First the fudge-
Fudge....
(Space for photo if there is any left...)
Take a 12oz tin of condensed Milk , 12oz of white chocolate chips, two handfuls of mini marshmallows , a greased lined pan, a microwave and a very keen daughter ....
first allow daughter to open can, decant milk (whilst watching her like a hawk to avoid premature testing) into a glass dish add chocolate chips stir well (whilst watching her like a hawk to avoid premature testing) microwave for 90 secs (plus a bit if necessary) stir well add marshmallows (whilst watching her like a hawk to avoid premature testing) pour into pan leave in cold place to set.
Allow child to deal with spoon and bowl!It's a cheat fudge recipe and not health food but sooooooo yummy.
Then the Fat Bike...(very necessary after eating the fudge)
It's orange...it has 4" fat tires, wonderful gears...it's a Snow bike and it's true love....She was a Christmas present from My OH and he got himself a Green one (A Sturgis...mine's a Fantom)
and she is brilliant fun... I'm well spoilt. It's also quite tiring so after a ride I need a cuppa and a sit down so onto the the works of Mr. Christopher Fry

Well after all that I better go do some chores ...those of the exciting kind are waiting (the fridge is well overdue for a scrub out as is the rest of the house...drat) So I'll just find a good radio play and see how I get on. Must remember to take photo of remaining fudge and NOT eat it ...or I'll be is so much trouble with the younger generation.

A witty verse play that retells the "Matron of Ephesus" from the 1st century AD Satyricon of Gaius Petronius.
The comedy is set in a most unlikely setting - a tomb. As the play begins, we meet the slave, Doto, who is watching over her sleeping mistress, Dynamene, a young widow of Ephesus. Dynamene is on day three of a hunger strike in her husband's tomb. The two women are determined to die so they can follow the deceased to the Underworld.
They are interrupted in their vigil by a young soldier, Tegeus, who is supposed to be guarding the bodies of dead prisoners hanging on trees outside the tomb. He marvels at what he sees as the ladies' noble gesture - and is also smitten by the widow's beauty.
To whom conferr'd a peacock's undecent
A squirrel's harsh, a phoenix too frequent.
From Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy, quoting the ancient Roman poet Martial
Cast: Sarah Badel [Dynamene], Gawn Grainger [Tegeus / Chromis] and Patsy Rowlands [Doto]
Produced and directed by Jane Morgan
