Rime, a good scratch and hot feet.

-
1. Sheep with frost on their backs because it means no warmth is escaping through their fleeces.

2. A horse rolling on the ground.

3. Resting my feet on a hot radiator as I work.

    Oh! I'm jealous! Frost and radiators! We're still working on getting out of the 70s. At least it's raining today, which we need desperately.

    MMMM - frost and warm toes. No, I'd rather have warm.

    Now why does no-one suffer from chilblains nowadays? - hot feet on rads on a cold day used to be such a NoNo.

    Rime! and to think you wrote this on wednesday and I'm reading it today! I was playing a vocab game on friday and when this word came up, I wasn't sure what it meant... lost a few points on a wrong guess too. Now that teaches me to keep doing daily stuff on a daily basis, doesn't it?? :-)

    Rashimi -- I'm guessing that you have not much need for a word like 'Rime', living as you do in India's magical world of affordable tailors, million gods and heat. Nick and I are watching a series of documentaries about the history of India -- it makes me want to visit one day to see everything for myself.

    Lady Thinker -- my father often wonders that. I think it's because of better quality socks. Or maybe global warming.

Bee, green beans and movie night.

-
1. An enormous fat bumble bee at work. She is so bulky that she can knock dead blossoms out of the way as she gets right in to the new jasmine flowers. 2. Green beans squeaking in my teeth. 3. We watch The Goonies . It's fun to see it through adult eyes; and it's fun to see my daughter suddenly understanding gags and references that she's seen in other media.

Midsummer, feeding and cakes.

1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.

As needed, forgotten cake and syrup.

-
1. I promised myself I wouldn't moan and grumble about it -- but I do. And as if by magic, a very kind friend produces the required blazer (and also the next size up). 2. I'd forgotten that I'd added a tiramisu cake to the shopping order. 3. The elderberry syrup is now so thick that it coats the spoon.
