Bottling it up

I decided to bottle some peaches as I did some last year with a little brandy and they were yummy beyond yummy. I couldn't find the book I used last time as I think it was something I took out of the library so I followed some instructions on line. The problem was (there usually is one) the juice all flowed down the sides of the jars leaving them half empty. Come here little bacteria .... lovely peaches in hardly any syrup for you to enjoy. I am going to the market later today so I will buy some more peaches and start again and feed the gone wrong ones to my Mr Smith and see if he dies from botulism.

Only a week til our Canadian trip. One good thing is I am a lot thinner but my clothes still don't really fit and I haven't quite made it to the promised "stone lost before Canada" but I dare say lots of Canadians are fat so they won't stare at me in too horrified a fashion.

I made X Box work all by myself! It took me three days of pressing buttons and following wires. I don't want to play video games but I want to do my new dancing DVD - so keen these days. It's great without the Apprentice and Student here but so difficult to work anything technical. Ask Mr Smith? Excuse me while I go and weep with mirth.
