Wallpapering ... You know you want to ...
Tried my hand at this over the week-end ...
It's easier than you think ...
Honest ...
You just need:
Wallpaper
Paste
Scissors
Cloth
Patience
And a real good friend to paste the wallpaper, pass the scissors, cloth, brush, paste, cloth, scissors, paste the wallpaper, pass the scissors, cloth. brush, paste, paste the wallpaper ... and most of all, keep you calm when you come across all those tiny tears and bubbles ...

This Day That Year ...
This day that year would have been Lewis Carroll's birthday :~
real name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (born 27 January 1832 – died 14 January 1898).
English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer, his most famous writings are 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', 'Through the Looking-Glass', 'The Hunting of the Snark' and "Jabberwocky', all examples of the genre of literary nonsense. He is noted for his word play, logic, and fantasy.

Also, this day that year ...
1888 National Geographical Society founded
1302 Dante was exiled from Florence
1970 John Lennon wrote and recorded Instant Karma ...
Although this day this year, I just need a hot deep bath.

Mums in Distress ...Does this sound ok to you ?
Does this sound okay to you?
What say, when our wonderful children have matured some, got a job, social life, fitness regime, transport ... and their own place ...
We call round [when they're out] ... with our friends [facebook a few more before you leave home] ... take some booze [from our other son/daughter's hidden supply] ... get a lift ... [from our other son/daughter] ...pick up other mates on the way ... and arrive ~by driving over the grass and parking on it ... un-announced [that's ok because he/she's out] ...
Turn on the Music ... and Party on ... and on ... and [ the neighbours won't mind] ...
What say we all stay over? ... not bother to clear up [we'd be too tired] ... break a few glasses [they cost nothing] ... spill beer [it'd would wash off] ... have a food fight ... [just for fun] ... forget to vac up the packet of plain flour that someone we didn't really know, dropped on the new carpet ...
What say, we get our other son/daughter to pick us up in the morning, go home, shower, eat breakfast, watch a film then go round to our mates place till supper time ...???
Sounds cool to me ...
And What say ... if the next night ...

Sometimes ... You just need this ...
Sometimes, you just need this ...
With reeeaaaal Butter ........
Question: My washer is stuck with clothes and water in it ... How can I fix this?
Hello Daughter in Distress ... Thank you for your question ...
[Hope your best dress isn't in your washing machine]
When my washer sticks on a cycle, I usually turn the programme onto Rinse & Spin. This usually sorts the job out.
[Sometimes wash loads can unbalance the machine. Overloading doesn't help either]
Hope the Rinse and Spin Cycle works for you.
Good Luck.

Question: How do I make Real Gravy?
Hello Daughter in Distress ...
Thanks for your question: How Do I Make Real Gravy?
Yum, Real Gravy is a must when nothing major to do on a Sunday other than make a roast dinner. Of course, all gravy makers will have their own preferred method and you can make a roast on other days ... but this is how my mum taught me ...
Crumble oxo cube or 2 if you require more gravy into jug.
Add table spoon [or 2] plain flour.
Whisk together with a fork till all lumps vanish.
Add white pepper.
Pour juices from roasting tray into a medium size pan [presume you are roasting some meat / chicken?].

Pour juices from roasting tray into a medium size pan [presume you are roasting some meat / chicken?].
Add cooking water from the vegetables. Heat up.
** [Add wine here - be sure to 'cook the alcohol off' = cook a little longer before mixing]
Fill up the jug with flour/water mix with veg and juices. Stir.
Very Slowly, pour in and stir the contents of the jug into the pan.
Bring to boil - stirring all the time.
Cook on low heat for few minutes [ to ensure flour is cooked ]
Add more salt and pepper to suit your taste.
**You can add red wine at the ** stage ~ especially if serving with beef.
Enjoy!
Jill
