Fire up the barbie...
You know it's going to be a hot one. Well, what a fantastic show that was for a Friday. Lee Mack joined me, and you bombarded me with your barbequeing tips for the sizzling weekend ahead. And what a creative bunch you are. Stan Dupp's recipe for success is to pop a banana on the barbie. You slit the skin, push in some chocolate, wrap it in some foil, and give it ten minutes of heat. Then when the foil is opened, the skin will be black, the banana soft and the chocolate melted - top notch! But Mark in Wilmcote takes those bananas to the next level, by cutting them into chunks then wrapping them in bacon. But be sure to secure them with a cocktail stick - and go easy on the heat! James in Derby preferred a large flat mushroom - cooked for 10 minutes per side, served in a bread cob, and eaten like a burger. The juices are just incredible, he reckons.
Last word goes to Chas, who suggests that you've just got to sacrifice your first 4 sausages to get it fired up, and then it's hot hot hot ready for a juicy steak!
Now get that factor 50 on folks!
Peace and Love

Have a great weekend everyone - will try to pop in at some point.

Very hot in the garden, even the cats have come back in side.
I like a traditional barbie CLP, i.e. burgers, sausages, chicken, etc. but that large flat mushroom served in a cob sounds good.
I like the Eurovision song contest! I like the silliness of it all but I don't like the political stuff as this should have nothing to do with a song contest. I enjoy Graham Norton's commentary, he is every bit as good as Sir Tel imho. It would be quite something if Engelbert did win and so I'm going to be very optimistic.
I've done something today I'm very proud of, I won't explain what it is here for security reasons but I'm becoming a computor whizzkid and turnin g into quite a nerd.

Great show this morning Chris and the bbq tips were good. No barbecue for us tomorrow - all my lot are descending on daughter's, a barbecue for 14 would probably set the street alight, given daughter's propensity for accidents.

All the chores are done, changed the bed, washing, dusting, cleaned the bathroom etc etc. Off out for a late lunch with a friend soon and then I shall iron all my summer clothes when I get back.
Street Pastors was very quiet last night, which is a good thing. I left the church at 3:45am just as the dawn chorus was starting and the sun was beginning to rise - a very weird feeling. So I had to go to bed with an eye mask on and ear plus in! Managed to get about 5 hours sleep, so not too bad.
I hope everyone has a lovely day in the sun.

Spoke too soon last night - 9yr old couldn't get to sleep because of the heat and popped into my bed at midnight for a chat, then stayed there all night. The 6yr old joined us, plus teddy, at 5.30, so we were up, showered, dressed and out by 9.30 in search of ice lollys, then to the playpark (minus teddy).
Am back from daughter's, where the whole lot of them gathered - total mayhem, half-naked little'uns running about the garden, the 12yr old and his friend setting fire to bits of paper and plastic with a magnifying glass and the sun, and the grown-ups nattering to each other. Love it, but am now shattered and contemplating a wee snooze.

I have to confess that MrS and I watched Eurovision last night, and we really enjoyed it, in a very weird way! Yes, some of the songs and the acts themselves were dire, but it was compelling, I have to say. We put the radio on while all the voting was taking place, and then came back to see that poor Engelbert (who actually did nail his song) had been bombed out! No surprise, of course, Eurovision is totally political now, and it's nothing to do with the songs. I am NOT watching it next year!
Maddy: I agree, Cliff was robbed of first place - Congratulations was a brilliant song, and so right for Eurovision.
AliB: good to hear the Street Pastors was quiet - as you say, it must be really weird going home at dawn.
Annie: lovely story about the teddy - bless your wee grandson. I remember MsS being quite obsessed with her "blankie" - she would be distraught if she couldn't find it - and she remembers this clearly!
Sezza: sounds like you had a great day yesterday - just lovely.
KKS: nice to see you!
Busy day ahead - have to catch up with the housework, though all the washing is up to date - thanks to the beautiful weather, I got it all dried outside yesterday. And, then, there is the little matter of getting ready to go out later this afternoon for an early dinner with my daughter and my sister, and then on to ... Westlife! So looking forward to it, and then we'll be saying goodbye to them for good when we see them again in June. Well, that is, until they realise they have made a HUGE mistake, and they re-form!
Have a lovely Sunday, everyone.

I agree the song contest is completely political, Graham was saying that Engelbert had been forgotten as he sang first but it's all about us in Britain not being popular since the Iraq war.
I'm now going to embarrass you know who :) He also had a blankie (the blanket he was wrapped in to come home) and wouldn't go to sleep without it.
I'm very jealous of you going to see Westlife and then again in June. Enjoy and don't forget to sing along.

Another excuse is that Daisy the cat is asleep on her favourite armchair instead of her usual place of on top of the bush in the garden and so she won't be happy when the vacuum cleaner comes out.
You deserve to enjoy yourself tonight.
Right! I'm going to pull myself together and get it done. Daisy will have to go back to her bush outside (I will join her later).

I spent the weekend up near Milton Keynes, we travelled up to play Collingtree Park Golf Club after winning a free (well if you discount our bid!) round of golf. The charity that received our money was CinN so a winner all round for me. The course was great and the weather was very, very hot. I was exhausted by the end of it if I am honest and still suffering just a little...... Still a good cause and great weekend!

I am assuming that Mr Evans is busy elsewhere?! When I switched on the radio this morning, I was fully expecting to hear RA! Not long to go now, for Tash, hopefully.
Bingo: you may be right with 1st June, but I am going with tomorrow - same date as my lovely Dad's birthday!
I have absolutely nothing to report, everything is just trundling along - but in a good way!
Hope you all have a good day.

Another lovely sunny day here.
Baby Evans only has one more day to make his appearance before the Hay festival on Friday. Maybe this is what he's waiting for as he wants to be a writer when he grows up.
Congratulations on the 50th post CSN! I would have joined you and MBD but I lost my internet connection last night. I was trying to get back until I finally gave up, did the same things today and got back straight away.
I was going to say more but have forgotten what it was.

Hard getting onto the blog today ,but got here in the end .So are you all enjoying this lovely weather that we are having at present ,nice eh!!!
Did catch some of the show this AM where Chris said he thinks something might be happening on the baby front ,I do hope so for Tash's sake ,she must be right fed up by now.
Not been posting for a few days ,but have been reading posts so still around but not posted as I've got a bit of a poorly shoulder and it's giving me jip and I'm trying to rest it .And when you are mostly a one handed typer it's a bit difficult to try with your other hand ,my lovely mum always did say that I was awkward ,being left handed and all .
Crissie ,thank you for missing me in the mornings ,I promise bulletins will resume ASP ;-))
Well good luck Tash if it is today ,And I hope the wee one comes quick ..
Take care all and enjoy the rest of your day .Bids.xxx.

I went out at lunchtime to pick up an "under the arm" briefcase that my boss had inadvertently left in a client's office. I said: no problem, I'll pick it up, and then go and pick up my lunch. Not a chance - it weighed about two tons - I had to come all the way back to the office, drop it off, and then head out for my lunch. Walked about a mile ... now that's got to be a good thing, eh?! How he carries that about with him every day, is beyond me!
Ooooh, I really hope the lack of Chris means that Tash is being very busy at the moment!

Nice to see you Tiggs, glad you're ok.
Bids, poor you with a sore shoulder. Us left-handers have to put up with so much, don't we? My sore thumb will be shown around to those in Edinburgh in June - it's pretty disgusting now - and it's on my left hand which is a bummer.
CSN, hope the family member gets good results.
Chrissie, I sympathise with the underarm bag - I can barely lift 12yr old's schoolbag.
Maddy, you've got our sun, give it back immediately.

And a ps on the 12yr old. He came home on Tuesday with the pocket ripped off his school shirt - what is it with bullys? His Dad has emailed the school so we shall see what transpires.
Did anyone see Dunfermline High School on the One Show last night? I got excited when I heard 'Dunfermline' - thought it was going to be about the Glen and the Peacocks and nice photos of the town. Hopefully those young people will have their lives turned around.

I do hope something is sorted out very soon to put a stop to him being bullied.
Bullying is awful whatever age you are in life, but I always feel it's far worse for a child to have to cope with it at a very young age.

I do hope there is some news of baby Evans soon!
We made it - finally! The Island is beautiful, especially in this sunshine! I keep trying to remember to take the camera out with me when I walk the dog, and I will do better and put more on fb to make you all very jealous!
The boy is already settled in the schools integrated nursery, and has started in 'big' school for one morning a week, with the other two kids in his year, yes two!
So not only have we moved from one end of the country to a very small island community, gone self employed (well t'other has anyway), but I'm expecting baby no. 2 just after the boy's 5th Birthday as well!!
I'll be back a bit more often now we're settled (kinda, I'll explain another time!)

Great to see you Eb - your photos look amazing -and it seems you are settling in well
As for Tash's baby - I think she needs to hang on another week so that CLP can do the Hay tomorrow and the Palace thing too - cross your legs Tash!
and I think I may be the only person in the UK who is not doing anything jubiliee-ee, in fact I dont even know what is happening/when! Doh, need to get on line and figure it out.
Loved Noahs "hello sunshine" this morning too :-)
right best get a wiggle on - oh perfect CLP has just run down what is happening when on the tele! Only thing he didnt mention is when/what he is doing from the Palace - anyone know?

MC-The Olympic flame will be in Birkenhead tomorrow so we're planning to do a bit of shopping and then watch it after 5.45. There's sports and fitness going on in Birkenhead Park but that's not really me unless there's a scooter race.
