Alchemilla

Oh Gawd. GG is doing spanking now...

don't worry, gallygirl - if Alex Salmond has his way we will soon have a separate moneysaving forum :rotfl:

Hope work wasn't too grim after last week's HR debacle MWC, fingers crossed here too, that things might work out in the best way for you (and Mr. MWC, feathered ladies and, last but not least, the mortgage)!

Not too grim at all Hbbb as today was pay day (salary + bonus) :j

Tomorrow is going to be a weird day - we're interviewing someone who is very well known in our industry. I hope he doesn't ask me if it's a good company to work for :rotfl:

Ay up muddywhitechicken - hope your interview thing goes ok today and no potentially *awkward* questions are asked - or you come up with a wonderfully satisfying *beige* response, which can neither be attributed to you nor traced to you...... :rotfl:

Is Maria treating you well? Tonight's meal sounds super scrummy. Does it matter what 'shape' the polenta is when you poach it? I can't recall that recipe - mind you, I got a haul from her book - perhaps I quit before the library book became overdue

Have a good day - hope the gals are enjoying the increasing daylight, and providing lots of lovely eggs for y'all

Ooh yes, hope it goes well - weird when an interviewee is well known, its odd enough when someone on the *panel* is well known!

Plants IN 0
Sycamore seedlings OUT 58 (I only weeded half the back garden :mad:)

Parmesan polenta with poached eggs, roasted feta & roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine (we couldn't get any radicchio) - another keeper for egg-based tea night

It was the eggs that were poached, Greying, not the polenta - that was cooked like porridge!

I can't believe that from 15 reviews it was rated 1.27/5 and labelled as requiring a little effort...

Interview went well. He came across as a really nice chap who obviously knows his stuff and he even looked slightly embarrassed with his celebrity status! Not sure he would accept the job if it was offered to him though

Mr MWC has bought us tickets to see John Grant in concert in June :j:j:j

Greying_Pilgrim

A-ha! I see... silly auld me

Good that the interviewee kept all *awkward* Q's to himself

Greying bussles off to look up John Grant............

...........Greying bussles back - having learnt something new, as I'd not heard of John or his music before. Interesting He seems to have a sound that is 'older' than his years iyswim - a 70's vibe (in a good way).

John Grant is brilliant - I love this song
I'm also liking the new Joan As Policewoman album very much unfortunately I'm on a business trip when she's performing in London

Do you actually get to eat it MWC ... it's not like wine tasting and you have to roll it around the old taste buds and then spit it out?
