Went out to get a sandwich at lunchtime. Instead bought a pair of shoes and forgot about food! Starting to be quite hungry right now and am wondering what would be the quickest thing to cook when I get home!!! An egg sandwich perhaps....

I'd have thought that Jimmy Chew would have reminded you!

Who needs food when you have new shoes??

Right now I'm living on a shoestring! Would rather live on an egg sandwich..more filling!!!


That's what I thought at lunchtime! I'm starting to change my mind!!! I WANT FOOOOOOOD! (but I also want to keep my new shoes....!!!!)

Who needs a HOUSE when you have my shoes?!

(Only size 12 actually, but they're big enough!)

So if the word fiery means "pertaining to fire", why isn't it spelt firey?

Just one of those quaint little idiosyncrasies which make English so difficult to spell!

Size 12!? And you say "only"??

Merely because that's not surprisingly large in this day and age - not when NBA Basketballers have sizes in the 20s. Anyway, they look small enough when I look down at them!

It's just that when I pack a spare pair of shoes/trainers in a bag there's not much room for anything else!

You know what they say about men with large feet...

Big shoes!

For my height though, they're in proportion. If they were any smaller, I'd fall over!

Actually, I have a pair of wide-fitting size 11 shoes that I wear for playing the organ; that way I minimise the chance of playing two adjacent notes with one foot - not something usually called for when playing hymns or carols!


When Dudley Moore went up to Oxford as an Organ Scholar, he wore the organist robes of the previous incumbent. The trouble was, his predecessor had been 6' 4", whereas Dudley .....

The sight of him might even have induced a smile in Peter Cooke's otherwise straight face, had they met in such circumstances!

I'm a size 3.

I have size 4-5 shoes. Quite boring, really

Size 10s, me...my mum had to buy adult size 1s for me when I went to school at four and a quarter...

There IS video footage (no pun intended...) of Cyrilla riding a tricycle (when small, not recently) with what APPEARS to be paddles on the end of her legs. But one is mistaken! Said paddles are real, genuine FEET....

Oh dear, you are going to feel quite jittery by the time you get home. The shoes must be really nice to have forgotten about your sandwich.

We haven't had lunch yet either, just come back from swimming and I am now worn out. lol

That was yesterday ET and yes the shoes are really nice!!! !! By the time I got home all I could think about was food!!! Had to think of something I could cook quicky as my teacher's piano was free for a couple of hours so wanted something filling and quick to prepare before rushing to her place! Opted for a ball of porridge and some blackberries!!
Hope you enjoyed your swimming!!!!

That was the strangest fire alarm I've ever seen.

Going for a lie down, got a really bad headache, , and I haven't even had a chance to get near the piano yet today. Wouldn't surprise me if there was a storm.

Er, actually, Young-Bag, it's CINE-FILM footage *cough*. No such things as videos in my young day *lol*. And I'm afraid she's right - they do look a bit paddle-like...

a banana is more delicious than apple but less delicious than avocado

My lawn (unashamed boast coming up) looks superb in the morning sunshine. I cut it last evening, edged it and weeded the borders.

So a 'Skylark' is a make of harp? Does she know or am I merely broadcasting my ignorance?

Onions have the same effect as sudafed.

A packet of cheese and sudafed crisps, please!

Rofl. I still have some votes to allocate for most humourous. I might have to upgrade you

Onions have the same effect as Katherine Jenkins' singing on some people..

Surely you mean leeks?

i was able to add a reply here last time

That's the nicest thing you've ever said!

I think my eyes have gone a bit...well... squiffy I have to keep blinking about a million times before I can see books etc clearly. whaaaaat's going on?!

Yes, but avocado and chocolate is disgusting, whereas banana and chocolate is delicious.

Ditto toffee.

avocado = (it's even exactly the same colour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

If a cat is asleep in the middle of your bed does that mean it has adopted you? I'm sure this one is spending more time in my house than wherever she belongs.

I was meant to go to someone's hen do at midday. I'm still at home

Yep!

It means you and your house are considered by the cat to be his/her property and you are supposed to be dutiful and respectful towards the said animal. I have this on the highest authority - namely four cats - one a rescue job who "consented" to stay, one given to me to replace the sister who got herself run over and who also consented to stay. Then there are two others who as small kittens just turned up and announced they lived here.
They all sleep in the middle of the bed.........

I actually love how cold England is in comparison to Italy-no worries about suncream here right now!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Are you ok, Cyrilla? xx

i need to prepare the earliest breakfast, it's 00:40

That's hardly a breakfast, it's a midnight snack!

Unless you're a ginger renowned for burning in the shade on a cloudy day

Yes, fine - sorry, just feeling riled by three people.

I'll get over it!!

Awh! I'm not ginger (not quite, anyway-I've got the skin, eyes and freckles for it, all I'm missing is the hair colour!!) but I do burn quite easily too-after posting this, I've gone out today and burnt with factor 20 suncream on not clever!

I just made a cheese sandwich, cucumber and pickle included and bit into it, only to discover that I had forgotten the cheese!

The question is, was it right to call it a cheese sandwich because that's what I set out with the intention to make or did the eventual absence of cheese relegate it to one of the nomenclature 'cucumber and pickle'?

lol! true

I still can't fathom out why the alarm went off at 6.45 am this morning on my digital radio. I had no reason, so far as I recall, to have set it at that time - or indeed at all - during last week. It didn't go off on Friday, so why did it do so today on the (Mon-Fri) setting?

Normally I wouldn't have minded, but I only went to bed at 3.30 am and even then listened to a half-hour radio programme that I had recorded, so the alarm woke me after less than three hours' sleep. Grrrr!

It's far too hot! I can't sleep

Perhaps you are asleep, but dreaming that you're still in Italy!
