But the coffee mugs are so much more beautiful than your old hosepipe? I saw a lovely bright pink advertised some time ago - just can't remember where - would love love love to have one.

At least you'll be able to recognise it if it disappears into someone else's garden.

Not sure if there are any mugs left... I'm onto cold drinks by now. I made some passion fruit cordial from pulp I still had in the freezer. Luvverly with water and lots of ice.

Considering trying for a nanna nap while the house is quiet - the cubs were somehow able to get up before 2 and went with Mrs. T. Probably the Xmas money from granny and other relatives burning holes in their pockets.

Kit hen all neat and tidy, but since I'm not in it at the moment, it'll prolly be a mess on next visit.

Forgot to buy something, on my merry merry way to shopping hell.

Place pulp in a stainless steel pot - seeds and all. Add the juice of 1 lemon for every 2 cups of pulp. 1 cup of water per 2 pulp as well. Sugar to taste. I use about 1 cup so sugar to 3 / 4 cups of pulp. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 20 minutes. Strain through a sieve and bottle. Keep in fridge unless you're prepared to do the whole proper sterilisation thing.

I think you need to grab the bright yellow mug before JC gets hold of it. Might cheer you up a little.

Talking of New Year.........to this day my best ones were when I was very, very small. Just me and my Granny playing would you believe Black Jack............I learnt young.... all the grown ups were out........having what I thought at the time was a good night. Must have been between 3 and 10 years old.

It's quite concentrated, by the way - use sparingly, or increase the ratio of water and sugar.
