Hi elle
We were very lucky our kitchen flooring is sealed to the units and the floor was under about 3" of water so we brushed most of it up and then used old towels to dry it ,so everything is ready for Tuesday I had forgotten how tedious washing up is.I have just finished my book on the Seymour family(Jane Seymour)and am starting one on Agincourt apparently 3,000+french knights and squires died and 2,000+soldiers but our casualties were between 9 to 33!!!

Hi pigale
I only buy the Times on Saturdays, so cannot see the clue .
Just having a coffee break, in the middle of cleaning the conservatory. Phew it is getting too hot in there.

Hi Jazzy,

Yes, conservatories have this tendancy of becoming rather warm !

Clue is Vegetable dish (11) - Rings a bell ?

Hello, Pigale!
I am sorry to be so late in replying to your post! We have been out for much of the day and I have only just read it.
That is the second time that a topical crossword clue has arisen just after we've been talking about that subject!!
Remember "Science Museum" last week!
Weird or what?

Hi, Rusty!
How has your day been ?
I hope you had a good outing with Miss ATW and maybe also your grandson? Which café di you all grace today?
We had a good outing ,but the weather sadlly deteriorated - it didn't go so far as to rain, but it has been dull and dismal - after so much early promise of being a lovely day!
(I'm glad o hear that you went out looking "spruced up", Rusty. I'm assuming it was for the young one's "street cred" rather than for your own??!!)
It sounds as though your Golf is going well?
I haven't had any sport to watch this weekend - I did record "Casualty" though, so will watch that later after we've had dinner.
P. S. it was very clever of the computer to insert an accent over 'café' - did you notice that?

Elle, I think we are psychic!
Could be helpful if only we knew which subject - we seem to talk about so many different things in any one day !

it's becoming a little unnerving, Pigale!!!
Shades of "Big Brother"?
I wonder what it will be next weekend?!

I remember one quiz I entered to support Macmillan cancer. The setter Richard had included jazzgirl, mamya and Mrs Trellis in his clues :)
