Hey Blogger Boy!

Waiting for posts here at home base.........

Check out Betty's popart project - hard to pick it up clearly with the BB but there were no batteries in the camera and time was tight this morning.

Weekly highlights..............
Betty got 6 overhand serves successfully over the net at Thunder last night AND was moving all over the court at Sunningdale VB - keep it up Betty!
Dee got 2 honourable mentions at choir for her singing and memorizing - go songbird!

I am on my way home

I had a monster for dinner!

Oh Mr. Moooooonster!

This is a monkfish.
It is as ugly in person as it looks here.

But pan roasted with some garlic, spanish paprika and chilies......Ooooh baby!  That's monster-lickin'-good!

Close encounters

While sitting at a cafe tonight, a gypsy beggar came up to our table
mumbling in Spanish. We ignored her hoping she would go away.
Determined, she put a paper sign on the table, which presumably
contained her message. But she was standing erect - not bent at the
waist as you might expect.
Then I noticed that her sign was covering my iPhone, which was sitting
on the table. She was trying to palm it.
So I slipped my hand under hers and grabbed my phone, before telling
her to VAMOS!
Close call.

Haagen-Dazs Fondue

Santa Maria! It's a royal idea!

Brunch

Goat cheese and spinach salad.
Mmmmmm.
