Because it is Sunday we do the normal crosswords. Today the computer is being particularly slow, and I mean REALLY slow. Each query takes for ever to process and then freezes so you can't get anywhere. Pain!
Ah Well we did get them finished even though it seems to take ages.
Just watching David Cameron on the news aat the Conservative Party Conference to be honest I can't stand the man, and would hate to see him as a Prime Minister. Hope Gordon Brown stays around for a bit longer.
Tonight we are having:
Sourdough Pizza with tomato base and
Roast vegetables
Goats Cheese topping,
Salad with baby golden tomatoes and avocado.

Browsing...
Spent a happy while browsing the web for places to visit when we are in New England. Can't wait to go on our holiday, two weeks today and we will be there enjoying the Fall sights and weather. Got plenty to spend so will have a great time...oooh all that shopping!!
VT is in the garden pricking out his little plants, he has been to the garden centre to get some compost etc and is now tending to them. Little Rusty is asleep on our bed looking beautiful, but it is a bit of a pain since we want to put the electric blanket on and do the bedding. It is beginning to get quite cold at night now but the new quilt is beautiful. I ordered it last week from QVC as a Today's Special Value. Under £50 and you get a double quilt, two pillow shams and a cushion. Makes the bed look really posh and finishes the room off beautifully. Took me a while to explain to VT what a pillow sham is, he can't get the hang of not actually using tham to sleep on...but we are getting there.
Tonight as on every Saturday night for eons we are having:
Chinese...Spring Rolls, vegetarian of course,
Stir Fried vegetables, with Fry Light,
Egg Fried Rice 4oz.,
Sauce, not sure what kind we tend to decide when we open the cupboard.
STILL on the stone mark...cannot shift down at all. Don't really know why and it is very disappointing, not to say disheartening, wouldn't mind if we were eating cheating things but we aren't. Mind you we have lost about 18lbs so am pleased with that anyway.

More Shopping and an Update.
Yesterday's blog was done too quickly, I ran out of time for doing it, and VT was coming in so finished it too soon.
Anyway for tea last night in the end we had:
Fillets in Green Thai Curry Sauce,
4 oz of boiled crushed potatoes with butter buds on them,
Tenderstem Broccolli and baby courgettes,
Mushrooms sliced and served on the Quorn fillets.
And, that was very tasty too.We both enjoyed that.
Today we got up early and went to The Cheshire Oaks for an outing. We had a walk round, VT bought a smart new coat from the Regatta shop, brown which is a new colour for him. I didn't buy any clothes (saving myself for US!) but did buy some more perfume, and a Bobby Brown new eye shadow, and really exciting!!!2 new pairs of slippers!! one to take away and the other to have in store.
We went to Costa for a lovely cup of coffee and Garibaldi biscuit, and Sainsbury's for lunch.Very irritating!! no paninis which is what we usually have, only chickeny ones. And, no sandwiches for veggies either. Therefore no choice if you don't want a cooked meal..
We ended up having to buy 2 packs of healthy choice sandwiches from the sandwich bar, in the end cheese ploughmans because there were no others..and sat and ate them in the car.
Why on earth don't the supermarkets have a better choice for veggies..so boring, cheese ploughmans or egg and cress !!
Tonight we are having:
Quorn sausages,
Pasta and vegetables in a garlic butter (Tesco Frozen)
Carrots and broccoli.

Twas on a Wednesday Morning the Roofman Came to Call!!
Wednesday morning and the roofmen are presently on the roof of the extension repairing the leaky roof. Hope it works this time.
Been waiting all morning to hear from them so that means that we will be able to go out tomorrow. Goody.
No idea what we are having tonight one of those undecided meals.

Roof and Delivery and Journey..
Roof man came to check the leaking roof in the extension. It drips water when it rains heavily and it appears that it is something to do with the tiles round the Velux window. So they will be coming tomorrow to fix that. Post delivery of my black pearls and earring set from QVC. I am still awaiting the delivery of our quilt and pillow set, but that will come by courier so it takes a bit longer. Like the pearls, very classy. Nice little trip to Ormskirk, had a good look round my clothes shop and took a 0pair of trousers back, they didn't have the ones I wanted so will try Maghull later. Bought a load of things in Superdrug for my holiday, I like to take new things away so bought mascara and foundation, these were on offer 2 for £10 so saved a bundle really.
Ended up in Morrisons getting the veggies for the week.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn escallopes of some sort,
Baked new potatoes ,
Mixed vegetables, with a sauce.
Want to try and get under the stone mark for both of us, I must admit it is nice getting into clothes of a decent size instead of tents, and VT bought a beautiful shirt from a charity shop in Ormskirk. Brand nmew!! and £3.49...what a bargain.

Jenny's Toothy Pegs...
Dentist this morning..a renewed filling in one of my front teeth, and a filling in one of my back teeth. So my mouth is numb round my nose and round my chin. Great!!
It has become very stormy and wet, blowing a gale. Little Rusty has just come in with soaking wet fur, and has had to be dried. I think she likes it though, she purrs as you are doing it. VT went shopping to TESCO this morning with a list, and came back with the things on the list! Why is it that when I go out we come back with a trolley full!
Can't eat pizza for our lunch so we are having it for our tea tonight with some extra salad, so that is our tea tonight. For lunch we are having a sandwich instead of the Pizza.
Gorgeous pizza last night, really tasty, VT put some artichokes on it and it made for a very juicy and moist pizza. I must admit that VT is a great pizza maker, and he has been trained very well.
