That would just be cruel if we were having some

exactly Twass.
cox for all i say

i'm frightened
there's a bright bright ball of light in the sky and the sky is this weird blue colour....what's happening? is it the end of the world?

It's here as well!! And it feels far too nice to be the end of the world. I think it might just be......SPRING!!!!

I am filthy and mud caked after digging and weeding the border for the first time this year. It looks better but I don't

Good Day people. Sorry for vanishing with my cakes, had unexpected visitors. Flipping cold here, water buckets in yard were frozen solid this morning.
Started to watch the Viking doc last night, looks interesting!

At the beginning when they are in Lerwick on Shetland during Up Helly aa they showed the Guizer Jarl and his jarl squad doing the firelight procession....my friend's son was in that particular Jarl squad and because i knew the Guizer Jarl and that my friend's son was next to him i spotted him!! The jarl squad do work and events for the whole year they are in the squad, the things i loved was that the Jarl squad go in full outfit and do their thing at all the retirement homes, and hospices in the islands, i thought that was lovely. I was meant to be there for that up helly aa but events transpired and i couldn't go

I don't remember seeing it before
although there was something similar in australia when i lived there maybe they are connected?!

HA! i have done the same!! Well not the same exactly but similar!
I went to the nursery and bought lots of sweet peas and canes etc then went to dropsome cake off at my mum's and planted up some sweet peas for her then came back and planted up my sweet peas. I may be horizontal for a couple of weeks now

Blimey, that's early for sweet peas....wot if there is a frost?? I do mine in May or last week April. I have the pots and canes all ready

I've now had a big Radox bath and am fit for human companionship once more

well i've checked the forecast for the next week and there is only a medium risk of fell snow

I dunno since they were in the shop and going like hot cakes i wanted to get some before they all sold out

if it looks like frost i can always bung them in the shed over night

I have no nails lots of scratches and i need someone to go and make me some dinner as i'm not sure i can stand up.

Tut!!!! You've overdone it haven't you. You need to keep stashes of food near your bed for times like these! Isn't there a cox handy to tide you over?

I think you're right there Twass! It was so exciting to be outside though!
I think Chins took all the cox

*daydreams about mashed potato*

Mashed spud would be too much effort....but could you nuke a tato in the microwave and then mash lots of butter into it and have that?

oh that's a plan! i just need to get upright....in the words of Captain Porridge.....I may be some time.....

Good luck!! Report back when mission accomplished

still trying to get out of bed
this may take longer than i thought....

*Sneaks into thread, sniffs around*

Go down to the chippy and fetch planets some cod and chips!

*almost drowns in saliva* there aren't enough words to say how much i'd like fish and chips right now

Maybe chins would like to open a DS chippy in chatter. We'd be the first customers!!

hehehehheeh mmmmm cod and chips.....and scraps

have managed to put some tatties on to cook! hoorah!

Oh that's brilliant, what a shame you had to miss it

yes once in a lifetime opportunity to be "backstage" so to speak and to get into all the secret Jarl Squad events!!!

Still my friend sent me a link so i could watch the procession live on the internet! so i didn't miss it entirely! Would love to see it live one day. Every stays up dancing till 8am and has the next couple of days off work!!!

Excellent idea, we could make a fortune (if chins didn't eat everything).


Feeling guilty now, just in after egg and chips followed by ice cream and choccy sauce at our favourite greasy spoon. But plain spuds with butter will be much better for you

Egg and chips .................... phwoarrrr! You can't beat it. With bread and butter and a cup of tea

ditto

i am so going to have to get fish and chips soon i can't stop thinking about themsince you mentioned them
