Really well. She was like a pro and didn’t seem daunted by mixing with the stars. In fact I’ll be surprised if Stephen Fry hasn’t bought someof her work; he loved it.

Sporting results today have bern mixed.
Jamie Murray and his partner lost
Roger Federer lost Some fans disgusted me by booing Sascha Zverev. He is only 21 and looked like he was going to cry. No excuse for booing the winner at all!
In the rugby England managed to beat Japan ... and Wales ... well Wales beat Fiji 74-24[emoji33] Lyn, Adam and I are all delighted!!
JoesDad’s football team, Luton Town, beat Plymouth 5-1
Back to the tennis and the French pair we decided to support won too
One more match to go here - Djokovic v Anderson. I don’t really mind who wins this

Afternoon Alles....
Was able to sell off one of the pair of winter boots I put on Craigs List earlier this week, AND the guy who came for the boots also hauled away a truck load of those pine logs I had cut up a month or so ago. Saved me from getting rid of, or splitting and burning all those logs. Even gave the guy a discount on the price.
Later, since it’s a sunny and in the 40’s kind of day, started up a fire in the fire pit, and burned a lot of nice well seasoned mixed wood up. We built a bed of coals, layed down a big brick, and put a tin foil wrapper of sweet potatoes on for later...
Hung up a few bird feeders and suet containers near the wood shed. While in the back garden, noticed that our cyclamen-like plants are blooming.
Pix of the cyclamen.

After travelling back from SA which took about 17 hours, I couldn't remember how to turn the lights on the lights in my car!Good morning all. I think my brain has caught up with my body this morning. I feel far less wiped out than I did yesterday. I might be able to cope woth something more complicated than operating the washing machine... operating the iron isn't on the cards though

I have plenty of homework s/he can eat, as long as someone writes a note for my headmaster explaining where it is!
That's how we have ours in the UK as well, and traditionally on Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) in Feb. but you could have them anytime.
Sprinkle sugar and then add lemon juice and you can add whatever fillings you fancy (or not).
Our pancakes are quite thin and I like ice cream rolled in the them too.
Yummy!!
It really is shocking and so sad.
I heard on the news today there are over a thousand missing.
Snap!We use lemon juice and sugar on our pancakes too. Sprinkle a little sugar and then squeeze a few drops of fresh lemon juice on top. Yummy
No tomato puree?
Sounds delicious, I may try that in school with the kids the next time I can't avoid cooking in social skills!
The Welsh cakes sound good too!
Just did!!
Crumpets are much thicker but delicious toasted with butter seeping through the holes!!!Crumpets remind me of half-made pancakes, with the bottom side cooked fairly solid, and with tons of holes in the top for lots of buttery goodness...
Yummy again!!!
Wish I'd seen that earlier I would have listened in!Good morning all. It is Saturday at last
Today I shall be watching Tennis. The ATP World Finals, an indoor tournament, is on in London and JoesDad and I have tickets. I am partial to watching a tennis as you are probably aware
But first I must listen to the radio. My niece, the one who had her photo taken by Rankin, is going to be a guest on Saturday Live on national station Radio 4...alongside big names (in the UK at least) like Stephen Fry. She's getting about a bit at the moment!
Was she talking about her wood carving and how she manages to scrape a living out of it?

......”scrape” a living! Ouch! I’ll file this one away...
I watched the rugby - Wales beat Tonga 74-24.
It was quite strange watching Wales play in black kit and Tonga in red.
England beat Japan, and Scot lost to SA but the big news is that Ireland beat NZ - that's a surprise as the All Blacks tend to dominate!!
Well done to Ireland!!
I saw Bohemian Rhapsody last Weds, and enjoyed it immensely.
So sad to have lost Freddie when he was only 45, I think he'd still be singing today.
Hi Gillian and Oli!Hi.
I have been sparing a thought for the animals too, it must be horrific for them.
