If that was what (or who) was waiting for you, I can't say I blame you...
-
Hi, Page
-
All good here, thanks. It's actually dry today. Might try clearing out some of the brambles in the garden of the new old house...
-
Hi Albert! Hope your Sunday is going well.

That reminds me of when I used to keep a few cattle. The land around here gets that wet that leaving them out in the winter would absolutely destroy the ground. So I would house them over the winter months (usually November to April). To see their absolute joy as they would race around the pasture the first day they were let out would always warm my heart. Not to mention it would mean an end to the daily chore of feeding them twice a day, and having to regularly muck out their winter quarters.

He looks more tired than sad to me... Did you keep him up all night?
-
Hey, bud! It's sunny here as well (above the clouds )

All good here, thanks

Hi there, Albert! Hope all's well with you.

Well, if AccuWeather is correct (and it normally is) it doesn't look as though there'll be any sun to be seen where I live between now and Tuesday.... And when I scrolled further down that page the forecast isn't good for the rest of next week either. I'm just hoping AccuWeather can't predict all that accurately so far ahead... [EDIT: Those temperatures are in Celcius, by the way]

I saw frogs hopping across the road this evening when I was driving. A sure sign that the days are getting that bit longer and spring is on its way.
-
Hey, Page. You can keep the snow, thanks all the same.
-
You lucky man! Didn't see the sun at all today here. Indeed just about all we saw was rain. (And wind. Mustn't forget the wind.)
-
How ya, Gary! You've (again) caught me checking out CoTT just before I head out for a while... Mebbe chat yous all later
-
Yea... I'm aware of that research, and the fact that some people have that reaction to coriander. I suspect different people's reaction to marmite may have a similar genetic link...
-
I once read that a good thing to do if you're trying to sell your house is to bake bread shortly before anyone comes to view it.
-
Not to say that they are better (because that would be a bit like comparing apples and pears), but I can think of other smells that (to me, at least) are at least as good... Like, for instance, freshly roasted coffee beans, newly cut grass, the scent of freesia flowers, and grilled bacon, to name just a few.
-
And what about the gooey melted cheese? Do you use that as some sort of sunscreen?
-
Hi all, and bye all... Spent most of the day pottering about the "new" house, doing a few jobs inside (as the weather was far too wet for outside work). Have to head out in less than an hour for some voluntary work I'll be involved with this evening. Left it a bit too late to cook a full meal, so I made myself a quick snack to keep me going. Toast covered with a small layer of mustard and thyme, then sliced tomato sprinkled with chopped coriander leaf, all covered with thinly sliced vintage cheddar with freshly ground black pepper added before putting back under the grill for two minutes, and then freshly cut rosemary sprinkled on top. Yummy! And it will certainly keep the wolf from the door until I get home in about 5 hours time.
-
Happy Thursday to you as well, Gary And at least today's guy looks a lot happier than yesterday's did (Even if he does need a shave...)
-
Maybe better to buy a boat with a motor. Less stress on your shoulder than rowing...
-
If you can get here, you'd all be more than welcome.
-
I actually moved my barbecue materials to the new house today. Will probably be a few months yet before it gets used, though...
-
No, not yet. Probably not till April at the earliest.
