Putah and & are not talking then!

Please be aware, BoP is a fake profile. These are to be abolished by secret legislation currently going through our parliament! In the meantime, here are BoP's pleasures.

5 Watched the mariners last night and they were on top form. They took more away fans than some second rate team north of Birmingham took to Middlesbrough! Inflatables everywhere, including as doll! Not seen that since Sincel Bank in 2011!

4 Just had the usual SatFest. Snorker, apple and best crunched pork. Best smoked back, with toms, mushrooms and fried egg! Toast and tea. Rubs Tum! Sticky chicken readied for this evening, and film. For those in want of a decent romp comedy, here you go.

It's near MhagsVille!
3 Please be aware that the film, you do not need a tv license for catch up tv, has difficult language, so not pre approved for the ilks of Sparra and &!
2 Day BoP is going unshaved. A day of face rest, prior ro beard trim tomorrow. Feel the fur, it is real. No hair products are used by BoP!
Choking the Goose

Oh you have to see above for that!

& sorry to hear of putah problems again but good to see you if only briefly


BoP - sticky chicken? Sticky wicket more like if BoPsie catches you "these things are a bit much for her!"


Back with some pleasures later .... BoP will you share your recipe for sticky chicken pleeease ?

No!

Note the fresh ginger prior to rumbling in tub!

Alright then.

Wings of Chicken, they're cheap!
Tom pur!e squirted into tub, decent squirt!
Desert spoon of dark treacle
Coriander
Garem Masaka
Garlic
Fresh grated ginger.
Chilli

Rumble in tub.
Leave on side away from cat

Heat oven to 180C
Toss on to tray. Turn after 18 mins. Add remnants of flavouring to hot wings.
Cook for another 15 minutes.

Eat with fingers. Be careful, they're sticky!

The iron fisted Scunthorpe profanity filter does not like Tom Puree!

Good evening everyone!

Really sorry that I've been MIA for so long. This included a week in Dubai with my best friend (who lives there), so it wasn't all bad. Then, just manic busy-ness at work. My student teacher has now left, so it's back to normal.

There are many OS pleasures though:

1) Many NPDs. Loving working around the corner from home because of this.

2) Many NSDs. Again, living so close to work means that I rarely walk past a shop.

3) Visited the screenings of various films at the local arts centre. Cheaper than a trip to the big multiplex in the closest city - and you can take a cup of tea in too!

4) DH received a curry subscription from his twin sister for Christmas. We've had the first box, now he's cooking the second. Highly recommended if you're looking for a different present. http://www.thespicery.com/

5) Much rugby watching has gone on. Last weekend we went to the England match on the Saturday and Leicester on the Sunday. I went to work on Monday for a rest!

I won't leave it so long next time. Take care everyone. x

Evening everybody.


Having a really positive day which is refreshing.


1 - Got another module complete on my workbook.
2 - Joined readitswapit for some old books I'm getting rid of. Had 2 requests already and both had books I've been wanting to get. Swaps are ready to post on Monday.
3 - Watched the tennis. Excellent work by the Murray brothers.
4 - Called and got a bill reduced by £6 a month for an added service we weren't really make use of. The £72 a year will be much more appreciated.
5 - Sorted a box of clutter that has sat for ages. Added a couple of extra things to sell, file stuff away properly and recycled other things. Very satisfying to see that done.
6 - Happy family as Hammers managed to pull back a victory from 2-0 down.
7 - About to watch a movie with OH along with a cuppa and a piece of choc chip banana bread.


Couldn't narrow it down.

Frith

Quick pleasures, esp as yesterday's post has disappeared!


1) A lie in!


2) Went at 11 to see the new allotment :-) A sheltered spot perhaps 400 metres off the road. No rules for this one. Pictures will follow. Nothing between the allotment and the Clee Hills. They had snow on this morning.


3) Helped bigger son clean his shed out (I'm chief killer of spiders, he can't stand them).


4) Out for lunch in case it was too busy on mother's day.


5) Went swimming with sons and my brother.


6) Chips from the van for tea.


7) Casualty.


Calamity coming out of swimming. The back window of the car was down (raining, of course). The little motor whines but the glass will not go up. :-( For now it has been wrenched up and two little chocks of wood hammered between the glass and the frame.

2) then wander round newly opened roads at dundee waterfront with dd2
3) then very nice lunch with dd2
4) then very long bath after walking dogs in the sun. Bliss
5) then an evening with friends playing for a ceilidh to raise funds for the Dundee food bank

Good afternoon from land of just far too much heat! Have I mentioned that I'm over it?

Well today me , DD1 and Haggis dog did our fun run/walk. We have raised $1123 so far which is just amazing, I'm so grateful to every single person that donated.

The bit before the event started was fun. We took a train and then a tram , got our tee shirts and bib numbers ,had a wander round the stalls, got St Andrew flags painted on our faces , went in a photo booth thingy , given out bottles of free juice, free water , free fruit. OH dropped Haggis and he got his natty blue bandana .walked and walked and walked as the day got hotter and hotter ....finally finish line in sight.

Stopped on way home for some lunch.

Watched casualty

Snoozette on new to us sofa , it's rather comfy, spent yesterday afternoon moving furniture around and then took some furniture over to salvos that we don't need anymore.

DD2 starts some work experience for school this week so we went in the car to see where it was. Right next to the station and tram stop so she will be fine.

Do have a good day, hope all the mums are remembered. Not MD until May here .
