THE FIRST CAKE Last week a friend delivered a surprise birthday cake - with the Argus SIngers as the theme. Five minutes later the four horsemen of the Apocalyse arrived following Boris's statement! Happy days ;). THE SECOND CAKE Orange and Almond Torte. This is the one I was planning on bringing to our social in April. I've added the recipe so you can make it for yourselves :) It's delicious.

Day 2 of self isolation - been told that as of Monday all lollipoping duties suspended till further notice, turns out I should not have been in work anyway because of my age(71)bit late when I had been at work all week, but at least being paid.
Will start garden grass needs cutting etc. Have learned a new skill party house chat with family keep in touch with grandchildren realy funny when I do something wrong well I am new to this technology. Well that's enough for now stay safe. Hello all
As I am trying to organise my day and evenings & thought I would share this small idea with all of you. I put a concert together from u tube of Beethoven, Elgar & Glinka & watched it on the TV. Neil & I had a meal first & I had changed into some better clothes (you have to be careful not to slob around all the time). We even gave ourselves a 20 minute interval! Wine was included too. This Saturday would have been Harrogate Choral Concert - so I have selected the pieces we were singing on youtube & we will be watching them. Neil will have to put up with my warbling as I am worried my voice will deteriorate by not singing for a long time. We have decided to do this every weekend plus a movie once a week & we will add opera onto the list. Berlin Philharmonic & New York Met Opera are doing live (recorded live) streamings you can access on smart equipment. I think a structured time table is key to help our sanity. Keep well & strong. Anyone can face time or ring me. Val. I am not making an exciting offering - however here goes.
I know it is cold, but the sun has been shining. I have been gardening, which has attracted the attention of two rabbits, who seem to think my efforts are just for them. If I had a gun they may not be quite so appreciative. The squirrel who comes every year, sometimes with a mate has been happily digging up the lawn looking for his/her store of nuts. I think I have a blackbird nesting in the hedge, which provides me with a lovely song just outside my window. In other words I think Spring has arrived. From Judith Cole
19/3/2020 I think this is a great idea of Helen's and i thank her for setting it up so we can all chat, exchange news or anything else to keep us entertained and occupied during this difficult time. Please everyone join in. Some of you know already my news, but many dont, it is that our daughter Deborah is expected a baby 2nd September so by the time we meet again in September (hopefully) i'll be a Grandma. Deborah used to come to The Argus Singers creche when she was a baby! Where have the 33years gone? We're thrilled but obviously a bit anxious due to the virus. Keep well everyone and tell us your news or how you're filling in your time. Love Judith Cole |
