Only thing I've been struggling to get is sparkling water, wine and lager seem to be in plentiful supply :DQuote:

I can provide you plenty of toilet roll free of charge (no purchase necessary). Only used one side :)Quote:

a good few things here are often either out of stock regularly or not now available here. its not disasterous but its getting a bit worse. still water is a hard one. anything in season outwith the locale, especially out of uk like fruit etc.Quote:

got food coming tomorrow again. should do me for a while. going to make a green bean and spicy tomato dish if the beans come:eyebrows:
Nice one. Is it out of the Bryn Williams book you got recently - or if not, have you used it yet?;)
Marco.
I got the idea there but found a recipe online that's closer to what I wanted.
Be nice with meat on side and maybe roasties.
You don't need any meat, daftee - the whole idea is that the veg are the star of the show!:ner:;)
However, bulk it up with some tatties, by all means.
Marco.
Yeah I know but I've some meat to use up. But there will be plenty left got a vegi feast too.
Is it from that beef joint? If so, why not do a curry with it? I don't think meat should ever be served 'on the side', as sort of token gesture. It should be the main event, much like the veggie dish you're doing:)
Marco.
Or it can be the side to another meat dish, like turkey with bacon. In America you can order a side of bacon with pretty much anything.Quote:

Not so excellent when she recycles it all over the carpet :( That's the thing with cats, they know all about revenge.Quote:

When everything in your life is right on track, it's easy to believe that things happen for a reason; it's easy to have faith. But when things start to go wrong then it's very hard to hold on to that faith. It's hard not to wonder whose reasons these things happen for. People like to examine the things that frighten them, to look at them and give them names, so saints look for God, and scientists look for evidence. They're both just trying to take away the mystery, to take away the fear. We all like to think that we have some control over the events in our lives, and a lot of the time we can fool ourselves into thinking that we really are in charge. But then something happens to remind us that the world runs by its own rules and not ours and that we're just along for the ride.
Think you've posted that on the wrong thread, daftee!;)
Otherwise, it's a bit random...
Marco.
why; it was just something for folk to readQuote:

Over there, what you've just written makes more sense:)
Marco.
it could be copied there too i suppose. profound thoughts is for all tho and many wont read that thread:)Quote:

You should always read stuff that's uncomfortable because it challenges your preconceptions, if by doing so, you might learn something new.
How's that for profound?;)
Marco.
na, needs work..:ner:Quote:

She says she's tired, after a difficult day with some problem students, so afterwards I'll run her a bath, so she can chillax. Usual routine there too, of course... Just the RIGHT amount of bubbles, with the water at just the RIGHT temperature, and a glass of chilled Prosecco delivered, before I close the bathroom door and leave her to it (face time with pals on her phone) lol!
She's just about worth it, though;)
Marco.
ah poor soul.. problem teens; all one needs, the little buggers. my granson is 14 next week. he will soon become obnoctious im betting;)
Lol, indeed. She's generally good with them though, as they think she's 'cool'. She's had umpteen emails from her students who missed her badly when she was off work with Covid. Autistic kids can sometimes be more challenging, though.
However, this is her first week back with students, and it was like some sort of celebrity had walked in the door, with her 'fan club' all going YAY, Del's back!:yay::carrot:
They didn't like her replacement much, as she was no fun, lol. Del plays games with them and all sorts, and just acts like a big kid herself, but at the same time successfully teaches them the required curriculum. That's why she gets results (and is also so highly though of)!
Marco.
dance gal...

Lol... You know she likes a boogie in her bare feet!:D

Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.Quote:

I see Gavin Williamson has been booted from his job as Education Secretary. I wonder where he'll go now to say nothing useful?
scottish office?:DQuote:

Marco.
Had my right ear cleaned out the day before yesterday, bloody big lump of very dark wax came out.
I hadn't realised quite how much my hearing had deteriorated. But also, I just feel happier/more active - could just be a psychological effect, but bugger it I feel good :dance:
Good stuff. Try a colonic next, and you'll be ready to run a marathon!:D
Marco.
Wouldn't mind :booty:Quote:

Despite the writing having been on the wall for non-renewable fuels for generations, the suppliers apparently have been unable to redirect their investments and now want compensating. Unbelievable!

I do love my job, but I never called it 'living the dream'. That's just silly talk :D Anyway, who gets to live the dream as soon as they retire? A few maybe, but nobody I know. For most of us life is rather more complicated than that.Quote:
