I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I really have to pull myself together and stop thinking of all this stuff 🙂 But toad-in-the-hole… with mashed spuds and swede with butter… plated cabbage with cracked pepper… and gallons of thick onion gravy….. oooooohhh… orgasmic. When I was young my mother used to make the loveliest Bakewell Tarts… almonds… raspberry jam… lordy but … More Toad in the hole…
I love Yorkshire puddings… not had one for years… as previously… nobody but me likes them much… and really that ‘stick to your ribs’ food isn’t suited to the weather in Australia… but even so… the sight of that puffed up crunchy crispy batter making its way from dish to plate always made my mouth … More Yorkshire Pudding
Kim Beazley, born again ALP leader, made another major blunder when he passed on to the wrong person his sympathies on the death of his wife. Rove McManus lost his wife Belinda Emmett earlier this week, but our leader in waiting made yet another of his trademark blunders when he gave his sympathies to Karl … More Beastley's boo-boo.
Decided to work on reducing petrol consumption to see how low I can go. Just before the service the average petrol I used in Tte Voyager was 14.7Litres/100 kilometres. Since the service it’s been down as low as 13.4… no idea how far down it can go… but it’s fun trying 🙂
Two tablespoons of high cocoa butter chocolate is good for your heart… official! I like 70% chocolate… any more is just too bitter for me… tho I can just about take 80% if forced. Seems it is as good as aspirin for reducing clotting risks. 😀 So… diet or not… off to the shops we … More Chocolate, chocolate… good for the heart!!
Getting boring now… I need to move on. However it’s getting clearer I have a mix of Aspergers and ADHD… both at a high level maybe but still there. I still believe it’s almost certainly aggravated by my diet. I really don’t recall being quite this bad while I was in either college… and at … More Again with the ADHD
Having got sworn yet at again by our resident “career victim” I’ve decided to drop out of Australian Opinion. I’ve been there virtually every day for the past 18 months and I think I need a break from it. Ok I know mods are supposed to above all that… but there are limits even for … More The 'other place'
In the UK Posties tend to be on foot… walking up and down streets, up and down steps, stairs, driveways etc… filling letter boxes and moving on. Here in Oz of course things are never that simple. The posties races around neighbourhoods on mopeds with sacks full of mail in panniers on the side. Done, … More It's a weird old place this – 2
Hot on the heels of yesterdays weather prediction… or maybe cold on the heel?… the temperature has dropped to just 11ºC… it ain’t warm out there! So how did I spend my time on this cold and blustery day? I was out in the cold of course… mowing the grass, blowing away the cuttings and … More Lordy it's cold!
Over the past few weeks a fire has been quietly burning in the Blue Mountains… currently it’s raging betwen the towns of Bell and Mt Victoria (but about 3 k from each) and is being fanned by high winds. So far it’s destroyed somewhere in the region of 10,000 hectares… yet tonight the place is … More It's a weird old place this
