Mama Mia.............

You know you're getting old when you completely forget you have booked tickets for this show!!!! Let me explain back in 2006 around the time I retired a friend at work was organising a block booking. I booked tickets as Embee and I both enjoy ABBA music; what's more I even put it on the computer calendar ~ now I know you are impressed!
So far so good.....however, since then my brain has gone to mush and I completely forgot all about this little treat we had in store....even when I saw the show advertised it still did not jog my memory....when my friend Debbie rang on Sunday evening and said 'about tickets for Mama Mia' I was still blank.... she must have sensed my hesitation...'you have tickets' she said.... suddenly the lights went on!!!!!! and that's where we went yesterday evening.
It was an excellent show, this production was slightly different from the original that we saw in London not long after it opened. Sam took us that time as my birthday treat and she had organised champagne and canapés~ she knows how to please her mother!!

When we got home and I checked my emails there was a reminder from my calendar about the show!!!

I had hoped for a little more response to my post yesterday. Enidd did well she named ten different vinegars. I will close this at the end of today so if you want to join in go back and comment on yesterday's post.

Hint # 1
Home:
Wood cleaning Solution (you probably know this one):
3 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoonful liquid soap or detergent
Few drops of olive oil

Combine ingredients in a bowl, saturate a sponge, squeeze out excess and wash surfaces. The smell of vinegar will disappear in a few hours. (Store safely)

Miscellaneous:
Getting rid of fruit flies:
Put a bowl of cider vinegar out to attract fruit flies. The same can be achieved by washing windows in cider vinegar,, but that's probably not the effect you want.
If this attracts the flies but doesn't kill them, put one teaspoon of sugar, two teaspoons of cider vinegar and several drops of washing up liquid in a small container. Fill up with water. Flies are attracted to the vinegar, but the soap kills them.(this is one I will be using once the flies return!)

Perking up cut flowers:
Keep flowers fresh for longer by adding two tablespoons of vinegar and one tablespoon of sugar to each litre (2 pints) of water.
