any existing window boxes, and it is a Grade II listed building (historic and no dastardly drill may abuse those ancient walls) it might take some time.

You understand that winter is NOT the optimum time of year to leave the sash wondows open to feed the birds.

I'm sure that you've been along the following road before, and that is: what housewarming presies do we want? My lovely friends will no doubt come calling bearing gifts, because that's the sort of people they are. And I'm funny about gifts. I hate the thought of two things:

a) people spending their hard-earned money on something, (like wine, chocolates, tea-towels or potted plants) I don't want or need, and

b) some of my less lovely friends will bring around recycled gifts. (You know, the sort of things that you don't want for yourself, but havent got the courage to put into a large black plastic bag. So you sieze upon an excuse to rewrap them and give them to someone else. We've all done it, no? Yes, I must be honest, even me. Though I live in the sweaty no-man's land of fear that I might unwittingly gift it back to the giver.)

Anyway, I've decided to ask for silk flowers. Hydrangeas, pink and blue, and dusty pink roses. Then I can make an arrangement to go in front of the little black pressed metal fireplace (for show only, no fires) in my new drawing room.

Or, or maybe, what do you think of this... I have no objections to serving guests off odd plates, so I could ask them for an old bone china dinner plate. Then I could have a plate that reminds me of them, and the plate could be decorative or practical. Hmmm. I like that idea. What do you think?

I NEED TO SLEEP, SO CHOOSE A VEGETABLE
I have been spending evenings browsing through online catalogues. Moving from
rented fully-furnished to rented unfurnished means that I've had to buy a bed. So decided I've had enough of resting all this generous, gorgeous, curvaceously bent body on a single bed and have upgraded to a Kingsize. And so, also need new bedding.

And being refined, well-educated and of gentle birth (though I think my mother would have disagreed with that last and maintained that there was nothing gentle about 57 hours of labour, but anyhoo..)however being exiled from my homeland, and now slightly disabled, means that I am in straightened circumstances. So have had to look to the budget, which means the Argos and Tesco catalogues.

It used to be pale blue, but now I don't know. I have been in a lather of indecision over bedding. Lilac? No, maybe Blueberry? Oh! Wait - have you seen Raspberry? That's nice? Oooh! Look at that Cherry! My head is revolving like a carousel around the Fresh Produce section: Aubergine, Strawberry, Blackcurrant, Sage, Lemon, Chilli, Saffron, Tomato.

Upon which vegetable do I feel like laying me down to sleep?

Have a simply superdelicious lovely day, my friends. xxx
