There you both go...

Confusing me again... 

How the flipping heck can you shave a Brussel sprout with a stringed musical instrument?

I'm suspecting you mean shredded Brussels sprouts...

So why don't you just call them that, for f'sake? 

Jimminy-cricket! You Americans with your strange terms...

I found purple potatoes  

I made mini frittatas? White and purple potatoes, chives, egg topped with Moroccan spices in pita bread cases. It was a “use up the pantry items” kind of deal  

The colour was awesome, they leaked purple on the cutting board. Purple Cosmos I think they were called.

No mushrooms Val, it’s safe to come out

The bad news is they are on my shopping list

Good day, everyone!  

Another cool day here in Ireland. Mostly cloudy, although we are promised a little sun. I might turn over another few rows of soil for my new vegetable garden in the evening, but first I intend to do some very covidiot-free shopping for a few essential items of fresh produce and other groceries.

I'm also slowly moving items from my rented accommodation to my new, old house, as I intend giving my landlord his month's notice towards the end of the week. The monthly automatic transfer of the rent from my bank to his is due next Monday, so I will let him know that once that payment has been made I will log into my online banking and cancel the Standing Order.

In the meantime, here's a photo I took when I was out hillwalking on my 65th birthday getting on for 8 years ago:

Hey, Marty.  So easy to see why it is called "The Kiss."

I'm doing okay. I was up at dawn, did my chores, but didn't feel well, so I went back to bed and slept three hours. Feel much better now... it's cool here, but sunny.

Hey, B.   Mine too. Cookie used to sleep with my son most of the time, and now she sleeps with me. She doesn't bother me, but I'm always aware of letting her out to do her business. I can't remember the last time I had six hours of uninterrupted sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling, listening to the sounds of an empty house. It sucks!

Mine too.    Instead of settling down at night to sleep, I do the exact opposite.  Just when I'm about to fall asleep, I end up wide awake.  The melatonin seems to be helping, though.  The last couple of nights have been better.

Glad you're feeling better  I'm not feeling well either.  My sinuses are bothering me.
