A Wee Dram or Three

Going Back in Time

Right!

Showered, shaved, dressed, fed and watered.

Next, I have a train to catch. I'm off here for a day out.

I hope to get some good photos while I am there and will post them as soon as they are sorted.

No time to waste, I'm off to the station to catch a train.

Nautical but Nice

This is my Nephew's latest project. The intention is to bring it back to its former glory:

These are some he turned down!!

 

I'll try to keep you all posted on developments as and when they occur.

Splice the Mainbrace!

Another Mouth to Feed

I have a new visitor to my garden:

Mistle Thrush.

I now have around a dozen different species visiting my feeding station. It's costing more to feed them than it is to feed me!!

Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics

I have just had a quick browse through my Stats.

The furthest visitor is recorded at 11,289 miles.

The nearest is recorded at 19 miles.

SWMBO is a frequent visitor who lives roughly 2 miles away, yet her visits are recorded at 53 miles.

Go figure!

How Could They?

So, Apple have launched their latest Gizmo. of course, it had to have a name!

Introducing the New Apple iPad:

Busy Little Bee

Laundry: Done

Kitchen: Done

Snow Clearing: Done

Beer: Drunk

I have a Chicken Curry slowly cooking away which will be served with Basmati rice.

I have a nice Italian white wine chilling in the fridge.

Now I am gonna put my feet up and chill out with a couple more beers.

Calorie Neutral Dessert

1. 3 Tablespoons Brandy
2. 3 Tablespoons White Wine
3. 6 Tablespoons Clear Honey
4. 1 Pint Double Cream

Mix the Brandy & Wine in a seperate bowl

Pour the double cream and honey into a stainless steel mixing bowl and whisk until the cream starts to thicken.

Pour the Brandy/Wine mixture into the mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture forms peaks.

Divide the mixture into 4 serving dishes and place in refrigerator for two hours.

Sprinkle grated almonds on top of dessert and serve.

ALL the calories contained in the dessert have been neutralised by the effort imparted in the whisking.

ENJOY!!!

Sun, Blue Skies, Snow.....

It's the second day that we have had sunshine and blue skies, but the temps are freezing and the four to six inches of snow we had earlier this month is still around.

I am still getting quite a few squadrons of birds at my feeders, so at least they will survive.

I have a beef stew cooking away in my crockpot, so I will survive.

I seem to have shrugged off my "Man Flu" and am feeling much better.

If it is sunny tomorrow, I may take a walk and photograph some of the snow scenes.

That's it for now, I'm off to stir my stew and make some dumplings.

It must be winter

We've had a little snow....

Nothing too serious, just enough to shut schools, prevent garbage collection, etc.....

Birds had plenty of food...

"Can I come inside?  It's cold out here!"

I just love snow!!

Do not sit too close to the screen!!!

I am not in the best of health at the moment. I have headaches, sneezing fits, aching muscles and coughing bouts.

In other words, I have "Man Flu".

Now don't start writing my obituary just yet, it may be bad but it ain't terminal!

I am taking the "appropriate" medications! Whisky, Honey,  "More whisky,Honey",  "Thanks, Sweety".

I think I will crawl back to bed, after another whisky!
