Can't bear the fashion of giving small children choices. There were 6 of us and if you didn't eat you went hungry (our parents were wonderful, very loving, but stretched. We didn't have napkins.


I am so jealous!

Hey tk! much the same for us...no central heating or phone but we had napkins

did you have snow today?

No, but snow on surrounding hills has never really gone away. Gets a bit warm midday, and we are dying to let cows and calves out, but past experience shows they will get scour and pneumonia.

Btw, I couldn't stand egg yolk. Got used to it now, but the one thing I have never got used to is raw tomato. Pah pah (thanks Moose)

it says there's an error, they can't find what i'm looking for

You tried it before I did!! How are you so quick?? It's a fairly pathetic pic of the fjord taken on a murky grey day in January; I can't get it to work. Will try again.

I have been very weak and found a Facebook Vikings page. Spoiling it for myself

I travel back and forward in time
ooo can't wait to see!!! hope you get it working!

i'm eating apple crumble dinner was really disappointing so i needed something nice

i'm stealing myself to avoid anything vikings no youtube interviews/articles or anything just in case....but not knowing is a nightmare
ragnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar *bangs sword on shield*

ooo i could have had your yolk and you could have had my white!!! perfect!
the thing i've never been able to eat is celery. Luckily my mum hates it too so it wasn't one of the things i'd have to spend hours cleaning my plate of.

Ooooh doctor! *adores*

Mr tk hates celery too, but doesn't notice if it is added to casserole .

i have an inbuilt celery detector poor mr tk he has my sympathies....

oh you like my tardis do you?

Very impressive p!
DS has been behaving strangely today, jumping around, loading half pages etc. and ads have been breaking through adblocker.
So I gave up and went out for egg and chips

glad you like it

oh i hate it when it goes all weird friday and saturday i kept getting "dns server not responding" every other website worked except this one, dunno what was going on

Coooooo eeeee! I'm back after a fabulous weekend Weetabix for dinner two days running. Lazy or wot

living the high life eh??! did you have a lovely time?

i can't say anything about laziness i had a tuna sandwich for dinner

It was great! I got a bit lost in Waterloo Station, but found my friends in the end and we then went off to find The Vaults, which is an old underground train sort of shed thing turned into a theatre and saw All or Nothing, the story of the Small Faces. It was absolutely brilliant. No allocated seating so we piled in and elbowed ourselves into decent seats. I was so thirsty in the interval I necked a G&T in record timing even for me Got back to my pal's at midnight, had Weetabix, crashed out, up this morning and off to the nearby cafe for whopping brekkies and coffee....then we went to Aldi [we know how to live] and both got shoes in their offer of the day, then sat in the pub for ages gassing, then into the cinema and saw The Jungle Book which was fab. We sat there blubbering

awh sounds lovely!! glad you had a good time Twass was jungle book good then?

It was awesome. The Jungle was magnificent, the boy cast as Mowgli was perfect, and the *real* animals so convincing and majestic. I would recommend it to anyone

It's weird when they do remakes of such classic films - i saw the wee boy on something the other day and seemed really sweet! there's lots of famous voices in the cast aren't there? I love the idea of Bill Murray as Baloo

Baloo was great. All the animals were! The elephants were incredible. THey did it so well As we left my friend and I were gobsmacked at the mess left behind, popcorn everywhere, food cartons strewn all over the floor, drink bottles ad cups everywhere Why don't cinemas provide bins?

it's weird isn't it? it was the same years ago you'd think someone would have cottoned on in the last 30 odd years

Surely all they'd need was an announcement onscreen that there would be bins by the exit and please to put all rubbish in them on your way out. Most folks would tidy up after themselves, wouldn't they?

What with the price of popcorn in cinemas there must have been about £30 worth all over the floor!!

That sounds just perfect twass. Every six weeks or so I get a trip to Aldi, and enjoy it as if it was Harrods or some such.

I saw some good reviews for Jungle Book, glad it lived up.

the way that stuff tastes i expect they hoover it up and resell it the next day

It certainly did tk!!

I used to love Aldi when I lived in North London, and would go every few weeks or so. So offered the chance for a browse in my pal's nearest one which was close to the cinema......it was fab!


Probably do You can make it at home for PENCE!!!! Not the microwave sort....the sort in an old saucepan with a bit of lard and a spoonful of corn!!

more pottering tidying up the garden it's starting to look a bit better. i have narcissus out i love them they're so pretty!!! windy as hell here today.

Evening planets, I'm a crock this evening, I've put my back out Shuffling about like a little old lady bent in half No gardening for me

Next time you go try their cream crackers. I just bought some and I am rather taken. They aren't as flaky as Jacobs or Tescos' own etc yet I think I prefer them. They are slightly harder, about mid way between a cream cracker and a thick water biscuit. More the texture of a Bath Oliver. Quite nice and a better foil for cheese than a regular cream cracker I think.
