    Opinions on savoury muffins please? When I'm feeding those beer soaked men. I've pretty much decided I don't want to do a fry up because they might all surface at different times. So I'll do a buffet instead I think.....

    Are savoury muffins weird? Twee? A bit naff? There will be other stuff. In honour of gen I'll bake some croissants, a fruit salad. Dunno what else yet. Fruit, yogurt, honey

    Dunno. A workmate brought in some savoury spongecake the other day. Weird but nice.

    I'd probably avoid eating one generally but especially if I'd had a few the night before.

    I quite like fruit and stuff after a night out as it makes me feel a bit better. A few cold sausages might go down well. There should be some protein. Ham/cheese/salami in that northern European way maybe? In fact, perhaps the full on Scandi/German breakfast could be the thing. Lots of bits to pick at.

    I am apparently angelic. Which is total rubbish. I've just been married for forever. And as for whipped cream, pah, I'm intolerant of it.

    Further experiments with a selection of combinations of answers suggest that not liking whipped cream is the thing that tips you over from the "sweet and innocent" category into "angelic".

    Hopefully birdie isn't discovered by some carrion eater that doesn't fancy a whole bird.

    My mother's getting rather tired of that problem.

    Yossie the cat catches rabbits and eats select bits of them. He's done that for several years now, and has left the odd corpse in unsuitable places, such as in my parents' kitchen.

    Bertha, sister 1's puppy who spends most days with my parents while sister is at work, has developed a habit of finding Yossie's discarded rabbits, and dragging them into the house or the paths around it, and eating much more of them. It has revealed that Yossie has been catching a lot more rabbits than anyone realised, as he deposited most of the bodies further away from the house.

    I'm angelic, too.

    Cool. Now I can also see some grass and diced tomatoes with cucumbers covered in too much pepper.

    I took a picture of my lunch. :) And I like lots of pepper. A chacun son gout, as the French would say if they did not bother with those pesky accents. I need to go easy on the salt, so I add lots of other seasoning. But you are right that pepper on the cucumber was not a good idea.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Oh she's lovely. I think I love her. Thank you silver car. She does look down.

    Sorry the photo is not clearer. It was done with the ipad in ambient light - not enough of it apparently.

    It's not a very flattering picture of the mutt. It makes her look much fatter than she is. It's the way she's lying curled up.

    If I take the buster off the mutt, she gnaws at the foot until it bleeds, given a chance. I'll take her to the vets again, now it's healed up. Perhaps the vet can find the thorn or whatever is in there.

    For a long time, I called the mutt Dog, but really she wasn't big enough to justify that. So, now she's called Doglet.

    If you like a bit of punch with your cucumber, try making it into a fresh pickle.

    I'm naughty but nice. I defy anyone who likes whipped cream not to think of dessert. I have never felt the urge to cover a man's hairy body in dairy product. Not sexy.

    I too am hungry, now.

    I got: You are
    Sweet and Innocent
    Like butter wouldn't melt, you are true to your ways. You have strong morals, but a friendly face. You are approachable and kind, but always hold back when you sense danger.

    I am not doing this quiz yet as I am still in a foul mood with this computer.
