So, who wants to help ... to rattle on in the cellar?

Nowhere near as photogenic though.

I watched red kits flying above an NT place near Harrogate. Flying amongst them were pigeons & a number of largish garden birds. I thought it was daring & odd, but reading up I found that taking another bird out, mid-flight is not their forte.

Is there really much of a menu to choose from?

Having discovered that breast-feeding mothers don’t have to buy all the paraphernalia they peddle, the formula milk cohort is now trying to sell food to the mothers.

This is something they ought to have been doing in Africa instead of killing babies with formula made up using cold water: sell powdered milk for nursing mothers, who are less likely to die of disease from making it up wrong.

Going back to discussions 12m ago, today I saw that Aldi are selling turkey with giblets. Can be ordered, available from 19 Dec.

Just so you know.

In conversation with our butcher yesterday we were all of the opinion that folk only want the easy to cook things like burgers sossiges and chops

Though he was saying that he has noticed some young folk wanting slow cooker types of meats recently

We then chatted about the idiocy of spending all of December’s pay on over eating on one day and leaving no money to live on in January

He also said that folk like me who work to a list and menu plan are the ones he likes as he knows the skill is there to make his meat taste proper

i have a goulash in the oven for tonight…

Have discovered that I really don’t like Pringles- whatever flavour they purport to be -I think that it’s prolly the texture

I thought it was just me who found Pringles less than flavoursome and texturally enjoyable!

I’d rather eat Twiglets than Pringles.

Mr Bee visited M, this morning and found her to be breathless, not only on exertion*. 111 was called and a doctor should arrive before 5…BiL arrived, for his scheduled visit, so Mr Bee returned home and we’ll show our faces at the Vicar’s Christmas ‘at home’ at 3, perchance to eat Pringles. Then, back to M’s.

*I have a theory, regarding this, but I’ll keep shtum.

Amazing.

Though I do hold that the plastic top for Pringles is the World’s most pointless item. It’s there to keep the Pringles you don’t eat after opening fresh.

Go on. How does “not finishing your tube of Pringles all in one go” work ?

Apparently if you dye every fifth Pringle, it’s easier to stop. There has been actual research done on this.

I quite like 'em, more for the strength than for the flavour.

None of this is looking great, & the seasonal complications aren’t helping

Thanks, chaps and chapesses.
We have just returned from the hospital - M has been invited to stay. The wait for the 111 doctor was 8.5 hours (still counting) so we persuaded M that hospital it had to be (it really did, anyhoo) and we took her there. So much to tell, but M’s safe, we’re having wine and over to you, Dears.
