Things can only get better, hope the next one is much better☺

'The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday'.A black belt is not something you wear. It's something you become.

Late Happy Birthday from me too

Sorry @ARMANDII we gobbled it all up over a few nights as we hadn't got a lot of room in the fridge to store it for too long.Better luck next year...

I have a sort of similar anecdote.We used to look after my dad's dog whenever he was away. The dog in question was so well behaved and sociable. One day in fact while out for a walk, another dog randomly went for her. She was so mild mannered she simply retaliated with nothing more than a...

Well, the new gazebo took a battering yesterday, but held up well. It danced around the patio a bit, the wind was that strong, but my makeshift guy ropes kept it within a reasonable range. In fact, it is probably better that it was allowed to move about within the constraints of the guy ropes...

I now drive a Chrysler 300c CRD estate, a really comfy large car and not to bad on fuel
