What's on your agenda for today?

Thanks, Shali! Maybe you could give us frozen yogurt instead of ice cream?

I always have to have white chocolate Magnums (ice cream bars) in the house for Ugandan daughter. Nephew is the one who introduced me to my very favourite ice cream - Ben and Jerry's Karamel Sutra. Don't know if I dare buy any to bring into the house. Awfully tempting for me and the scale is getting to where I'll be happy. I can resist the white chocolate stuff.
 
Frozen yogurt it is Annie! I think I prefer white chocolate to men!! Love it soo much. Very partial to Ben and Jerry's cherry ice cream--can't recall the name. You are doing so well on your diet.

It's taking me ages to get rid of the weight I gained in Thailand! I lose, gain, lose, gain.... Not a good thing!

I can't stand it Annie! I must make chocolate cherry cream cheese ice cream today. My kids tell me it is almost better than sex. Lol.

I love pure chocolate the best with nothing in it. But I think my favourite dessert is a chewy brownie (no nuts), topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, whipped cream and cherry on it. Better than sex. Well, sort of.
 
Stayin cool today too, expecting hot weather this weekend. Have nothing planned and can catch up on my lounging around and reading. Might make some hummus later. Shali, I am very impressed by your pie making and preserving. Good for you. That sounds like a lot of fruit you got there. Homemade ice cream and pies sound absolutely heavenly. Enjoy everyone!
 
Thanks Cookie, have a lovely day relaxing. I will barter some of my processing at a later date for exotic,foodstuffs from my Asian friends. Sending pie and chocolate cherry cream cheese ice cream to you stat!
 
Morning folks..

It's a glorious warm Sunny Sunday here, but there's quite a stiff breeze. Just been out in the garden and it's nice in the sun, but when the wind whips round it 's blowing all the blossom off the trees and covering all the garden furniture in seeds..

No plans for today, hubs has had a hard week, and has only today off, and a lot of work to do on his day off as well...trials of being the boss...but he might decide he'd like to go out for a late lunch later in the sunny pub garden so we'll see what the day brings.. :D.
 
Holly, get hub to the pub for a nice relaxing lunch and a pint!

Nephew is here and we stayed up until 1:30 am. He is still sleeping. He loved his time in parliament (interning and going to classes)! Comparing US and UK politics was very interesting for him.
 
He's still up there working Annie..and tbh the weather can't make it's mind up now...one minute gloriously sunny the next overcast.

I tell you what I'd love to hear your nephews' views about the differences between the UK and US political stances...pleased to hear that he's having a really enjoyable time while he's studying

He thinks the government in London is in a bigger mess than the US! He enjoyed watching all the SNP MPs ignoring some of the rules and making people mad. He sees no hope for the Labour party. Shakes his head at the prospect of Boris Johnson as PM in the future. He also got to sit in on FMQs in Edinburgh and he loved that and really liked hearing Nicola speak

He's finished now. Came not long after the election. Heading to join the family in Italy next week before going home.
 
It is hot hot hot today (over 31 C) Just chillin inside with a good novel (Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl, very good) and cold drink. Not doing any chores or cooking, no running around outside, not sitting in the sun. It's a lazy dazy day. Have fun everyone.

Oh, I'll have to check that out. Suspense?

Sort of suspense, if you've read Gone Girl, she wrote this one first. A bit dark, but I found it a page turner. Now I need something cheery and light. :)

Read Gone Girl. Hated the ending but still enjoyed the book. Just downloaded her other two books to my kindle.
 
I never read the book Gone Girl, but saw the movie. I like this author's writing, but the subject matter is heavy going.
 
Hi everyone just checking in from the middle of our holiday/vacation in Indonesia, have been away from home since the beginning of June, so have lost touch. Will catch up when I am back home at the end of the month.
