Mrs McB's countdown to adventures with chooks (and Rock Gods)

MatyMoo

Been catching up

Who is DDD???

Mum used to have a very real looking brick to throw at the telly, made out of rubbery stuff, it got regular use when Arthur Scargill showed his face :rotfl: Not sure what she would think about an independent Scotland Suspect she would love the idea but hate the reality…..

My pal in America demands I take chocolate, TBags, Paxo Sage & Onion Stuffing & barely black hold ups!

I love books too Inherited lots from Mum which I treasure Cookery Books….. I have a few….. but find Google fab for banging in what is in the fridge/freezer/cupboard and coming up with something new for dinner. Found some great recipes that way & its has saved no end of waste :T

Anyone with a Morrisons? They sell packs of bones for stock at a very reasonable cost. I give them to my doggies for tea as they are raw fed

Patties???

Potatoes, minced beef, onions and seasoning, deep fried in batter ... There used to be a chippy here that added cheese ... Seriously yummy and, as it turns out, purely Orcadian !

Today was a decent day at 'the green bins' before a few fingers in a few more work pies. All day in waterproofs, steelies and luminous jacket with a woolly bunnet, is just as glamorous as it sounds.

Squally walk with el mutts on beach, lovely catch up over late non lunch with chum and her two cute babies

Managed to get most 'toon' things done with time to spare to get into big shop and donate a bag for the food bank I bought value stuff, didn't think anyone would mind. Used the PAD ex-wine money for it.

Awww. You're a good person!

Sherlock now on the telly can't wait til the new one.

Me too - I love Sherlock!

... got some relatively good news re flower work which if it comes off I'll be dead chuffed.

You may see a book deal yet.

A Little Miss Garden Book probably.

Weekend will be working (today they were mostly cancelled from squalls), cleaning, cooking and hopefully if the ferries are back on, Mr RG might appear. As if by magic.

Lots of "ooh" here - a book! Mr RG! - excellent :j

I have a normal weekend, finally, after months of lurgification - i.e., I'm off out both days to have fun - hope Mr RG *does* get to you :j and not too much work in the meantime.

Weekend here - the usual - budgeting, laundry, online grocery shop, stock boiling up, meal plans to be made - oh the excitement of a day off!

Mr Deer has a wife and a couple of youngsters in the field too. They dont belong to my brother, but he is trying to tame them with carrots and apples ... Very skittish at the moment tho.

I am having a very busy morning, on the sofa, listening to the washing machine, the tumble drier and dishwasher running ... Means Im doing something doesnt it ?
Thank goodness the wind turbine is running full tilt too , even with that lot on, we are using no electrickery.

I think the vaccuum cleaner would be a step too far tho ... Dont you ?

Mara vacuuming utterly illegal at weekends up here you ken that!!

to whizzing wind turbines.

Just in from work (extra means Xmas hols off - and paid)

Car full if foraged free wood :-) chopped couple loads when I got home
Fire on

8.25 miles walked at work washing out propcorn barrels (dessert spoon bicarbonate soda neutralises acid) had a fun day mixing up potions) and swilling things out! It's the little things :-)

I'm going to enjoy my tea :-)

Catch upon a bit sawdust and bi-carb to wash out hair

Walked Into shop from work in full manly waterproofs, funny looks due to science goggles still on - talking to pal for ten mins before she asked if I was in fancy dress!

Cheeky monkey

Hello world
Hope you had a good weekend - ours was most excellent.

I'm off out to work in a mo but wanted to tip a wooly hat and say hello!

Catch you all later - minds to mould into future flower guru's and meeting to attend.

I'll say one word to myself today.

EXPENSES and INVOICES.

Have a good un.
