For a minute I thought 'furry girls' was a euphomism

Tonight's supper was gammon, those lovely biiiig mushrooms (the sort that are around 5 inches across) and some home made oven chips.

Spent the afternoon touching up the sewing on a set of show drapes that I want to use at the Supreme show weekend after next. (It's the cat equivalent of Crufts). Haven't used the drapes in a few years so they needed a wee bit of tidying up.

I am now going to go back and have another go at putting the seat covers on. The problem I have is trying to work out how to fix the little metal clippy clip things on the elastic straps and where under the seats they should go!!

Any where is the answer.

I think you are right!

I still haven't finished fitting the covers!
I performed some great contortions with my head upside down on the floor in the footwells and my arms under the seats so I could attach the elastics to each other using the little metal clippy clip things.
I'm going to have to cut holes in the back covers for the front seats to get them over the head rests and re-sew the fabric, because, it turns out, head rests can't be removed on a Fiat Panda without a specialist Fiat Panda 2 pronged tool thing. I'm also going to have to cut and re-sew holes in the back bench seat cover for the seat belt catches which will be harder because they're not near a seam. It also turns out that the back seat doesn't tip up in a Fiat Panda so I can't pass the elastics through to hold the cover in place. I've managed to attach the elastics with the little metal clippy clip things to each other around the edges instead.

Makes me wonder whether those seat covers are worth the bother...

My colleague goes to Slimming World every week and so far has lost almost 2 stones but she is struggling bless her, not as easy thing to do.

Two of my colleagues are on diets and refer to their evening swimming World meetings as going to " Fat Club"! "

Morning everyone.

My chickens laid 98 eggs last week. 1 of them (at least) was a double yolker!

Earlier this year I bought two dozen eggs on YS... Every single one was a double yolker LOL

BTW, you do know that you can freeze eggs. Crack, whisk & pour into suitable container.

Well it's rather lovely and warm outside here on the beach.

Meanwhile we still have a mouse loose in the house. We did chase it around yesterday but failed to catch it so a humane trap has been set. Sasha spotted it yesterday but just stated at it. How she managed to catch it in the first place I will never know.

Morning, I've got a blood test this morning. I was also thinking of fitting a new set of disc brake pads to my wife's car today but I'm now wondering how windy it's going to be.

Good morning all, off to the warm beach shortly, for a few days of pampering, good food, and fresh air. I will be leaving the internet behind, so the fantasists, bigots, liars, trolls, Potsy and the plain deluded will just have to get by without me.

I'm just trying to decide which one best suits me.

I usually have radio 2 on in the kitchen but yesterday evening I had Classic FM on, so when I turned on the radio this morning, I was treated to a rousing Prussian March.

We're being over protective. Miss K is a student and won't be able to park outside where she lives. We're not expecting much in the way of cleaning!

 

[Levo-Lon]

Off up the smoke.
Thinking Southwark area today for a change and a river trip.
Wish me luck, see ya later

Did you join in and where did you end up?
