Limes

I highly recommend having a housekeeper and a groundskeeper. While I was at work on Monday and Tuesday, Mum and Dad looked after Joss and Tobes, did the grocery shopping, gardened and cooked. I came home and relaxed. Last night Mim came over for dinner and Mum and Dad had made fabulous chicken burgers with caramelised onions and roast vegetables. Mum brought with her limes from her orchard and made delicious lime slice.


She also made lime cordial to fill three wine bottles. We had manged to empty the wine bottles in the previous days and now Mum has offered to make some for Alice so we have to empty some more :(

My camera is misbehaving. To demonstrate I had Andrew take a photo of me with Mim late last night. Something is not right. And all the photos are fuzzy and it can't be all my fault.


We took another that worked fine only we looked old and tired! I wouldn't normally say that about someone else, I'm very polite you understand, but as Mim offered me a red coat earlier in the evening because it was from when she was bigger and she is never going to get that big again so it might fit me, I think I am entitled to say she looks tired late at night.

Today Mum, Jossie and I went shopping for clothes to wear on our trip. I am not about to play model and photos of clothes with no-one in them are not very good so you'll just have to wait for holiday photos in which I will be wearing them. Mum and Dad bought me a beautiful jacket for my birthday. It is reversible, black on one side and red on the other. I also bought a lovely top and a granny vest that is supposed to be very 'in' and is slimming! We popped in to see Alice and Sophie and Mum and I had such lovely cuddles with Sophie. Tonight we have lamb and pasta bake and berry crumble. Lucky us!
