Good afternoon. Was going to meet one of my friends for lunch today but she had to cancel, we’ll meet up on Saturday. Looks windy out there so it will be the winter coat will being looked out.
Haven’t done much today, or yesterday … was feeling a little under the weather.
By tomorrow I know I’ll be back to my usual perky self.
I learnt a new word today … plook.

Chic Murray was a Scots comedian and narrator. I liked this:
"He cut a sappy sucker from the muckle rodden-tree,
He trimmed it, an’ he wet it, an’ he thumped it on his knee;
He never heard the teuchat when the harrow broke her eggs,
He missed the craggit heron nabbin’ puddocks in the seggs,
He forgot to hound the collie at the cattle when they strayed,
But you should hae seen the whistle that the wee herd made!
Ah think Ye’d huv tae be a ‘Teuchter’ tae understaund that wan Mac 
Oh, I know what a teuchter but I’m not one of those !!
There are discussions which honorary members of this thread really do need to duck out of 
Good morning. Been raining here but it seems to be clearing away. Going into town later for a look round the shops, I need some new leggings. Bo Chic Murray was a great comediam with his one liners.

Morning, sun n Showers here but a good bit cooler. Pool, Front, Tesco all done, and the Chiropractor shortly. This afternoon there’s no plans but will see how I feel about starting the greenhouse gut and clean, can’t get in the mood at all.
Thought for today.
Overcast here. Got to replace the broken valve in the bathroom later. But before that, I’m off to my dentist to do some positive marketing thingy for him for an hour or so.
Naturally I won’t get paid for it, but maybe he won’t fleece me quite so much the next time I go for a check up.
Having marry-me-chicken for tea.
I hope your adventure, legging hunting in town goes well Val.
Rox, you and I know that the worse part is getting started. You’ll be well into it once you do.
Have a good one, each and all.
What’s Marry me Chicken?

There may be a slimming world one @May, but I think the double cream in this one is unlikely to be in the slimming world recipe books

Iceland SW stuff are a bit hit and miss, but useful at times. Although, imho, the main thing about SW is down to making it from scratch so one appreciates it more. But you know that anyway.
I wonder if the SW recipe uses an alternative to double cream as per usual? Works ok until you are given a plate with the full fat, full butter, original recipe and you suddenly recall what you’ve been missing. 
I’ve got a great lentil recipe which relies somewhat heavily on using ghee. So smooth, but you know for a fact that you’ve kissed goodbye to any progress from dieting for the week.
