Looks good......did they not bring you an osthoevel to attack it with?!

Literally a "cheese plane".

They are available in UK, but I am very surprised that they have not caught on more here.

You will find them in specialist cook shops and, trying not to sound like I am in their pay, in the market hall at Ikea!

On Amazon too.....

We have a couple of them, Kjell, but the one we got in Sweden about 38 yrs ago still is the best that we have!!

Been a strange few days. On Thursday evening Margaret broke a front tooth. It was actually a crowned tooth but we think the actual remains of the tooth has broken! Next day we trot off to the dental practice we have used for 40 years (private practice). After an hour and a half she had not been seen so we decided that we would chance our luck an return on Tuesday when our dentist was back from holiday. When we phoned them later I think they had realised we had not been treated very well so on Tuesday we have a proper appointment rather that an emergency.one. Because its a front tooth Margaret is very embarrassed! We are due to go away soon so we have no idea how long it will take to sort out so we risk becoming CMC cancellation statistics! 

Today I was invited by my eldest son to a football match at Stadium MK with his father in law who comes from Brazil. It was a bit of a local derby as we were playing Peterborough. Unfortunately they completely outclassed the MK Dons and we went down to a 4-0 defeat. All this in punishing 31 degree heat! I think I put a jinx on any football match I watch live! I doubt I will go to another live match unless its MK Dons v Southampton. At least that way I will be happy with who ever wins!!!

Tg, we booked it through the club, getting a cheaper fare with ITX (which we can't use now).

The voucher can only be used by booking direct with BF even though it was sent via the club.

We'll have to see if savings worthwhile but I might use it for a quick trip to see my brother who lives in Brittany. A pleasant surprise.

Thanks, hope you manage a trip to see your brother soon.

Glorious day, so it's silage time once again. Yesterday I baked a load of cakes to put in lunch boxes (plainish and travel proof - no fancy decorations).

As soon as the shops open I'm off to Booths at Kirkby Lonsdale to stock up with cold meat and pies etc.

Then this afternoon daughter, middle grandson and aged dog arrive for a few days.

Hopefully there will be time ti sit out on the patio and read/rest.

Nice photo Goldie. Farming is a constant occupation 😉 and like the rest of life so much nicer when the weather cooperates! Have a great time with the family.

Milliehull and DavidKlyne I expect our DIL celebrated yesterday's win. The previous  week son and DIL went to watch the game at Peterborough against Ipswich.  He's always loved his football, and team physio was his aim - but an internship helped him decide against it, luckily it was a draw 😉. I had said how what was he going to do if Ipswich scored/won? His reply was contain myself! I knew they had seats in the home stand 😂😂

Another bright and warm start to the day here,  sun breaking through. Been another heavy dew and you can feel the season beginning to turn........

Enjoy your day folks.

Glorious start to the day,again , it is expected to be even hotter than yesterday,,the family who arrived yesterday said they were expecting to see more free roaming animals ,but as we said they are not stupid and are in the shade of the forest, but that means there are not the "tempory"road blocks on the forest roads there would be if it was coolercool

Day off today, smile will go and see Mum first. Get a few bits of shopping, before coming home for lunch.

Then go out on the bikes this afternoon for a nice ride.

"Weather has been lovely and it's hotting up for the weekend,"

 

Aaargh! Helen - how could you? yell

That phrase is one of my pet hates when Madame Kirkwood uses it! It may be getting hotter,  it may be heating up,  but it's definitely not "hotting up". Unless, of course, in October it's going to be "colding down"! laughinglaughing

embarassed Apologies Moulesy. Will try and improve my English winklaughing
