bravo KC, all talk of rings, reversals and lenses is way above my head as well!

Z thank you - I'll have a look when I'm in scotland - over holidays

Hello chaps

Mud - well that can be very technical can't it - BUT soil science is guaranteed to put all of us to sleep so I'll stop there!

Hello!

3 hours extra work need to update the sparkly money
wrote up a fair bit this morning and did a nifty diagram too - I think I might have a theory on why trees are short here - which I can actually prove (!) not a big theory but its a theory anyway alot of writing to do before monday - must crack on with more tonight.

Tea HM chicken curry - made yesterday - with 6p nan bread

Took peedie for a walk to the post box today at lunch - and he was much admired with a man with a cairn which was a different colour to my haggis coloured puppy - we had a nice chat and then we walked back up to work. Didn't make it to the beach - not enough time - but I must try and get there this week.

6 eggs a day still - which is great - have sold 12 on monday - and the lady wants another 1 1/2 doz on Friday - £5 from the hens this week clever girls

Off to find out what you've all been upto - we've a severe weather warning for tonight - gales and snow forecast - its already windy - will see IF the white stuff appears............ I got a new follower on my blog which gave me a huge smile - very silly of me I know but I was very happy

Maybe all except one... lol

Sounds like you've been very busy! :T And that might be a mighty interesting theory you've got there...

Yay to new theories and nifty diagrams! :j

(Although you have made me think of haggis, which made me want haggis, when what i'm getting is chicken noodle soup. Nice, but just not the same!)

Good to hear there's sparkly updates for you, Pippi. I was thinking of you in the supermarket, actually - I had to buy some ordinary milk, because the builders are in and out all week, and there'll be some leftover for my mum - but they only had really big cartons - 2 or 4 pints, no good for me. Then I saw a *bag* of milk - 6p less than the cartons - and it gave me the idea of doing what you did with eggs - i.e. freezing small portions, then putting them in a freezer bag together! Can't remember if that was on here or on your blog - but its a brilliant idea anyway. I'll let you know how this little offshoot goes

You can freeze milk in ice-cube trays.

Ooh, Z, that would save space - I have ice cube trays in the handles of the freezer drawers - it sounds odd, but it works. Thanks!

Yum to haggis - glad you're good - i have a haggis cut into bits - in the freezer I never use to buy it (I'm the only one who likes it) but when I got some reduced I thought mse and cut it into chunks - lol - I'm not the brightest tool in the box

You see I love this site I wouldn't have thought of that!

We've got horizontal hammering rain (quite a thing to watch) and gale force winds - even the house inside curtain is blowing about and the door is locked (just in case) its horrific out there. Although it says its only gusting at 40mph - it sounds alot worse.

I hope it doesn't arrive either - sideways rain is a bit of a pain in the butt - but I can't get stuck in a drift of it!

Keep warm and lets hope its OK

Hey chaps

as promised a couple photos of all the new chookies with Einstein (the very clever but also very sweetly dyslexic cockeral)

I'm sorry been lazy and put it on my blog tonight (I don't expect you to read it - but there are some nice photos to flick through on there) - it was just easier cos when I'm trying to put photos on p/bucket at the moment it crashes my computer.

*sorry*

Its all me, einstein, me, me, me, einstein!

Money - amazon book kerching _£4.75 - need to update the editgrid thingmy for December!
