Bit of garlic, some thyme and Bob's yer uncle: Sunday roast.

Wasn't bad.

Aye. Although she preferred Wabbit. Hare is very gamey.

Having a wee read of sommink and a Praying Mantis landed on my keyboard, walked up the monitor and sat on top giving itself what looked like a clean. It then shot off and flew at the wife who predictably yelped and did that thing she only ever does on very rare occasions, moved faster than the speed of light... ahhhhhhh nature

Yeah, they can move fast when there's an incentive...
My one found a couple of wasp's nests the other day - the hard way. She was mowing around the fruit trees in an effort to guilt me into getting the rideon out and doing the grass...So i rank it as self inflicted.
Poisoned the nests and there's not a wasp to be seen now. But as it's rained, the grass is too wet to mow anyway...I'm cheerful.

So german chocolate.

Fucking unbelievable how oversupplied places have been. Good ol consumerism.

I don't care that I missed it (which is really a lie), but 5-4 after being written off... YNWA

A great experience Mark - enjoy! Some pre-play Japanese yakitori platters at Tanuki's Cave just round the corner goes down well too

I'm getting an upgrade to electronic ignition...a cardiac pacemaker.

Hopefully a bit less maintenance....

I struggle to imagine being in a place where having a pacemaker fitted is a reason to be cheerful.
Sometimes I forget how fortunate I am.
Respect for your attitude
