Humph. All we've had today is cold and rain! Walked the dogs in the rain and had car picnic in the pouring rain. Heating, fire, jumpers and blankets on now.


But I'm glad for you and like both those things! Sooooo want to see the sun and have a holiday...but think we'll have to give it a miss again this year.

I'm feeling particularly humphy this evening as Remus has chewed the handles off one of our hobbyhorses.

I love lidl! There is a huge one near my mums, and they sell those lovely soft ginger biscuits i'd only ever previously found in Germany.

Also sell dirt cheap and really decent horsey things! plus points from me

Bargains Pat. I like the hello kitty top. I like Lidl and I know the cheese you mean Jenny mmmmm.
There smoked hams are lovely too and we are also a fan of their muesli, chocolate and wine.

Ahh things have changed since I left the UK. Where I am usually staying in pish posh Bath they are too pincy poncy to have a Lidls, or a Primark, there was in fact almost a whole town fit of the vapours when a 'poundshop' opened up just before last Christmas lol! Last one I used regularly was in Penzance before they opened up here. I thought Cyprus was unique in them having fresh bakery section - seems they all have that now (I like those sickly apple turnovers!)

And I am now INTRIGUED about your hobbyhorses. Please elaborate on this for me. I must know!

Well I doubt we'll ever get 'horsey stuff' as hardly any horsies here. More than half the specials are always TOOLS, boring TOOLS, Cypriots love TOOLS - they had chainsaws in today. One big complaint about them opening here was not enough of the 'German stuff' and NO BRATWURST! Their bratwurst is a favourite. And they don't sell it here! Probably scared they'll be firebombed by the local butchers. In fact their meat products aren't cheaper than other shops here. That's no doubt for a good reason - took them SEVEN YEARS to get permission to open up and they've stuck them in the back of an awkward place to get to involving you going back on yourself to get there and away from there whichever direction you come from.

Oh why didn't I remember that luxury muesli? I'm definitely going back tomorrow now. I could kill for a bowl of that RIGHT NOW.

Tangutica, it's nothing kinky...just the girls hobby horses that Santa brought them!

I love their Bratwurst We have them with German mustard - they only kind i'll eat

Oh I see - It's dawned on me now what a 'hobbyhorse' is - the pole with a horse's head on it. I know someone who collects old ones. An ex boyfriend of my daughter.

That's a shame - bad bad doggy!

LOL! checking weekly Lidl special offers is one of my hobby
