    Well as an ode to Skinty (one of my favourite MSEers) I thought I would share tomorrow's breakfast with you (rhetorically speaking - cos in reality it's mine all mine :-D)

    Serves 4 or me twice!

    Blueberry porridge *
    (invented by Phil Vickery and Aldi, not me)

    Porridge (I use one cup, smidge salt, 1 cup water, 1 cup milk)
    500g natural yogurt
    150g blueberries (market bought)
    150g muesli
    4 tbsp honey
    Lime juice (1 lime or Mr S basic lime juice)

    1. Make porridge. Cool. Mash with fork (can be done night before)
    2. Add nat. yog, blueberries,muesli and mix.
    3. Add honey and then lime juice to taste.

    YUM!

    Tis gorgeous - the lime really makes it.

    Another frustrating day at work. Think they've got an issue with capacity. I was working away this morning, as soon as my colleague came in and tried to log on I lost connection and didn't get it back. After Fridays complete :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: with the printer I am getting very frustrated. I just want to go into work do a good job and get paid for it. What's so difficult.

    Anyway need to go home. On page 129 of the book club book 'Full Dark House' (Christopher Fowler) and the meeting is tomorrow (and it has 400 pages) Very good.

    Films at the weekend were both gritty and a bit gruelling but worth seeing. Bear that in mind if you go and see 12 Years a Slave or The Railway Man. Kleenex * may be necessary.


    * other brands are available


    p.s Did get my 8th NSD - target for this month! :)

    I'm living with an !!!!.
    He has a fundamental problem with understanding why we have a TV licence and a TV in the lounge. He 'hardly' watches the TV so he doesn't need to pay for the TV licence???!!!!!!!!!!!

    Completely ignores the fact that we have a functioning TV in thme communal lounge so we can have one TV licence covering four TVs. Get rid of that TV and we are each required to have a TV licence to cover our own TVs. Maybe I need to draw him a diagram?

    Wonder what makes him think he is going to get this past me?

    Failed my sign language exam:(
    Haven't we been here before?

    Almost everyone failed.
    Haven't we been here before?

    Honestly I feel like we are the class of doom!!!

    My response "Ah well......."
    Needed a score of 15 including 2 for Non-Manual features. Got 13 and 0 for NMF (expression). At least I know where I went wrong and that I need to wear my glasses.
    At least it wasn't 2!!!!!

    You can hear a tapping noise in the distance as we approach which is the sound of sign language teachers running over the horizon!

    Well this weekend I am spending. I am going up north to the sea for lots of this :beer::beer::beer::beer: with a number of friends. The one awkward blighter who sometimes turned up, getting progressively more drunk, awkward, loud and generally obnoxious (and displaying the latest stains on his trousers :eek:) has died so he won't be there.

    I, unfortunately, went on to the announcement of his death and tried to post a sympathetic comment (he wasn't entirely without merit - he was very good on bus timetables and on beer [if you got him sober]). Unfortunately I managed to hit like!
    :eek::eek::eek::eek:
    and it took me about 20 minutes to work out how to remove the like! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Anyway on Saturday it should just be nice people there who aren't obnoxious.

    Practicing sign language exam (every day until my resit) and starting to prepare for the next one, a conversation on food and drink. Reckon I am going to fingerspell Shiraz and Rioja and sign Sex on the Beach. Think you are getting the theme :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Right time to plan tonights tea from A Girl Called Jack.
