HAPPY NEW WEEK! I hope everyone has a joyful week. Looks like the autumn rains are coming early here this year. Lots of electrical thunderstorms last week with power outages and more forecast for this week.I woke up in the night once this week and nearly climbed up the wall because I thought a scorpion was in bed with me. It was only a very long Trig, though. A Trig is a grasshopper-like bug. That species tries to come indoors this time of year. I'm not afraid of them, but they're very loud and annoying. They make a sound like metal gears grinding. I relocated that one outdoors.

I think we probably all do that one, SunnyKate!
Glad you managed a pleasant chatty lunch out, AQ-- nothing quite like a couple of women to put the world to rights! I hate too much salad dressing, too. Just a bit is fine. Two days ago I lost a post in which I described (in probably too long a detail) how my OH had decided to Make Jam, which of course, being a man, is a major operation. He took over the kitchen and I gladly stayed out of the way. I'm grateful that he does this annual ritual, by the way, as I think its rather time consuming. So, out came the Big Jam Pan and he set to, to make three different lots of jam and cover the work surfaces in goo. To get the big pan out, he had to move a whole lot of stuff in a deep cupboard we have underneath everything. In there I keep little used things and all the big rolls of cling film, tinfoil etc. As I reviewed these, I discovered that although I had been asked to add foil to my shopping list recently, there were in fact three rolls unopened of this, plus one opened one and a large (Christmas turkey sized) roll of it. He takes over when we do a roast these days, and uses lots of foil on top of whatever it is. Now, we've got enough for the whole of the rest of this year and possibly next year. No wonder the cupboard was bursting! Also at the back of the cupboard and unused is a wonderful big roasting dish which I used to use, with a lid and ironically, no need for foil. Ho hum.
Today's quotes: (I hope these are helping with church newsletters throughout the land!) Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand.
