Yesterday we all slept late into the morning...There was still some snow around but then in the afternoon it started lashing down with rain...Just as i was out back into town to the market to get more smellies and scarves...When i got home we all went round to my best friends for a while...We actually stayed there for several hours rather than just the couple intended...I did pop briefly to asda and left my lot there to get some gammon steaks and some lemon juice...Wasn't sure if the lemon juice i had would still be any good...My best friends partner is into astronomy hence us staying later...M loves the stars, planets etc...So Nat had already set up the binoculars on tripod to get a closer look at the moon...After her fella had taken his other son home he set up his telescope on another tripod...He has quite a good telescope with several different magnification lenses...It was fascinating seeing the craters on the moon...It was also fascinating seeing on a more powerful lens the mountains on the moon and craters within craters...Me and M also looked at some different constellations and we saw Saturn...Never seen saturn before and although a bit blurry you could see the rings :o) ...We went round at 3.30 and didn't get home till 8.30 LOL...Very late dinner we had yesterday.
After we had dinner i started on making the turkish delight...First lot went in the bin as it was a gloopy mess...Usually do end up putting first lot in the bin <sigh> ...I also ended up having to go out in middle of the night to buy more sugar as i ran out of grrrr...Eventually i did get one lot made of each flavour i make...Left it all overnight to set...So i have been cutting it up today which is not pleasant LOL...Pulling jelly out of a tray with oil in it is so messy...Then have to cut it up, i use electric carving knife now LOL, and roll in icing sugar/cornflour...One bit gloopy mess but worth it for those that like it :o) Just need to package it now and get it all posted tomorrow as it's last posting day for christmas...Then i have to do it all again tomorrow night for those it doesn't get posted to LOL
Whilst i was in town renewing the boys concessions bus passes and paying a bill K went out...Goodness knows where she has gone and she ain't answering her new moby <sigh> I want to get the tree up tonight and she's supposed to be helping...It looks weird having the decorations up with no tree in the window yet...Oh i did see some blue lights today but they were too expensive so decided sod it not buying at that price LOL...Had a look at the all new robbie williams website earlier today...He has a blog on it that inner sanctum members can read LOL...It is quite funny, shame you can't leave comments <ggg> Also as a member you got a freebie T-shirt and i got mine about 3-4 weeks ago...In the post on saturday i got another and am not sending it back...Would have no idea where to anyways besides it is only a t-shirt...So both the boys are getting one in with their christmas...Am sure am probs not only one they made same mistake with...Also on the site you can now see wot his signature is like...So i went and checked M's signed pic...Well unless you are actually getting it done right in front of you then you never know wether tis authentic or not...Am pleased to say that M's does match up :o) Right best go make the boys some tea and get cutting up cellophane and warpping up the turkish delight...Am always wary that a packet will split open in the post office and they will be grilling me over what this white powder is ROFL

The moon is amazing at the moment isn't it?
Wow at seeing the planets Caff, I think winter solstice is coming up they should get a brilliant view. Happy Christmas tree putting up day. Rache xx
lol at white powder at Post Office Caff! When I worked for them I found some of what seemed like an illegal substance. Naturally I had to hand it over to management who confirmed it was VERY illegal! I never found out what happened to it...but I`m pretty sure it wasn`t anything to do with turkish delight....lol! :o)

Lovely entry again Cath busy as usual lol ,imagine seeing the moon can understand Ms fasination ,laughed at your white powder thought ,be careful dont want you locked up for Christmas do we ?Reminds me my bus pass will soon need renewing ............Jan xx
I know what you mean - unless something is signed in front of you, it is a bit dubious to buy it!! Glad M's matches. Glad the turkish delights went well. The star gazing sounds interesting I didn't realise there are mountains on the moon!!
