My kitchen is clean... maybe not behind the stove, but out of sight, out of mind.   Hey, B.  

My dear bro it doesn't matter if things are out of sight you're still out of your mind 🤪

 

Mum and I house cleaned her garage yesterday.

I might trade a little noise for that quiet around here. What I wouldn't give for the sound of my son thumping up and down the stairs, or his PS game system booming with gunfire and explosions that I can hear in my bedroom. God, I even miss the sound of his hour long showers.   

Take care and be safe, Caz.  

Hour long showers? What in the world was he doing ... 😯 ... never mind that, more importantly just how big is your hot water heater?

Dad vaccumed the garage this morning... Being housebound can really damage some people...

It was only a couple of scenes and the start of another one, but yeah, it was really upsetting. Not the first time for me either.   Hey, Cassie.  

Were they steamy sex scenes, if so perhaps your computer decided to censor them.

No. Actually, one scene had kitties in them.   Hey, bro and Mum.  My gardening so far? I stared at my water trough planter. for a couple of minutes... stared at the shoots from Tiger Lilies in front of my tack room... found another smaller planter and put rocks in the bottom of it... and then stared at it. All done.

I had a 55 minute walk. Chilly day, but it was good. Have to keep moving.

Busy little bee, weren't you?

It started raining whilst I was out in the garden of the new, old house, so I went inside and took another 500 grammes of wild blackberries from the freezer and made some jam.

That tall jar is a standard one pound (454 gramme) jam jar.

I'll pop back in a couple of hours if it's not raining too heavily to check the the centre of the lids have popped down. If any haven't, that (those) will be the jar(s) to open and use first.  But I've never had a jar not do that with me yet. 

When I was leaving the house, I checked to see if there was any water dripping in from inside the front door. None visible, but it will probably need a lot more heavy rain than this to be 100% sure the builder has cured the leak.

That's a great movie. The book is good, too.

Just Googled it, and it looks as though it would be worth watching.

There's a British play and film called The History Boys that some of you may like if you've not already seen it.

The film is a 2006 British comedy-drama film adapted by Alan Bennett from his play of the same name, which won the 2005 Olivier Award for Best New Play and the 2006 Tony Award for Best Play.

The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures named The History Boys one of the Top Ten Films in its 2006 awards. The film was nominated for the 2007 GLAAD* Media Award for Outstanding Film – Limited Release. Richard Griffiths (who played "Hector" - the boys' very camp General Studies teacher) and Frances de la Tour (who played the boys' regular History teacher) received BAFTA nominations for Best Male Actor and Best Female Actor, respectively.

Not that the trailer really does the film justice (at least as far as I'm concerned):

I think I've seen it at the library. I'll have to check it out when the library reopens.

Blackberry jam is one of my favorites, actually it is my favorite as it's the one I typically have on hand though orange marmalade runs a near second.

My favourite is raspberry. As a child I preferred strawberry, but am not as fond of it any more.

I love Raspberry also we grow our own

I love grape jelly. Sometimes, when I'm lazy, I'll make a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich for lunch. With a glass of milk.

If I were allowed out to the garden centre, I would buy some raspberry canes for the new garden. And some blackcurrant (and maybe redcurrant) bushes. Oh, and a root or two of rhubarb, as well! Not to mention a few apple trees (and maybe a pear). Looks like the majority of those may have to be on next year's shopping list.  

[EDIT: Fortunately I have a number of strawberry plants in tubs]

I just made tortilla pizza with jarred tomato sauce, yellow sweet pepper, old cheddar, kolbassa sausage, and parmesan cheese. They were sooo good.
