April 1st....

Very accomplished prankster this morning, managed to get Steve (unimpressed, raised eyebrows) Jack, (sad woman) Dan, (bit unfair as he was asleep, and is still poorly but i wasn't going to let that trifling matter stop me) and Bex, ( very annoyed and very grumpy, she was in bed too....feigning sleep). No doubt I'll get my comeuppance next month. Sadly I can't play actual 'tricks' on them any more they always 'know' now, but in their youth,well, that was a another matter entirely!!!

I had a lovely game of tennis this morning.... and whilst I was running about the court trying to win Becky was in the kitchen making a Pavlova with AH! Sadly the latter has injured her knee (too much tennis??) and is 'resting' which means she isn't exactly resting....and out of the kindness of her heart gave Bex a cooking lesson making meringue and home-made lemon curd ( ready for Easter Pops!!)
Plus, she already rustled up a traditional Jersey Bean Crock for supper , which has continued to simmer away in my oven all afternoon. So I do think that Bex and I certainly had the better deal of the morning, but I also hope that AH can play a bit of tennis next week, otherwise she'll go stir crazy!!

Took the bull by the horns this morning, and sent Dan to the doctor...underneath his right eye is very swollen, red and sore. Sure enough he has an infection, not entirely sure what type but prescribed two lots of antibiotics. Guess his immune system has been low, and what with the tummy bug (now resolved thank goodness, except he is not eating to his usual capacity, and as I fear for his own well being  he isn't risking the bean crock this evening.....( tasty though it may be)!

You've heard the song 'Feed the birds, tuppence a bag?" well the bag lady of Grouville has been spotted feeding dogs.... Jessie is licking her lips in anticipation!!





First tulip out in the tubs, lots in the garden!

Amazingly early posting today, off to badminton tonight, I feel the need to smash a shuttle or two....
Watch out!!
