A lot of Saturday was spent out in the garden. I finished strimming the edges of the lawns front and back and mowed. Spread lawn fertiliser over them and watered it in. Yesterday was *also* spent in the garden. The wife went out with the kids firstly to shop, and then to drop them off … More Weeeeed….. ?
The wife’s niece has now confirmed she and *her* husband will be arriving mid-December to stay with us as well. This will be an interesting Xmas. No idea how long they’ll be with us yet… but like I said most people seem to want to stay so it could be weeks or months. 🙂 This … More And… there's more!
In ten days the eldest, eldest daughter will be arriving with the family for and 8 week stay. The house is in turmoil as you’d imagine and we’re trying to cope with the existing chaos by adding to it as we move furniture etc around. We’re all really looking forward to her coming. We’ve not … More Just 10 days… and counting!
A main effect of the little white pills is elevated metabolism… and enhanced wakefulness which is why I take them. The downside of the pills is that in the begginning they *do* tend to keep me awake at night. Not that I’m complaining as such, even though I’m sort of sleepy… I’m just not sleeping. … More Hardly any sleep.
I was commenting in the other blog how much I’ve come to rely on the Modafinil that Stephen Parsons (the ‘diet doctor’) prescribed for me some months ago. A week or so ago I ran out of little white pills and whilst I *could* have got a repeat prescription from my local GP, I thought … More Modafinil Blues.
Yet again chaos loomed over The Dog’s household today when at 1:15 p.m. he took a call from the eldest daughter informing him that she’d like him to come to her school to watch her perform in a lunchtime concert. She was playing her flute solo, and in the Junior Flute Ensemble. Seems like a … More Who'd have kids.
I’ve not actually tried this yet… but I can almost *taste* it already. I think it will make quite a pleasant meal. For myself (to maintain the diet) I might substitute almonds for the peanuts, although that would change the flavour substantially from it’s essentially ‘Indonesian’ roots to something quite different. After all, by leaving … More Could be a tasty recipe!!
As you see in the comments, the sister kindly passed on a url with “15 Things to do with Rosemary” so I had a butchers hook and saw most are suggestions for use with food… as you’d expect… but you’d have to use it pretty sparingly for some ideas. It’s such a strong flavoured herb … More More with Rosemary
Obviously chucking handfuls of Rosemary over your lamb is a way of using up some… but I have *buckets* of it! Thing is what *else* can I do with it?? The damn thing is taking over the garden! Yes it’s pretty… sort of… but it’s so big… and so… useless! Any ideas to what useful … More Rosemary? What do I do with it?
I knocked up yet another blog site yesterday. Not for me but for my trainer Sally who has boon looking after me so I’m returning the favour. The look of the place is ok, but it’s odd. Despite them all being different… they’ve all started looking the same. I’ve been looking for a ‘fitness’ related … More Yet another blog
