Bright start to the day, although cloud moves across later. The wall around the bus garage in Inaclete Road has now been pulled down and new gates were being put in this morning. Mrs B is plagued by flies in the kitchen, which come in from the backyard. The insects are attracted by the ingredients for the fruitsalad - have a look at this recipe
Boil half a pint of water with 3 ounces of sugar
Allow to cool
Add the juice of half a lemon
Add the following fruits in cubed form:
Melon
Apple
Orange
Pear
Grapes
Banana
Other fruits include peaches, mangoes, papaya and pineapple. Serves 4, keeps for max 3 days, but replace the bananas after 2.
A lady arrives off the plane who is due to visit the primary school in the morning. She is pointed in the right direction. I pay a flying visit to Somerfields. I'm not venturing outside, after this morning's one hour coughing bout. Dinner tonight is sweet and sour. Mrs B was expecting a guest, who does not turn up. He had booked into a cheaper establishment, but had not bothered to cancel his first booking. Nice. He was "doing" the islands by bike. May his punctures be numerous. We've had some fun and games with cyclists this summer. Won't easily forget the wimp that buzzed off on the ferry to his wife after a wet run up from Tarbert. At least that one did cancel. Evening passes quietly.
Postscript: I was going to add pictures, but now it's AOL Pictures that's having problems. OMG. I'll alert y'all when things are back to normal. Erm, June 31st?
Postscript 2: Promised I'd insert the pictures in the entry. Too much hassle. Made a separate entry. Sorry.
The fruit salad sounds delicious! ;)
ReplyDeleteHate when someone doesn't show respect to others, as in canceling the reservation! :(
AOL...what can I say!

Sounds like a wonderful recipe! Thank you for sharing it. How rude of that man to NOT cancel his reservation! How hard would it have been....a phone call?? Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteHave a good evening.

If you have potential guests (I'm assuming you have something like a bed and breakfast?) give a credit card # when booking, and tell them they must cancel 48 hrs in advance or be charged for the room (or maybe half) they may not do you that way!
