supper





a terrific supper made with
aubergines and tiny tomatoes.
Pasta went into the sauce later on.

end of July. . .






where does the time get to? ?
i'm not the only one who thinks the
time is just whizzing along this summer.. ...

and best wishes
of all sorts to
my friend Maggie
who celebrates a Birthday
today.


here's to you


a little at-home celebration.
some pink bubbly
and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Who says that
Grilled cheese
doesn't go with Champagne ?
you must try it for
yourself
to see how delicious it can be.

for a bite
to eat now ? ?

customer service



"Statistics suggest
that when customers complain,
business owners and managers
ought to get excited about it.
The complaining customer represents
a huge opportunity for more business."

Zig Ziglar


and yes, this quote is brought to mind
because of my broken glasses.

helloooooooo july

Poodle guy has fun


Knitting Companion
can sometimes
be choosey about

who-in-the-madding-crowds
of the General Public
pat him unexpectedly.
Other people, he takes
an instant liking to, as if
they have secretly been one
of his best friends; without my
(or their) knowledge.

tights


i have some fabulous new
tights.
it may not be the "cool" season
for you to be thinking about tights just
now . . .
but when falls arrives, i'll be ready.
my mom very generously
gifted me with some Wolford tights.
they are strong-wearing, practical,
and most importantly: they are even
comfortable. I'm not kidding.
(no, i'm not selling them, either.)

go and have a look at the wolford site.

update on sunday

My camera is charging,
the Poodle is napping
and the at-home-chef, i am
very pleased to say, is baking
a cake and making something
marvellous for supper.
