Peggy's Mundane Thread

Good news. My mother broke her leg not her hip. Big difference apparently. She's had a dynamic screw inserted today. The nurse didn't really appreciate my humour though.

I didn't think I would ever say this but good news about GJ's mum breaking her leg

instead of a hip

ah.... dynamic screws ...... those were the days ......

This afternoon I will be drinking black velvet until I feel nauseous.

Come on Hull ! Wuck off Fatford !

It should be us................................................

At Yarner woods yesterday lots of Pied flycatchers, wood warbler etc.

home made sloe gin and cider with my big bruvv for luncheon

Henry Weston's vintage three for £5 in co-op. Lovely after a hot day like today.

transplanted tomato plants into bigger pots

At East Prawle on the weekend I saw a white whimbrel.

bottled lager ,peanuts and crisps. listening to EXILE ON MAIN STREET before horse racing on telly

Lots of rain was forecasted but never materialized. Went to the farmers market in town. Got trout for tonight with samphire. Never tried it before but they always use it on masterchef.

Bought enough fruit and veg for weeks, much more tasty than supermarket veg.

Also bought Kaz another pair of rocket dogs for her birthday on Saturday, black and yellow daisy patterned.

I almost bought fennel

capers,anchovies and artisan bread next

Beer with some friends then home made pizza, dough in airing cupboard.

I don't think it'll cook in there, Iggy - you need an oven (I think).

Not had a lot of time for mundanity of late, but I can report that I bought some cottage cheese down Lidls the other day.

Lovely trout with new potatoes, samphire and asparagus. I've found out I like samphire as well

Asparagus! I just hope you open the window in your toilet.

This is for all you lovers of French jazz out there.

The only one that caught my eye was the wine tasting and sumptuous supper

Peggy is right, pizza still not cooked.

Never done the bittercress. I'll google it and look. And the best area for me to pick wild ransomes around here is along a path where dog walkers go (and their dogs also probably) and horses are ridden. But what the hell.....

Well done Mapps. Pea shoots, chick pea shoots, alphalfa, I've always got some on the go, especially this time of year.
I used to skip dive too, but that's a young man's desire. It somehow doesn't feel so right on when you're getting on a bit, and attracts the wrong sort of attention.
Never tried the samphire, and don't trust my mushroom spotting capabilities either... I have to grow food now to trust it.. Have tried a narrowboat on the Ouse though, down near March on the middle levels. Strange river.
