Gemstone Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hope you are all OK I've done sleep, work and look after the animals for the past couple of days and nothing else, I've surfaced to get some food. My nose is all flappy and bleeding from too much blowing and snottiness. I think its a song thrush. I have one mooching about outside my front door and it seems a bit lethargic. Ive been putting food and suet out for all the birds, but this one has seemed lethargic. I got worried about it not being able to fly or fend properly, so ive made a den out of a bucket where it tends to run for cover, put some hay and shredded paper in and hopefully given it warm shelter for the night. Awww you are very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesB Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Really fed up of the snow now I set off from Newcastle early on Friday morning to pick my mum up from near Hull, and have only been back a couple of hours Had a horrendous drive down, with snow and black ice and no working windscreen washers, to find it snowing like mad at mums. As it was getting dark I didn't dare risk the drive back so we found a local pub with rooms and holed up there last night. Involved much buying of emergency pyjamas and ringing of mext door neighbour, dog walker and OH (who works in london through the week, and hadn't taken his house keys ) to set up arrangements for dogs and hens, plus a visit from the lovely AA man this morning to get the car going. Nearly got a tow home but had to settle for driving us back in blizzards and ice but with working windscreen washers at least. My nerves are in shreds. I have never been so glad to see my own bed and toilet seat. I hope everyone is OK. Since the board was upgraded I only get one chance at reading new content, and can't read back once I've opened a thread so I have no idea what's going on with everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Egg and chips - NO SAUCE at all please! Just salt and a little vinegar on the chips and black pepper and salt on the egg. Eat with a slice of bread and butter. Any left over chips are either in a chip sarnie or dipped in Hellmans. No sauce !, are you posh ? Chips n gravy, yum yum. Also chips and curry sauce - chippy at the top of the road does a mean chips n curry sauce Chips and curry sauce, now were singing from the same hymn sheet, the Chinese take-away in Falkland does a fab chips and curry sauce. Hope you are all OK I've done sleep, work and look after the animals for the past couple of days and nothing else, I've surfaced to get some food. My nose is all flappy and bleeding from too much blowing and snottiness.

I am nominating myself for thicko numpty of the month, I have a plaster plaque in the shower room that I bought about 6 years ago at the Highland Show, I have only just this very evening, worked out that what I thought was a jumble of letters, possibly in a foreign language, is in fact written backwards ..It says, Only the curious find life a mystery, took me six bloody years to figure that out, I'd be s*** as a code cracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safneo Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 EFD was found a couple of months ago by a lad who rescued her from heavy traffic on a roundabout near Llanelli Bus Station. He did all the right things, took her to vet for scan and checkup, put posters up but failed to find her people. He would have kept her but landlord says she has to go. No room at local rescues so I am providing emergency billet. She will be moving on shortly to rescue and will not be in a kennel but in rescuer's home. Vet thought she is around 16. She is deaf, arthritic and very confused, possibly has dementia. Polly likes her but Wispa doesn't and might bowl her over by accident even if she did like her. So little dog is sharing spare bedroom with the Syrian foster hamsters, who are up on a table so not bothered about a jrt x yorkie scuttling about. She is, thankfully, a very quiet dog. Aaaaw, I do hope she finds a forever foster very soon so she can settle CT, I have found lipsil is fab on sore chapped noses too. Chips n curry sauce....... yummy! Julia, I hope you have made room on the sofa now! @ Celeste. You dont do a lot of reading in the bathroom then! We have been to see Avatar in 3D this evening. I have to say its the best film I have ever seen! Total stunning, spectacular... I am not really a film person and I want to go see it again.

merledogs Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Morning Is nummy, specially if you have the proper mango chutney with big chunks in it Noooo, mango chutney is only nice when you pick the horrible lumps out And egg yolk must be mixed with tommy sauce and then have chips dipped in.
