Are we ever satisfied?

With what we have? We watched a fascinating programme last night called "The squarest teenagers in the world"..Stupid title for what was actually a very interesting programme. it showed a group of five Amish teenaagers who had come to britain to experience life here. Last night showed them living with some black families in London. The Amish teens were lovely children..very content with what they have, and appreciative of where they lived, but also very ubnderstanding of the lives that the black teens lived. They lived in a community where they are brought up to work from the age of three, and they leave school at fourteen to work within the community.I think the next programme should be interesting where they are in Kent with different youngsters. I was very impressed with the black families, and with their hospitality and the way they related to the Amish youngsters.
The other thing I did today was to look at a site from the Delia forum that I tune in to. One poster showed a beautiful house on the Sunshine beach in Noosa park Australia. What a fantastic house of your dreams, on the beach, with the beautiful sea nearly all to yourself, and great big windows to appreciate the view. yes I could fancy the life, but there again we have our own house and no mortgage,in a reasonable area, and we have a lot to be grateful for.
We nipped into Crosby to Sainsburys this morning. to get the weekly veggies. and mainly to use the coupon for three pounds off thirty!!! Joke!!! i spent some time going round putting things in to make it up to the thirty and ended up spendidng fourty three!!! Typical.
We were only there about half an hour, and it was quite nice when we went in, but when we came out it was absolutely tipping it down! lovely July weather..
Tonight we are having:
gruyere cheese escalopes,
Squashed Anya potatoes
mixed vegetables
White sauce with mushrooms.
