THE SKY IS BLUE.. THE SUN IS RIS.. YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE DIS BIRDIE IS. SOME PEOPLE SAY DE BIRD IS ON DE WING BUT DAT'S ABSURB, FOR DE WING IS ON DE BIRD.

Places to go and things to do meant that she was out and about much of today hence this late posting on my blog. When she returned the third time, I knew where she'd been, for she's sporting a chic blonde bob again, she'd been to lovely Anita to have her head scrub-a-dub-dubbed and her hair cut.

Tomorrow she is going with Pauline to the lecture by Jayne Shrimpton in the Old Town Hall at 2pm and as the lecture's subject is fashion, she thought she'd lick her hair back into shape and perhaps wear another dress!

Why the strange title? Well, when she woke up this morning at some ungodly hour, she opened the front door to find a staggeringly beautiful morning! The sun was coming up over the houses opposite, there was no traffic noise and it was fresh with all the promise of a wonderful day.

Much tooing and froing went on all day, much searching for piping bags and nozzles.. which she found.. a lot of sterilising of equipment and rinsing in boiling water. You have to do this when you're catering for other people and she's done a LOT of that in her time!

Her bag of knives and steel along with trays, mixing bowls, spices and seasonings are all packed in WW and she'll do as much prep work as she can tomorrow morning before the lecture which will make assembling the savoury hors d'oeuvres and sweet yumyums quicker tomorrow night.

No, I'm not going, it is not a Rotary do and some people, weird as it may seem, don't like birds.. why? Well, they're frightened of us. They think we are going to fly into them, WHY we would want to do such a daft, silly thing is beyond me but I will be at home.

But we do have the Wizard coming next Tuesday and that will be fun, HE isn't scared of me and I think he great! Dear Rob, he is such a kind and nice man.

So tomorrow she's out and about from 1.30 pm being social and Friday she'll be gardening, maybe I'll go, maybe I won't, it entirely depends on how I feel on the day. So my next post will probably be on Friday morning.. but before I go and just to make your mouth water..

Here are a few tasters.. core a sweet ripe pear, mix a little home made ginger syrup with goats curd into which you have put some very finely chopped crystallised ginger, put this mix into a piping bag and fill the hollowed out pear. Chill so the curd hardens, slice the pear in half lengthways with a sharp knife and then slice the halves.

Wasabi, curd and celery. Chopped walnuts, crystallised ginger and curd balls. Chilli and ginger sauce with curd in cherry tomatoes.

GeeGee Parrot.
