Mint Balls!!!

Just come upstairs after doing the crosswords for the afternoon, and on the way I pinched one of Vin's Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. Of course he comes in the room and says accusingly "I can smell mint!"..Owned up then, and he says they're not too strong for you are they/ Not on your life, I used to buy them from the local sweet shop when I was a kid. They would come in tins, and the woman would put them in a white paper bag, shaped like a cone, and they would all stick together in your pocket. You would end up prising them apart.. Aah Nostalgia. I used to love things like sherbet lemons, which used to cut your tongue sometimes, or pineapple cubes which used to make your eyes water..Spangles which came in tons of different flavours including the sour acid drop. Lemonade crystals which you would get in little paper cones you would dip your finger in and lick the crystals off!!1p Arrow bars that were pure toffee in lots of flavours, and the little scented violet cachous that you would get hundreds of because they were light I suppose..like eating perfume chunks.There is a sweet shop in Ormskirk which sells all these nostalgic sweets..I daren't go in there..Everton mints with their black and white stripes and toffee centres, and triangular humbugs that would stick together.
No wonder our teeth were bad.
Disturbed night last night, must have been something we had eaten, Vin reckons it was the Goats Cheese tarts..must have been something because he has a constitution like an ox as they say. But we are fine today, but tired of course because of the disturbed sleep. Still these thing shappen.
Big coach over the road this morning, and according to the woman in the paper shop who is the fount of all knowledge it is a trip to the races. Chester I presume which isn't too far away. Not a bad day, but coolish here and a tiny bit drizzly, it was much nicer yesterday.
Crosswords were tricky today, mine had a theme of Mathematics, which I know nothing about. Hated Maths at school, my teacher Mr Moran used to teach the boys, and would face them when teaching. I can do the numbers on Countdown though, but nowhere near as good as Rachel Riley. Gorgeous girl that, so pretty and smiley and a figure to die for, and totally brilliant with her numbers as well.
All I can remember doing at school is Sines and Cosines and Logarithms..what a waste of time..never ever used them in the whole of my 65 years!
Tonight we are having:

Potato and egg salad
Potato salad fpr mi and pasta salad for Vin.
