There isn't one anywhere near me or I would.

We just had chocolate melt in the middle pudding with half a magnumalike on it

Was that greedy Mcgreeyson??

You wanna watch greed like that or you will end up looking like Boaty McBoatFace!!

Is it raining??

I dunno, it's dark outside

Are you suggesting I'm the size of a barge??

Bucks Fizz, OJ or just champers on its own?

OJ Not keen on champagne, sorry.

Woke up @ 7am to an overcast Rainy Monday with a few very brief sunny spells a short time ago

Did you know that the
" Me And Mrs Jones " Singer Billy Paul Has Died aged 81 in USA ??

The singer won a Grammy for best rhythm 'n blues male vocal performance following the release of his hit ballad in 1972.

I had just read that sad piece of news Choccy Although he was not very well known, everyone remembers the song.

Looking like an entire day of rain here .....

Have you seen the long range forecast that suggests Summer will be hotter than average this year?

No had not noticed that long tem weather forecast for this summer -

I am not overly keen when it gets too hot - it is a bit chilly here right now

Just read that The Singer Billy Paul has also died from a short battle with Pancreatic Cancer

& Same here - I did not know the singer's **name**
- which is so odd considering it is one of those mega well known great songs - for all these years
Yet we often know the names of many other ** forgettable & less gifted ** singers -

Twassy I Just noticed you have **Moved** from >>>>>>>>>>
Your Rural Heaven >>>>>>>>>> to The Owl Sanctuary

So far today We have had A Rainy cool morning with a few unexpected sunny moments
like we have just got as I typed that sentence

Has any sunshine managed to peep through your soggy clouds - yet ??

Nope

Are the English overly obsessed with the weather??

Totally!!! No sun here as yet.

This totally is the Owl Sanctuary. The cottage is full of owls and outside the real ones hoot all night

About to take mini twass to the station, she took a half day.....and will be back Friday night for the Beltane weekend!! I shall spend this week dog sitting for Bragg and Eddie while son and DIL go orf to Brum to see her heart specialist and visit her folks in Staffordshire.

This involves sleeping with the little darlings in their bed. Do you or have you slept with your pets in the same bed?

I sleep with the terror at night; usually he is quite well behaved but he has occasionally attacked my feet in the early hours of the morning

You not working this week twass??

Tea or cold drink??

I can work anywhere that has internets. Plus the doglets are going to doggy daycare Weds and THurs from 8.30-5pm so I am freeee

Tea please cos it's chilly!! The best cold drink when thirsty is water. Agree?

I would choose very cold water with a dash of some type of Robinson's squash when I am hot and thirsty

I have always slept with ♥my darlings♥

Hope all goes well on their appointment & travels Twassy
and you have fun fun fun with the doglets and mini Twass

OMG the Sun has just come out in full force onto my back right now - so warm and lovely

I have just had a yummy brekkie
- I toasted a whole slab of Asda's Bahji bread [ was £1-40 - I paid 10p / Got 3 for the first time >>>>>> on 16-4-16
Topped the first 1/3'rd of the toasty Bahji bread with
a sizzled soft fried egg
2 rings of sizzled red capsicum & cherry tomato -
with some of my *just pickled* cukes in Sarsons sugar n S&P - added to the plate

then the last 2 slices of the crunchy yummy Bahji Toasty toast with :-
C-PB&with a hot mug of white Punjana tea

The sun is till here and so lovely and warm on by back
What have your eaten today ??

One weetabix crumbled and about a tablespoon of granola mixed in, with a few chopped grapes, half a small banana, spoon of natural yogurt and milk.

Your brekkie sounds lush Choccy!!! Not sure about the pickled cucs with it though

What is your favourite cheese to put in a sandwich?

Red Leicester

Carole - Peanut butter on toast.

Have you tried Doritos Roulette?

OOOOhhhh I love all cheeses
mmmm mature cheddar is always a good one
so is red Leicester
and crumbly white Wensleydale cheeses in sanis & with Toast n crackers
& The blues of course are also great in many a stir fry - or other cooked combos

I love Crumbly Wensleydale melted on the griddle -
often while I am frying and egg mmmm - mmmmm
soooo scrumpy licious

My Brekkie was Lush Twassy
But The *J* was missing from today's brekkie menu post
[ It was CPB&Raspberry J --- on the last 2/3rds of the :-
Must have again !!!! Bahji toast

what are your fave cheeses ??

A local strong powerful cheddar which I just got a small piece of in the farm shop along with narnas, apples, pears, oranges, tomatoes and broccoli.

Also got three lovely garden plants in an offer they had, one yellow, one purple and one clover pink. Started to chuck it with rain here now so will have to plant them out later or tomorrow.....which of those colours would you choose as favourite?

I think Clover pink probably, but they all sound nice.

We've just bought a sandwich toaster so I am busy trying out all sorts of fillings. One that is really good is mashed banana, strawberry jam and brown sugar.

Have you any really good ideas for it?

Baked beans, tuna & cheese

Tried them??

Mmmmm Not tried that combo Nate

I would go for experimenting with lots of savory ones
a cheesey
chilli con carney -
bolognaisey
or
a tikka type of filling


How about a cheesey fishy finger toastie
an onion Bahji tomato Houmous toastie
or a roast dinner mix
or mash peas onion cheesey combo
corned beef onion and curried beans / or peas
A pizza styley mix with cheese tomato oregano onion capsicum and olives
or
a sweet apple & sultana one - topped with honey and whipped cream
fancy any of those ??

I would try brie and grapes, blue cheese and celery, peanut butter and jam [boring but a nice toastie!!] and avocado and chilli prawns.

My mother had a round toastie maker years ago which you sat on the gas ring then turned over to do the other side. She would break an egg into the bread case with grated cheese. That was nomtastic!!

What's your lunch?
