The Garden Fence - help and support in tough times

Thames Path, we often find lost walkers wandering around where we live as the Thames Path stops for a mile or two round here.
I used to walk from Chelsea to Putney along the tow path regularly in my teens between work and my bedsit.

Mila I've pm'd you the link to my blog as We aren't allowed to advertise them on the forum.

Thanks for the ideas!

BTW - while I was visiting my parents, my dad told me about his latest scan. He went for his MRI and they gave him headphones (I usually take a CD) and it was tuned to the local radio station. As he went into the scanner an advert for Coop funeral services came on

They wanted to know why he was giggling... he has suggested that they choose a non-commercial station...

Greenbee, that story reminds me of my dad when he was in the coronary care unit. Hospital radio came round asking for requests, he asked for something by Chris Rea.... they played road to hell!

Mardatha, we'll send you to the glue factory, we joke in this house that's where they stick you back together. I don't know why people don't get mot'd, maybe too many of us would be scrapped.

We just had porridge a la Mardatha this morning, salt, water, bit of cream (coconut cream). I'm not normally a porridge or breakfast eater, but it was good. Unfortunately I now feel the need for an after brekkie nap I don't blame the porridge, it could well have been the hour I spent moving rocks beforehand :rotfl:

What a day. I started by moving rocks, then got a call from the fencing people that they wanted to install the side fence and gate. So I moved 8 bins of mulch so they could concrete it in. Then I began to move our belongings out of the main living area ready for the tiling. The fence was finished and I sat for a break... and the tiles arrived. So I was on the back of a flatbed unloading more than 140m2. Then the phone guy arrived to fix the phone.... and at that point I got a phone call for a telephone interview :rotfl:

Anyhoo, picked up another beef heart this evening, which we had for dinner. After preparing it by chopping off the skin and veiny bits, so that it was in steaks, I rubbed on oil and seasoning, then flash fried it for 4 minutes each side. Very much like steak in flavour, a little different in texture, but overall verh good.

It'd stir fry well too, or stew. Going to be having it regularly now.
