Son Sam went into town on Tuesday to get a sack of potatoes from the market, he asked if I wanted anything else, so I asked him to look out for Sevilles, but there were none on the market so he got them from the shop, I'd asked for 5kg. Didn't get round to doing anything about them till Thursday evening and my usual plan would be to do the cutting and cooking one evening and the sugar/finishing the next, so I got on, and washed as I weighed - just under 8lbs(?) I thought it a bit strange but hey ho, maybe he hadn't enough money, anyway he was at work so I couldn't ask. Friday afternoon he waltzed in with an armfull more he'd found rolling round the floor of his van

. . . . . so I made him do the preparing, but by the time that was cooked it was too late to do any more, Saturday I was working and out at night and this morning I was working again, when I got home today I got cracking with it, added the sugar and it was just about at boiling point when he came in again with another 6 q11

Punishment this time involved cleaning the bathroom and hoovering the stairs

It's now boiling and waiting for setting point to be reached, if he finds any more he can stick them where the sun doesn't shine
