Same thing with Bretagne in France

Many years ago, a Welsh friend of mine told me about a holiday he had in France. Not speaking any French himself, he had apparently had difficulty making himself understood. That was until he visited Brittany (Bretagne), where he found the people spoke a language very similar to his native Welsh. He hadn't known about that beforehand.

That's the 3rd egg I broke with a double yolk what are the odds

I'm told the odds for a double yoke are approx one in a thousand.

When I worked in a cafe back when I was still at school, I once cracked an egg and found it had three yokes. The owner kept that in the fridge for months, and would take it out occasionally to show to people. After a couple of months it started to stink that badly he had to throw it out.

Correcting another of my inevitable typos.

Like wow Marty

I'm still struggling with finishing Chapter 4 of Fragments of Sean, but have finished editing the Chapter 4 of The Charmed Life of Danny Murphy, so have uploaded that.

Seems I don't have enough reputation on GA yet to avoid the Moderation Queue, so it could be up to 24 hours before it gets approved and actually goes live.

Don't know how much time I'll get for writing over the next few days. Have a "dinner date" tomorrow, and off to Dublin on Saturday for Pride.

Have to be seventy miles away in 3 hours time. Think I may head off early and bring Trusty Nikon with me to see if I can get any decent landscapes.

Might chat yous all briefly when I get back home in about 7 hours time.

Going to be 30 C here today.   Hope it was cool for you and Thistle.  

It's almost there now. It wasn't bad walking this morning. Since then I've extended a stone border ten feet and cleared weeds, relaid weed barrier and mulched a 6×12 section of my lower flower garden. Since it was in the sun and took about an hour and a half I've said enough for now. The pup and I are relaxing in the shade in the upper garden.

Not long ago I saw a shop a vegan butcher

What do they sell ... filet of turnip/neeps or perhaps rump roast of rutabaga/swede or an old favorite shank of zucchini?

I won't be griddy, I'm only taking the 3 older ones

No, NO, NO! Everyone knows the plaid lads are part of my herd. Give 'em back or I'll break out the bagpipes and since I can't play the bloody things it will be an awesome screeching and wailing.

Well Bretagne historically had a strong Celtic population.

Three yolks is phenominal. We used to be able to buy a carton of double yoked eggs from a local farmer. He had a flock of hens with a genetic trait that would lay double yoked eggs about half the time. 

Those eggs were popular among the local plain folk who made homemade noodles.

How odd. I found a double-yolked egg just the other day.     Afternoon, Dugh and Thistle.     *scratches for Thistle*

That episode was the best!!

Tried to fix my bathroom faucet and failed... still leaking.   The fancier the fawcet, the more impossible it is to work on. Sucks! On a good note, someone reviewed Morningstar.

Here is a funny story: This happened in 1954

 Steve mother and baby sister was in the hospital she had just had the baby. Steve and his dad when for a drive . They decided to stop for lunch so they sat at the contour and who walk in and sat next to Steve. It was Lucille Ball.

She was making the film the long long trailer at that time

Don't you have enough by now

So good news! Mom's thyroid isn't working anymore. She'll have a pill to help with this. She'll also have to be hospitalized for 48h in 2 weeks to check the new pill isn't causing palpitations and heart problems. AND she can have her immunotherapy treatment right after that making it mid July (she hasn't had a shot of treatment since early April). 

She's doing perfectly fine. No more pains, no need for O2 anymore since the last 2 weeks, no side effects from the other pills. She's feeling so well she wants to go swim, back rides, walk... Things are great
