All those discussing Portuguese custard tarts, John says the M&S ones are good. They sell them in singles in the bakery - I don’t like them! 😖😁

What!!!  How can you not like them? The first we had were accompanied with two small salt shakers, one containing icing sugar and the other cinnamon😋 Very addictive.

That was a nice surprise for you Josy.

It is even better for our local hospice because David suggested that I donate it because we aren't in need.

Well, tonight we couldn't decide what to watch on TV, so we went back to the very first episode of Death in Paradise. Really good,  and after another bottle of wine we watched episode two as well. Not nearly as formulaic as the later series,  and it's good to see the original cast. 

Don Warrington has put a bit of weight on in the jast 10 years!

Showing my age, but he was  great in Rising Damp  !

I loved that show. Every character was unique and it was hilarious.

My nice new uniform has arrived for my voluntary role to help out with the vaccines.

Big Death in Paradise fans here and am loving the new series. Wasn't too sure of the new detective at first but I really like him now so credit where it is due. Like the new lad who has joined, Marlon I think his name is. Like a young Dwain 😉

 

Not sure if I have posted this before but for all of those DIP fans out there today, get your dancing shoes on and join in and if it is grey and miserable get the rum out too.

We record it for later, and when we came to watch it found it had clashed with another two recordings.  Strange, I thought. Then found out it was cancelled on Thursday for football and aired on Friday instead. Typical, so we've now missed one episode😬

Turned into a really nice morning here in Cheshire 10 degrees and rising, sun out with some warmth to it. Tender patio plants are out of the garage and back in position, for now!!

[Josy1953]

We are fans of Death in Paradise too, my favourite detective was Humphrey (Kris Marshall).  @Presto2 I also like the new young officer I think that his name is Marlon.

We just keep watching the repeats on Netflix - worth the cost just for that 🙂

Oh no - it may be half term but he's probably going to tell us that all schools will reopen to all pupils tomorrow morning ; -)

Thank you,  I am trying to do my bit because I know from my family members how the NHS frontline is stretched trying to get the vaccine out and as someone who is fit and well I feel that I should be doing something constructive to help out.

I know you mean well Pete but questioning spelling is against CC rules.

As much as I would like to see a move towards an easing of some restrictions I hope that he doesn't open up too much too soon.  Hopefully there will be something to help the people who are having a really difficult time.

Today was the end date of the target to get the first 4 cohorts vaccinated so that will be his Good News story today.

They now say it will be February 22nd before a route map out of lockdown will be presented.

Thank you Josy - on both counts as Ann said.  We so need as many volunteers as are willing. I hope you enjoy it too. The rewards, like people bringing in biscuits and hot chocolate, stay in your heart; the miserable grizzlers disappear very quickly.  Be safe and well.  Best wishes. Jane.x
