Spring is definitely here,  it's a warm and beautiful day. I can only manage a short post as my online connection keeps disconnecting, the phone company just can't seem to be able to fix my telephone line. Furgus is letting me take his photo while being scratched all without biting, he still has his watch it crazy eyes.  My new book arrived! I usually buy second hand but it was cheaper to buy new how odd.  I've just watched  "Julie and Julia"  the film about the blogger Julie Powell and the cook Julia Child,  I didn't read the book about the blog but her blog is still there to read.  The bottom photo is the boned, stuffed and encased duck that was part of the last dinner in the film. I'll add the link to Julie Powell's old blog when my computers feeling more co-operative.
