Day 93 - The Weak Willow

Woke up in a right old state.....

Maybe it was that last Cobra beer (I shouldn't of had!), the lack of sleep in my sauna of a room, being woken up on the wrong side of dawn or the never ending digesting lamb curry!?

Today has been a right old struggle and I even had to cry off tonight's drink in the Pantiles! So I am sitting here on the sofa enjoying the Commonwealth Games and a cheeky G+T!  It is Friday after all and I can't have a cuppa, just wrong....

My montage photo was from Jazz night....

Smiley Riley, Nat in teaching mode, night over the bandstand and triple trouble!

Don't worry Sarah & Emma, I maybe like a weak willow today but the crumble is done and Prosecco is chilling! #BBQ

The awesome Oak will be back on form tomorrow!

Day 92 - "All that Jazz"

Before anyone says I'm drunk.....I'm not, just tired!!!

So, yes you have guessed - tonight will be brief!

Our first Jazz evening of the summer season, and actually the way my August calender is looking....the last!!!

 

Riley, what a star of the evening, my highlight me and him playing the table drums.....but Chloe and Natalie is the photo of the day!  

Yep, still not a fan of Jazz but another eventful evening in the Pantiles!

Day 91 - The results are in.....

......the votes have been counted and verified!

In last place and going home first is Purple Lady with Nil Points!  

In joint second with five points each are Smokin' Cow and Flip Flops!

And our cheery chappy "namaste" wins the photo-off with seven votes.

Thanks for participating guys!

So today I am fasting and tonight is the only window of opportunity to make my tea loaf and crumble for Sarah and Emma's BBQ on Saturday....I am in some kind of kitchen, food, rumbling stomach nightmare!!  And my banana tea loaf with cranberry and cardamom smells soooooo good!

Actually can't stand it no more and the crumble will have to made on Saturday morning or Friday night after the pub (that could be interesting) - the temptation is too strong.....I have to be honest and admit I did lick the spoon!  Outrageous, I know....

Kitchen is closed!

Day 90 - Your vote counts!!!!

As it's day 90 of the Instagram Journey I thought I would do something a little different today!!

3 months ago I was in India and over the last few days I have been sorting out my photos....so today followers, you decide the photo of the day!

This montage of four photos are some that I really like - so let me know your favourite!

So in the comment field add:

1. Smokin' Cow

2. Namaste

3. Purple Lady

4. Flip Flops

Make sure your voice is heard, your favourite is not safe!!!!

Day 89 - Sunday in Southborough

Firstly I must apologise for my lack of blog content yesterday....but under the influence of coffee cocktails and Prosecco I couldn't function that well.....

I blame the bad influences that live in Southborough :-)

....sorry Auntie!  I did enjoy our Wadhurst wander and the tasty carrot and coriander tart, thank you!  And I liked the hair!!

So I started my Southborough Sunday at the King/Tuvalu residence and we had drinks in the garden while Reggie, in his fetching harness explored and tried to catch insects!

I then picked up Prosecco and wandered along the road to the Punter-Stones, where my second garden party commenced!  I was served "Pasta Puttanesca", a Sarah special which was delicious....however eating pasta with the stench of weed wafting over from the neighbours garden was unexpected!!

So the picture today is of the Southborough kitties....Reg & Joey!

Day 88 - Photographic......

Shouldn't be tiddly on a Sunday.....I apologise for my lack of blog ......

But my photographic Auntie.....is a star!

Goodnight!

Day 87 - She's Every Woman!!

Today I had my London adventure with my very own Rachel Marron! Mum loves London but I did feel a bit like Frank Farmer - guiding her across roads, keeping her out of the way of speeding taxis and monitoring her wine consumption!

We arrived in London at 4 and headed straight to Covent Garden...I should rewrite that and say we headed straight for Prosecco! What a pair of lushes, yep!!!

We had a fab dinner at Cucina Asellina, a trendy Italian restaurant on the Strand. Great decor, nice staff and delicious food....and tasty wine :-)

And so then the reason for our visit - The Bodyguard.

I saw the show last year and for mums birthday present I bought her a ticket as I knew she would enjoy it...in 1992 I took her to see the film at the cinema. 22 years ago, doesn't seem possible!!!

The leading lady when I went last year was (to me) an unknown name, so when I heard Alexandra Burke was playing Rachel I was keen to go again. 

Alex was great - her acting was good, the vocals pitch perfect and she nailed the money note on "I will always love you"......phew!!!!

Ma Tree or my very own "Queen of the night" loved the London adventure .... She is getting quite adventurous!
