Nearly asked you the Sheffield question there Nicos and it's pikelets not posh crumpets

[Nicos]

Mmmmm......one of the things I miss over here!
I really must make my own sometime. I did have a recipe but goodness knows where I put it.

Morning all, just boring cereal on offer here today - and tea of course
Nothing much happening round here, work this morning - extra shift.
Have a great day folks

Morning pinhead oats with rhubarb for me today.

Mmmmm......one of the things I miss over here!
I really must make my own sometime. I did have a recipe but goodness knows where I put it.

I make pikelets using sourdough starter, just needs one cup of starter, 1 ts of sugar, a pinch of salt then 1/2 ts of baking powder. mix all together then add tablespoons full onto your skillet flip to cook the other side. They freeze well so they're handy to have spares.
I tried making crumpets but they kept getting stuck to the rings, pikelets are much easier.

Mornings!
Wow, I wish Molly was self catering, like Hibou, it would save me a small fortune At least Molly went straight out this morning instead of doing the usual shall I, shan't I, dance routine

I'm back to my 16/8 diet as have put on a few lbs and really don't want to lose control before xmas So just tea for me for now, thnx.

Have a good'un.

Morning Crew run out of Nutella so it was cheese on Crumpets for me this morning...

Have a good one whatever you are doing today

[bramble]

I won't say it's a "Good morning" as we are being battered here by the storm.
Driving rain and gale force winds and as dark as night.
In other words, miserable.
Had a grilled rather sandwich for breakfast this morning as it was the last one left and very tasty it was.
Nothing planned today so probably domestics.
Have a good day all,

Ah Thelma...I have put on over 8lbs in the past month. Stupid really as it takes months to lose and I'd rather have put it on over Xmas!!!!!

Hibou also gets through a sachet of food a day and has ad lib dry food but never seems to put on weight...she's a tiny little thing too!
Not fair is it????
( mind you, I think I'd lose weight if I was supposed to eat mice all day!)

The only thing I've seen her leave are moles, bats() and lizards ( minus their tails)..oh and our chooks and bunny!
Not much is safe...not even rats or stoats!!!!
You'd think butter wouldn't melt if you saw her. Such a sweet lass until it comes to mealtime.
So glad she doesn't kill much just for fun.

Thanks for the reminder Thelma I have lost two and a half stone but seem to have stuck at that for ages now, I suppose I should be trying to lose a bit more, possible if I stopped eating as much it might help

Good evening, it started off very cold here this morning, then even though the frost started to lift there was still a cold wind, I had to take my oldest grandson to the dentist for a filling, I don't know why I had to take him he has a phobia about needles but for some reason his mum or dad or gran couldn't go with him, fortunately everything was fine, after that I was in the garden for a time then by mid day it became very overcast and by 2 heavy rain, its off just now but still cold, so wrap up warm and pass on a smile

[Snoop Puss]

Evening all.

Been a bright day here but turned very chilly late afternoon. Some good news for me: taxman emailed to say they've 'ordered' my tax refund. So at least I know they've approved it, even if I don't know precisely when it will turn up. And the town hall has approved our building permit. The downside is the dog with the lump on the leg: she's getting depressed and anxious when left alone. Off to the vet's on Thursday for another check-up. It's a huge wound, according to Mr Snoop, as they removed a lot of tissue to the sides. Poor thing.

Good lunch (black-eyed bean dish from Manjula's Kitchen, recommended, if I remember rightly, by Thelma in another world and time - one of my favourites). Not sure about supper. Green soup probably.

Anyway, have a lovely evening, everyone.

Good evening again, had to take one of the grandsons to his drumming lessons to night and boy I am sorry for anyone who has to drive in that volume of traffic every day.
Though before I went out with a him i emptied a big rubble bag of wood so happy with that, it has now turned a bit milder and wet and the forcast is not good over the next few days,

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Misty again but a tad warmer. Have a good day

[Nannysally99]
