STILL NO NEWS..

... regarding the fridge freezer, although a very helpful young man (well he SOUNDED young on the phone) informed me that John Lewis sent a fax to Samsung yesterday (at 3pm precisely) chasing it up on our behalf. (Obviously it wasn't actually John Lewis who sent the fax, although I suppose it could have been, but that would have been a bit of a coincidence.)

Anyway, he assured me that Samsung are usually very prompt with their deliveries and also with their responses to faxes, so hopefully we'll hear something in the next day or so.

I'm just back from a stroll down the lane with the girls, who have sniffed every blade of grass on the way down and on the way back up again, just in case they missed one, so it's taken us a while!

I was checking out the blackberries, but either it's still too early or someone else got there before me, because there was nothing worth picking.

Made a tray of chocolate brownies today in a new tin that has individual squares for traybakes, thus guaranteeing effective portion control. I'm impressed. No more arguing about who gets the biggest now!

Also, on the baking theme - I had a load of helpful information through the post today, including a form to register my business (Aargh!). In fact I actually received TWO envelopes containing exactly the same stuff, so will pass one set onto Helen at the weekend.

We're going to Yorkshire on Saturday, because Mum is having one of her cataracts done on Friday and obviously I want to see how she is, but if she feels up to it I may bring her back here for a while so I can look after her. She's going to make up her mind after the operation, so watch this space for further developments.
