@shezza_t is moving to .ieSome antisocial fecker is putting their bin out at midnight. That'll teach me to have the bedroom window open.
You forget how tricky it is to get the shower temperature Just Right with a shower on the taps.
Having a cuppa while the radio plays Take Five by The Dave Brubeck Quartet.
I'm starting to think #ShezzaMumsHouse has a Hum that could rival The Omagh Hum.
NTS: bring ear plugs for the next stay at #ShezzaMumsHouse
It must have been louder than usual last night: Mum's just said she had to close her bedroom window. And this is a lady who doesn't even close her window in the depths of Winter.
I made Mum a pork meatballs recipe she'd cut out from a long ago magazine and didn't get around to cooking. It went down really well and she's already planning tweaks for future cooking.
<fx: whispers> There is currently no hum.</fx>
OK, so there was a hum after all, but it had the decency to hold off until around 5am. So I’m not so much of a zombie today.
Just as well, because today is changeover day.
My brother has a friend visiting from Australia and they’re doing several short breaks in Ireland and Scotland. So when brother’s away, I’m at #ShezzaMumsHouse.
So far today I’ve packed my pruck up, changed the bed in the spare room, did a small Lidl shop and a newsagent’s run for the papers and magazines. No Woman’s Own had Mum tutting.
The joy of having an iced finger for breakfast is somewhat tempered by remembering that #ShezzaMumsHouse is not a butter house.
Spanglor@shezza_t that's fine, there's absolutely no place nor need for butter in an iced (or coconut) finger!
@Spanglor Au contraire, an unbuttered iced finger is a crime against baked bready goods.
Sean D@seanddotmedotuk Those are all damn fine carbs, and sadly not available at #ShezzaMumsHouse It does remind me I have a Lidl pretzel in the freezer though. Ta!
(The “name 5” is a reflex from the old usenet days btw)
@seanddotmedotuk @shezza_t they all have something in commonly: the doughs are enriched with fat (oil, butter, milk etc) so have that baked into them (as does the "finger")
@Spanglor Just like the way carb-on-carb is awesome :-D
