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

troglodyte

Evening Pippi,


Hope your day went well and you are now recovering.


Peculiar day here. Got off to a good start with two loads of washing drying in the sunshine and took little ones for a short bike ride. Then this afternoon the weather suddenly changed, we had a spell of violent stormy weather (luckily got the washing in in time!) and now this evening three of us have come down with something and are feeling really bleurgh. Hoping for an early night as I have work to do and we have friends coming tomorrow to go to the local am-dram panto in the afternoon, followed by dinner here (at least I have dessert prepared, tiramisu using up 3 egg-yolks I had in the freezer).


Will see what tomorrow brings.
Well done on submitting the applications, and hope today's event was a success!

Yep, hope it all went well. Trog, sorry to hear you feel rough - hopefully a good night will start to sort you. Sleep well

Hi pippi, and the rest of you lovely lot :hello:

It's been ever such a long time since I've been around these parts but since I'm sneaking back in with my own diary, I thought I'd sneak in yours again too, if you'll have me of course

Well done on getting your job stuff in :j

<scurries back behind sofa again>

Cheery :kisses3:

I thought I was seeing things there! Well, I *know* Pippi will have you, of course, but I'm really happy to see you too :j

I have a diary on the mfw board

Now ... can I post a pic of the onion marmalade I made this afternoon .... nope, not yet, haven't uploaded it to photobucket ... but it'll be here soon. In the meantime, kick back and enjoy

Pulls Cheery from behind the sofa and dusts her off!

Trog - hope you're feeling better! Huggles love

KC - onion marmalade I LOVE - lob some here.

RT - our bannocks are 'dry fry' but otherwise they look identical

And shudders at declutter - lets call it tidying up.

Wik and I are exhausted.

Finally finished for the weekend but I've a lighter week next week.

Hoping to hear something about the jobs early in the week, fingers crossed if I don't then I don't plenty more fish in the sea.

Hugs all round and lots of soup and toast.

Have a great evening whatever youre all up to.

PS Cheery if you try and hide behind the sofa again, take a duster with you please and hurry back out!!!!!

Karmacat

I'm too hungry right now to focus on photobucket, but I'm lobbing some of the actual onion marmalade your way right now

<lob>

Hope you and Wik have got some time off this evening, Pippi, its only right!

Cheery_Daff

Mmmm, onion marmalade! :j :j

Not going back behind that sofa again <shudder> :rotfl: :rotfl:

*blows kisses and big waves in the direction of Cheery* - fabby to see you around these parts again my dearie!

Saw the yummy looking haggis things on FB - looked very delicious indeed even in my slightly hungover state earlier today!

Trog are you all feeling better now?

troglodyte

Hello everyone - good to see you again Cheery! And Mmmm to onion marmalade!

Yes definitely feeling better, thanks all. Not quite right but hopefully back to normal soon.

Very wet here again. Am considering saving some of the slices of tree trunk we received the other day as firewood, and using them as stepping stones instead to get across our very soggy grass to the front door!


Had an afternoon of entertainment all in a good cause, and then survived the onslaught of DD's friends without the house getting trashed so that's all good. I'm even up to date with work! Next thing to worry about is submitting my tax return - really MUST get on with that!

Aye up chaps.

Just in from one job and doing a bit of admin for the other.
However, I've 3.5 hours left this month which are unallocated so I'm not really going to do very much for the rest of today.

Had some good and bad news re work things - nothing life threatening. Its all ying and yang isn't it.

Cheflet has departed what a super time we had catching up and working.

So nice to work alongside professionals and get so many tips.

Off to throw a log at the fire, myself at a much needed but short walk and then get my feet up on the sofa.

I've ferretted in the fridge/freezer so need to make a cunning meal plan.

I do hope you're all grand and happy today.

I'm making a list of what's precious at home (aside the biological ones) and its funny how little of the 'stuff' we have isn't either replaceable or unneeded.

also got a chum coming later in the week looking for a few bigger bits of furniture, hoping she'll take those when we do actually go and then there's really not much to think about, well aside the piano...................best not think about that yet.
