Afternoon,,,

well I got back five mins ago,, had a good shop,, ALDI!!
Didn’t get any bread making stuff cause I want a big mixer etc and they didn’t have any, so I shall get one of those first, then get some stuff,, which gives me time to read up on the process!!

the neighbor is a lovely girl,, Velma, from Lithuania,, We had a good laugh,, got a bit confused and got on crossed purposes a couple of times not least when she said can she put money into my bank after we’ve been shopping,, so I waited at the till in Aldi to pay for her shopping, a lot of it!! And she then paid!! So I thought she had no money for shopping, but she meant money for fuel!!
I of course being the gentleman I am, strongly refused the offer, much to her surprise,, but I enjoyed the company to be honest,, we had a laugh!!

so I shall just knock off my thesis in ten,, send back to oxford and await my doctorate in the post!

I’m going to learn Lithuanian this afternoon so I can communicate with Velma a bit better!!

tomorrow I may well have a go at BSL. I love improving my skill set, and what better time!!

7/8 people arrested for coughing and spitting at either emergency or front line staff, I don’t remember which!!

My friend, who is and A&E nurse, was spat on yesterday, as someone wasn’t happy with her decision not to test them. They live among us! ?

when this is over we collectively need to demand better behaviour from these people

Right I’m going out into the wide world at 9/30. Question!!!

is it worth buying ingredients and having a go at baking my own bread? If yes,, what do I need? ( need,,,, get it? Lol)

ive been trying to get the ingredients for a week Ian.

Find a recipe for soda bread Ian.

Easy, no yeast needed (nor mixer). Uses buttermilk which is sometimes hard to find but can be substituted with yoghurt/milk mix.

Brian's not keen on it but all the more for me

Stay safe, Karen xx

My dearly departed Gran, had no fridge, milk was kept in a bucket of water. Unsurprisingly a lot of milk went off... she made fabulous soda bread.

My mum also made scones with sour milk , think soda farls in the supermarket, she used to put lemon juice into fresh milk to curdle it if she had no sour. no recipe just handfuls of stuff in a bowl mix and cook on the girdle no not a typo that's what we called it in scotland was delish mine was always just edible.

Good evening,, tonight I’m posting a message from another funster, and it’s something that no one does lightly,,

the other day, on a thread the funster, Richard, f6c,,,, posted that he went to see his son in the hospice!! I thought it was a predictive text error in place of hospital, but it wasn’t !!

This morning at 6.10 his son WO2 JASON BARTON OF 6 RIFLES lost his fight with cancer,,, Jason was only 52 yrs old,but unlike so many without a loving family, he passed in the arms of his loving wife... he leaves two sons,, both boys, one of 17, and one of 11,,

my heart goes out to Richard, his wife and Jason’s family,,, I hope they can find some peace in life,, and I’m sure he will be loved forever !!

RIP Jason,, and thank you for your service!!

Can’t you move it to the U shaped lounge Ian.

reckless · Mar 30, 2020

This is too sad, I can't imagine the grief of his wife and those poor boys.

RIP Jason and condolences to his dad and family. Words are never enough.

So very sad, one member loses a much loved son, but the same day another member welcomes welcomes a healthy 14th great grand daughter. The circle of life indeed

Thinking of you and your family Richard f6c at this awfully sad time

Evening,,,

yesterday I did my little garden!
Had a good tidy, laid some free sleepers, put down a bit of bark, and a few bags of grey slate,, for a small space it’s not looking too bad!!

I’m going to have a go at growing some tomatoes and a few other things, but these will be in growbags,and not dug in ground!!

then I shal get some pots and plant them up for a bit of colour!! I also need a little table and a couple of chairs!!

today I have binge watched the series Sunderland till I die!! All about the football club,,, they ain’t had much luck, you have to feel for em!! Well made series though, it was a good watch!!

Odd job · Apr 7, 2020

It's looking good

chaser · Apr 7, 2020

Yeah looking good, seeds are a devil to find now though, everyone's getting in to it, plenty on here for gardening advice, and might even be some close to you that could fix you up.

appydaze · Apr 7, 2020

I just got my seeds from a tomato same as nature intended.
They were great last season.?
