Hope juggling those ha'penny's is going well rtandon. I'd consider packing up a cheese parcel for you, but dare I admit, Greying Towers is in the current ownership of about 150g of mature cheddar, which I was rather hoping would adorn a pizza in a couple of weeks time - shouldn't of used a morsel of the remaining cheese to make scones for lunch I guess

Aww GP how sweet of you! Not to worry about us running out soon, our cheese drawer in the freezer will keep us going for at least a month! Even with my resident cheese monster (OH):D.

Shall I lob you over a chunk of frozen paneer? Though I'm not sure it would work on a pizza? We seem to have two atm (both red stickered) - one will be made into cheese & beetroot brochettes either grilled on the BBQ or on the cast iron pan!

Have you ever made cheeseless pizza? Try out one of the ideas here - the flavoured breadcrumbs work really well! - I often go through seasonal dairyless phases so vegan options are fantastic!

Hey RT that's one fine blog and yummy looking cheese-less pizza.

I'm sure GP will find that a go-er

Our cheese drawer was recently overfilled to high heaven by the incoming chef (back from a gig in the isles). Whilst I don't mean to boast given the current cheese circumstances on other diaries (sorry GP) its crazy full.

Needless to say its crusty bread and cheese for every meal until she leaves.



She also brought a freezer bag of yummy delights so we're full to bursting this end.



Adventures sorely challenged this weekend (Sorry Mooomin, nae tea tasting for me) as I stupidly (and without prior consent) tweaked my back getting into the car. OK so the oodles of stairs and lugging with said twingy back did me NO good either at TRG's flat.

Sadly I'm off driving and only light exercise is prescribed.

Pah. The silliest of things and here was me looking forward to adventures and lugging and fencing.

Finding it hard to sit, so had a wee walk this am to loosen the bones up.

Hope you're all well and RT I do hope the 'ha'penny shuffle' went OK.

Today

A bit of work
A bit of gentle non-tweaking of back
A bit of 'come on you can do it' to the one almost ripe tomato.

Aside a goodly stash of cheese and delights, the tame chef provided a new basil plant.

Loved the bit on that blog RT put up that said.....[Speaking of the pizza]

That basil is entirely optional, but I happen to have an over-abundant basil plant in my living room. I generally find high productivity to be a good trait in the flora and fauna I choose to enter relations with, but this thing is just ridiculous.

A grand trait indeed in a plant especially a basil and we've just been given such an overabundant beast.

Free plants, always good.

Happy Monday folks. Be careful out there.

(6 eggs yesterday cos I know we like to keep score)

We're at 66 eggs now, give or take an accident. Clever girls.

Fab morning with the cheflet.

Reduced chooks at supermarket FR and half price so bagged 2 of the 5 available and some reduced ribs for himself.

No driving for me for a few days, lucky we've got the visitors to chauffeur us about!

rainy here hope the sun is shining with you all!

Must update grub shopping budget from friday (£26) and today (£5.50 + .97).

Not too bad over the £100 but under the £165 and we've a rolling household of visitors (most who bring grub ) and many extra mouths to feed.

Morning lands.

A bit of gentle stuff for me today

How's everyone?

mooomin

Absolutely knackered after a bad night's sleep!

How's the back?

Pippilongstocking

Hey there
Back is pesky but improved from yesterdays curling up and frozen peas on/not peas on and resting, gentle walking.

Still on the easy side of the street this side.

Sorry you slept bad, I slept OK and prob better as no one to disturb in me bed as himself is off being tutored in all things rock-god-esk doon sooth.

Wik rehomed a mattress and a wee coffee table from the flat so that's all good progress.

A wee wash on and nowt much else for me today, a pesky back, as you'll all be aware is not good.

But makes you grateful for your normal health. Which I so take for granted.

Hope you're having a nice day Mooomin.
