A TASTY LUNCH & A BETTER SCORE. (THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT!)

Lunch was scrummy, even more scrummy as she didn't have to cook it! 

She blew me a kiss, told me to be a good girl and left to go up the road for lunch with Barbara and the Wednesday quiz.

Oh, it's boring that she can't eat peppers for the dish of stuffed peppers looked delicious but she chose spicy beef with quinoa instead and a side salad.

Time for the quiz, the tables were cleared, a space was made for Michael's wheelchair, coffees, teas and grapes appeared and they started bang on the dot of 2pm.

She got the first ten questions right! 

Sherlock Holmes wore a deerstalker cap.
It is the Cutty Sark which was built in 1869 and is in th dry dock at Greenwich.
Samuel Pepys described the pub as the heart of England.
The photo was of Henry Kissinger.
Leo is the astrological sign of people born on 1st August.
The Collezione Peggy Guggenheim is in Venice. 
Borneo is split between Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Vodka is the spirit used to make Screwdrivers and Sea Breeze .
Mc.Donald's staff will serve people on horseback at their drive-throughs.

Sadly she left the rest of quiz papers behind or that's what she's saying!! Nudge nudge.. get my drift!

They were a merry bunch and it was warm enough to have one of the garden doors open! Let's hope that the next two days are also fine, for tomorrow we're bound for the allotments to plant onions and shallots.

And on Friday morning, Jane's meeting us at South Ken tube station, we'll take the Piccadilly line to Hammersmith and then catch a 190 bus out to the allotments.

And Jane's said she'll bring a hot lunch in a thermos! What a treat and Joska's due to be there as well.

Spring is a'coming folks and the gardening gang will soon all be back on their plots working hard to get their seeds and cuttings ready for this year's produce.   

And on our way home tomorrow, we are having tea with our Lebanese friends, Raja has said he'll take the hard drive out of her old dead laptop and transfer the photos onto a disc.

So here we are, halfway through the week with a couple of pleasant things to look forward to. We hope that you're having an happy and trouble-free week? 

Now she's got to rustle up a bowl of fruit, nuts and dried chunky yumyum for me, which is what I like to eat in the evening whilst I watch television.. as you do when you're a much beloved African Grey.

Which I am.

GeeGee Parrot.
