Thanks Gwyn - yes Pontefract cakes are the same things as Pomfret cakes but I always knew them as Pomfret cakes - maybe it depends on the area you come from ?

My addiction when younger was


Pomfret cakes

Sir Jimmy does have a place I'm sure in all our memories


HG - is that what can be termed bijou accommodation - almost Japanese style ? Everything certainly seems to be close to hand - very convenient

Mr Spider

If that is your belief - then think of all the gas and electricity I use in cooking for one

I can't afford to live on take aways every day and I enjoy doing a bit of easy cooking doing things I enjoy and having the occasional civilised glass of wine with the fruit of my endeavours

Well - that's done it this morning

Came downstairs at 7 to find my hall nice and warm -put my hand on the radiator - the only one in the house without a thermostat as it's the first one on and seems to be connected to the main control panel in some way . [All my other radiators do have controls on them] That radiator was on and it did feel nice

Been round the house now , putting some radiators on. My new system seemed complicated and I couldn't work out how to put the heating off and still have hot water this summer so I just turned the radiators down to frost setting.

It still feels early to have it on - but weather has been so horrid up here - I'll just leave it working now and keep warm

that - well what can I say

IT"S FIGHTING TALK

My Mobile phone is not a 'smart' one - it's a Nokia 6303i - yes it gets internet after a fashion but I only use it for calls , texts and the alarm

When I need a new phone I always look for one with a loudspeaker - useful if you wear hearing aids as I do .

It does have a little camera and I can get piccies from that to my computer using Blue tooth - but since it's such a cheap one I can't link it to my SatNav or my beloved Freda - probably as well as I refuse to use it when I'm driving !

The other one I use is even older - it makes calls and sends texts and has a fantastic alarm which is guaranteed to wake me as it flashes lights at me

I suspect Daughter #1 found a good reason not to use her company supplied Blackberry last week

I'm glad it all went as well as that Tony - a really nasty experience.

We all can tell dreadful tales about the NHS - but when you need it in an emergency, it's fantastic - everything you need is there as you need it.

Tony !

Good to see you back - you have been missed.

Now take care of yourself , I know Jo won't let you overdo things .

Absolutely breath taking
