Izzit safe to bumble in?
I’ve been out for coffee with Sis and Friend, today. Tomorrow, we’ll be meeting DS (possibly DiL, too) at a half-way point down the A1 for lunch. Sunday belongs to us and Monday will be a DD, GS and Poodle day. It’s aal gan in Peebles, I can tell you! Anglesey eggs and steamed asparagus for dinner, lest anyone thinks we’ll starve.

yardarm!
Although, considering that the pigs outnumbered St Anthony, I do wonder who ended up eating whom in the desert.
Today I got the steps out, used them & braved the Tupperware shelves in the kitchen cupboard.
Only one item flew out, which I caught in my left hand!
I waited for the round of applause, which surely was my due, but it didn’t come, so found the very small container I wanted, & climbed down.
I may need an Little Lie Down now
Annan Medicinal
Please.

Sounds like a case for an Estonian Slammer. Or perhaps a case of Estonian Slammers.
Perfect, Dear Fishy
Normous, please.

Yesterday I received a gift of yer actual Coriander seeds*, so proper carrot & coriander soup can, & will be made.
*Now in an Tiny Tupperware container & sitting on top of the matching Tupperware container in which I store my Indian spices.
Happy Sigh
Yesterday I had fish from the fish & chip shop.
Today I will have a few of the chips with salt & my garlic mayonnaise.
I feel the need for summat warming & indulgent

We went to the black pool and braved the HQ of a crowd who deliver beer from on line ordering
We have an order in already but wanted to see their low and zero alcohol range
I also got a sample of other beers not ordered
Then we went to the huge Liffey valley shopping centre to the M&S store and got terribly exciting things like a new duvet cover and pillow cases and table mats covered in pretty bees
I got a very very fine pure merino wool shocking pink jumper and a nice linen top
The Bull got a nice fair isle style wool waistcoat and he looks so comfy in it
The sale rails were a scene from the whole nine circles of Hell so were avoided
A trip to Flying Tiger for tasting spoons and a new whisk was also had
Exciting boring old farts are us!
I have just been to the Tupperware shelf again…
Middle Normous Slammer needed, please.

You have to strive against this morbid Tupperware fascination, you know…
Slammer comin’ over.
I needed an container fer me coriander seeds cos I couldn’t reseal the packet.
Sometimes, only Tupperware will do…

I need to retrieve my Tupperware from all over the house
I have a couple of boxes with my Christmas chocolate in it
The Bull has several for his chocolate and there’s several with leftovers in them in the fridge
That’s tomorrow’s fun
I have antique Tupperware, some of which I bought replacement lids for.
These days I mostly use Lock & Lock, which are cheaper, & come in an excellent range of sizes & shapes, but for small & fiddly things, the Tupperware works better.
I didn’t have the ‘gimicky’ stuff, but I used to use the Tupperware Multi Server as a rice cooker at the caravan. That was donated to a friend, who was very grateful for it.

I have gone the whole Bluddy hog now & sorted out the old biscuit tin where I keep stock cubes, powders, gels & sauces.
No steps were involved this time.
Carinthia. xx
Nothing like well filed stock cubes fer promoting peace of mind.
Talking of gels, Darling, having found a rich seam of jelly crystals, up to and including pomegranate or rose flavour, I have this urge to make some jelly slice (iconic Aussie traybake involving zero actual baking). Pomegranate might be a bit too sophisticated for it, strawberry being the norm. Could it be ironic, or elevating, or something else wanky? One has to have ready & willing victims, though - it doesn’t keep like biscuits.
Ebony sends a general purr to the cellar - well, she’s here and rumbling like an idling Routemaster. Maybe it’s just fer wor Chatelaine.
Goodnight, Cellarites all

Rose sounds good, Dahlink, & I could fancy elderflower too.
Greetings to Ebony

Don’t go out on the moor!
Instead, stay in the shelter of this handy heavy-duty, weatherproof yardarm!
Tseep awroo.
