Brrrr...

Well..last night we succombed to having a fire. VT had been sitting in his short sleeved shirt all afternoon, and even he went upstairs to change into his sweatshirt..there see..it must be cold. It's actually like march or early September. So he lit a coal fire and the room warmed up . Bobby came right down, i swear she can tell a heater is on from three rooms away, and was to be found stretched out in front of the fire all evening.
Today (Sunday) he has lit a peat fire, since he still has some left from the winter order.I like a peat fire, the smell is gorgeous, but I wouldn't exactly say it is warming. Wouldn't like to be in the wilds of Scotland with only a peat fire for heat,,you get a glow more than a blaze with peat.
VT sat out this afternoon with hios cup of tea, but only lasted about two minutes,his tea was probably getting cold!
The Sunday crosswords were fairly taxing today, the big Mail on Sunday one needed a lot looking up on the netbook, he usually does more of it than he did today. Mine was a proverb theme which is a pain till you get them. One was Practise what you preach, and the other was practice makes perfect, with the word practice being used for both answers..confusing.

Watched some of the Eurovision last night..don't know why we bother, the songs I like never win, except that the Italy entry I thought was good and that came second. The one that won was very mediocre, from Azerbaistan (sp) and was voted for by all of the Eastern European countries. It's such a fix..Russia votes for Georgia and vice-versa. England gave top marks to Jedward for Ireland!!!!! mad..totally mad.
Tonight we are having:
The lovely pizza that VT makes..
Our tomato sauce, mushrooms, sausage pineapple and goats cheese today
Potato salad for me and rice salad for VT
Potato and egg green salad with avocado.
