Old Trout!

Schubert! Sympathy. Come on now, this is BoP land, and yous want sympathy! How long is my piece of string. Jenny sends a :heartpuls in the case of any needy peoples!

5 Guess what BoP has been doing!



4 Tea, after feeding Raffles the knuckles from the buzzard was chicken curry with fried rice, all home made. Not that from Ben type, but pure Long Grain, and cheap. As we have no microwave, we could not buy rice you have to nuke!


3 And for lunch, the old BoP favourite was Cheese and Marmite Sandwiches! With added crunch of onions. You do not know what you are missing until you have tried it!

2 night Quized with BoPsie. UC, Connections and another one. Last week she was so poor, she ran off to make the cocoa, non foamed version.

I'm glad you confirmed your curry was chicken and not swan, BoP!

My five for today:

1) Not a bad sleep, which is unusual for me on a Sunday night.

2) Toast and honey for breakfast.

3) Not completely dark when I left work, for the first time this year.

4) My favourite pasta bake for dinner - tuna, pesto and cherry tomato.

5) Working out how to type with two hands on my iPad, which makes this post easier!

6) Got a cheap copy of the first Brother Cadfael novel for my kindle: I read them all as a teenager and am thoroughly enjoying rediscovering their joys.

Not moi.

1. What is the super fizzy flaring blue/green/sporadic red star low on the southern horizon. Hints of my fave name Betelgeuse, but not quite in right position? Do go and look - stunning. & wants to know.

2. What dastardly plot is this? Loathed JAM on Beeb just as & comes in - with Saint Stephen of Fry, Mister David, dear Queen Mother Julian and sameold Paul, the aforementioned trio making it almost palatable. Oh good, finished now.

3. Fridge freezer f/c'd. Lovely family collected after man 1 failed to reply beyond 'Want'. F/f is only 16 mths old. Young Mum of 3 had found new Thermostat online, £6.50 delivered. She is ecstatic and it took 2 secs for & to know this was a Couldn't Be Better f/c experience - passed on to bed-bound owner.

4. nsd/npd - even if it does mean today's list now tfrs>tmrw.

5. Found StuMac's music is Vaughan Williams' Wasps' Overture,

- right at the start of potw. Fab interpretation compared with some others I've listened to throughout day.
This by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, conductor Vasily Petrenko

Hungry-time tum. Haven't a clue who's speaking on Hurrchhrrrs any more. Recognisable voices dead zone. Boot the newbie editor.

Frith - this came to me today in FitzW e-news. Up your street then? now?

Well, I seem to have managed to bin it irretrievably.
Four Section Field trips - Archaeology 2A Students > Gozo and Malta, £200.

I loved Gozo and Malta. Clambered underground, unwittingly till later, with priest archaeologist who had discovered much of what is known today.

Back again. Sorry, I hope it's ok to join back in.

Mine for today are:

1 - Simple dinner of jacket potato and leftover bolognese.
2 - Continued good news from someone I'm willing to get better.
3 - Chat with my gran on the phone, she had me giggling away.
4 - Started a good deap clean in the kitchen. Not necessarily a pleasure
while doing it but satisfying afterwards.
5 - Going to curl up shortly with the 'Walking the Nile' book.

Welcome back Giddy

Pleasures for today

1. Its Monday .... non working day for me :j

2. lounged in bed till 9am

3. got some good quotes online for travel insurance for DS as hes going on his 'olidays with his gf & her parents :cool: (they are paying for the holiday!)

Travel insurance is a blinking minefield ! Tesco seem to be best and after answering online medical questions he is covered for pre-existing medical condition. Cant believe some policies you actually have to phone up and go through medical screening if you have had prescription medication in last 2 years for ANY condition ! One policy was any prescription meds in the last 5 years :eek:

4. got shopping in Ald! and under budget.... yay !!

5. afternoon nap ... sore throat is turning into swollen thyroid again

6. felt better after a nap and did some batch cooking

7. after a grey cloudy day we had some late afternoon sunshine whilst I was washing up

8. beef in ale for tea. nom nom

9. evenings are getting lighter and its turned mild again

10. quite a good day all things considered

Good evening everyone :hello:

A busy day, as ever. When isn't it?!

1) HM soup for lunch, taken in a flask.

2) Shopping in Mr T's and made the most of the vouchers I've been sent.

3) Ensured that DH's jaunt later in the year will earn us Avios points. Tsk, he'd be lost without me! :rotfl:

4) More money payable from TopCashback! :beer: All goes into my subscriptions pot.

5) Raided a packet of mini eggs. That's OS isn't it? Definitely a pleasure though.
