There was a sweet little note from Melvyn this morning to say that he'd love to try out my strawberry and Tia Maria.
I knew I shouldn't have started making jam at that time of night.
It was a disaster.
I'd just got the whole lot off to a good rolling boil when I realized that mother had been at the Tia Maria.
There was less than a thimble full left.
I'll be lucky to get fifty pence a jar for it now and that'll just leave the field wide open for Bet Simpson to run off with all the awards for her bloody Victoria sponges, straight from Marks and Spencer I shouldn't wonder.
I wouldn't mind but she has everyone drooling over her flower arrangements ever since she got a Highly Commended at some obscure Flower Show.
The last time I did the flowers she came up to me and said, "Ah chrysanthemums, such serviceable flowers I always think."
It was all I could do not to shove the bloody things up her nose while telling her that I seen The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and that she was long past hers.
I shouldn't let it bother me, but I hope one day she comes out of the Library, falls under the weight of her self improvement books and breaks her bloody hip.
Knowing my luck of course she'll die and I'll have to stomach a load of people at her funeral saying, "she was a wonderful woman."

Home Truths
Bubby is an 88 year old grandmother who started her internet career just a few months ago and now has an award winning blog dishing out good old fashioned advice to all and sundry.
I don't know about you but I have the feeling that Bubby was stitched together at a Quilting Bee.
Personally I prefer TJ's place. He is a DJ in a strip joint. His neighbour has a dog called Patches and he has been training his dog to kill it.
Another good one is " Bread coffee Chocolate and Yoga. It would seem to be hosted by a Dadaist or maybe a Charismatic who can write in tongues.
I'll tell you, if you think your in danger of loosing the plot spend some time surfing blogs you will be assured of your sanity in no time.
Well I must blog off, I've got a kitchen full of strawberries and 12lbs of jam to make for the Rural's Silent Auction. People have been know to bid as much as five pounds for a jar of my Strawberry and Tia Maria.
