'PUNCHING' OUT THEIR PERFUME..

We slept well last night. She made a delicious supper of gammon, with mashed pumpkin over which she'd sweated chard, endive and spinach leaves and our pudding was a chunk of that most excellent Kirkhams' Lancashire cheese and one of our own Idared apples.

With full and happy tummies, a good book for her to read and a comfy warm head for me to doze upon, the evening was extremely pleasant and a much needed rest after the six and a half hours hard graft she had put in at the allotments.

Today it is dull and gloomy out there. A day to stay home and do laundry and housework, who says that laundry has to be done on a Monday? 

Not in this house it isn't! It's done on dull days when the weather is grim. 

I've been invited out to supper! She received a call this morning to ask her if she like to go and have supper on Saturday with Andreea and Juliano and Juliano said "and please bring GeeGee with you"! 

We met them quite recently and it was Andreea who was the first to coo and cluck over me and to 
let me meander all over her head. Juliano wasn't so brave but I charmed him and now, I have two new friends! 

How about that! She'll make a fat long chocolate salami to take with us as our 'thank you' gift.. it being wintertime, she'll fiddle with the recipe a little bit by adding crystallised ginger and a slurp of ginger syrup.

When she woke up this morning, she sniffed the air and thought 'that's curious, something smells different', then realised it was the carnations and the roses that are in an old jug beside her bed.

In gratitude from being 'rescued' from the cold allotments where Mr. Jack Frost has come to visit, they're filling the air with their divine perfumes.

Ain't nothing like the smell of your own flowers.

Time to go Dear Readers.. jump about a bit, stay warm, drink hot tea and eat ginger!

GeeGee Parrot.
