Hear hear PM...shhhh don't tell anyone but I've just staggered back with 40kilos of coal (not smokeless) several bags of Kiln dried logs & this is the most secretive so shhh several bags of wet logs (the outlawed ones) will be lighting the fire soon...if the evidence has gone there's no case M'Lud...absolutely cream crackered now.I just feel I am doing my best, like we all are, and they should be worrying about fixing the floods not picking on individuals
Love it MC reminds me of the church yard in the classic scene from Dickens Great Expectations...when the prisoner grabbed Pip by the gravestones (not that there's a church yard in sight)...beautifully evocative but a little scary.Muddy Cycle ride did not happen far to windy and wet. So quick watercolour sketch long A4 25 minutes inspired by a Windswept Heath close to home stunted tree on a prevailing west wind.

It’s very nearly road kill season over the moors and this year we are promised a large number of road kill carrots and mangle wurzles. Sad really, I do like a bit of rabbit and pheasant.Those of a pet fixated and minimal sense of humour please read no further. This posting will only offend you.
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those eco warriors, remember greenpeace was anti nuclear, then some intelligence was applied to their policies and they became pro nuclear, but with sound reservations.
A young 6.7 this morning it appears my intimidation tactics are working with my meter, but it's still on probation.
Still with me?
Yesterday I went to the Pet Recipe and Road Kill recipe writers convention, held at a secret location in Twickenham close to the famous HQ. Invite only and very hush hush. Many famous chefs with assumed names were in attendance sharing recipes and techniques. Really interesting stuff. The highlight is always the evening meal, usually 4 or 5 courses, unfortunately not a great deal of low carb, but if your careful you can eat sensibly.
Unfortunately the venue made a slight error.......
The main course and highlight was, yep you guesed it VEGAN. The chef had been got at by the animal rights lot.

Thanks but I am not sure about the fbg. Had a scratch dinner with two pieces of cod loin baked with a jar of Sacla olive & tomato paste, some diced red pepper and extra olives. Bit ready, steady, cook but very tasty. That pic looks like an old tin mine? Take care out in that weather, said it before Dennis is a very clever boy.
Pillar fruit trees will be on order pdq - probably 1 more session removing all trace of previous stupidity. Flying machines galore but also surrounded by forest and vast stacks of tree trunks/logs everywhere. Interesting mix.Good Morning and a 5.8 today. Windy and wet here I was hoping for a Muddy Bike ride, some sun promised, fingers crossed.
I feel we will be demanised into not burning wood, I burn only Kiln dried but already my neighbours are keen to point out 'you won't be able to have your wood stove lit very soon' A bit like what will happen with diesel and petrol cars. A changing world.
Agree re Tilley Hat but so useful, UV protection, warm and cool, looks better the older it gets and it can be washed. Apparently even guaranteed to be replaced if lost or wears out no matter how old. Love the view from your window.
Sounds good fun, I used to love flipping them, the higher the better. Enjoy!
Wow, another winning piece of art. A dark brooding place of vast heights, or a gentle flow between some small rocks, I can see either depending on how I look at it.
@dunelm Trampoline! I'm impressed with your present aches and pains, take care.
@ianpspurs you seem to be cracking on with your garden, when is your first crop going in?
So enjoy today and be adventurous.
Thanks it was really nice. I bought the cod loin and wondered what to do with it but looked in the cupboard for inspiration and put the jar to good use. Mr PM approved too. Next time I will do it on a bed of wilted spinach. No 1 son is visiting us Thurs to Sunday to sell his car which has been hardly used since he went and of course he’s off to the footie Thurs night. It will be hard to keep tidy for viewings so much going on. I wonder what the hermit’s life was like there.It’s just a great big lump of granite, the remains of a hermit’s dwelling are still visible at the top but the rest of it is entirely natural.
Your dinner sounds lovely, and a 4.8 first thing can’t be bad.
Is No 1 son moving back home or just visiting next week? Safe journey to Mr PM by the way.
Morning...lots of energy here from Charlie & Lola as they stalk one of the many hair grips they've stolen while I tuck into my first Lemsip Max of the day...not sure if I'm feeling better but I'm up & pottering about so that's a bonus...still coughing and blowing my nose on the quarter hour half hour & the hour...my voice sounds like Orson Welles in the sherry advert even the kittens are impressed with it at least they seem to be paying attention for once... a slight improvement waking with a 6.9 and fortunately I didn't have to go out yesterday...may try a little potter down to get some logs once it stops raining.

A11 between here and Thetford regularly has deer by the side of the road. Not muntjac these are large. I assume hit by lorries as they would make a mess of most cars. Quite a new hazard for us.It’s very nearly road kill season over the moors and this year we are promised a large number of road kill carrots and mangle wurzles. Sad really, I do like a bit of rabbit and pheasant.
Just had a call from work told them I was ill and staying at home...I have ventured out for kitten food logs coffee & coal essentials lunch is in the oven no intention of going out again...C&L having a wonderful time charging in & out the garden door open for half an hour...Lola bless her proudly presented me with a small twig with a couple of leaves sprouting from it...she's a generous soul.Sounds like a rotten lurgy, hope you can stay in the warm again today
I don't believe any of us here are 'pet fixated' or lack a sense of humour...some of us are animal lovers and some subjects are just not funny...if you know your posts may offend why on earth do you post them?Those of a pet fixated and minimal sense of humour please read no further.
I would just add that owning a pet and having a sense of humour are not mutually exclusive as many forumites regularly prove.I don't believe any of us here are 'pet fixated' or lack a sense of humour...some of us are animal lovers and some subjects are just not funny...if you know your posts may offend why on earth do you post them?
Used to scare me that scene, still have nightmares about it.Love it MC reminds me of the church yard in the classic scene from Dickens Great Expectations...when the prisoner grabbed Pip by the gravestones (not that there's a church yard in sight)...beautifully evocative but a little scary.
Agree MC but what a film eh!Used to scare me that scene, still have nightmares about it.
