Tea? (Part 2)

[I like Skol]

As long as the frog is somewhere sheltered and damp then it should be ok. It must have been local enough to have got into the garage and so it should find its way back to where it came from, in due course, now that it is back outside.

I once found a frog in the battery box of my land rover a couple of days after a bit of deep pond wading. I was a bit busy that day so covered it back up with the intention of nipping to the nearby park the next day to set it free in the wooded gulley next to the stream. I was then unfortunately busy the next day, and the next and the next and then forgot about it just as the weather took a cold turn. When I eventually found it again I couldn't tell if it had died due to drying out or had frozen to death???

Mornings. Woke up before my alarm went off. About two and a half hours before, not that I'm counting. Made my sandwiches (or hamwiches in the spirit of Arch and NT's bread and fillings friend) at about half three. Saddle and top tube bag repacked after packing them last night. Much now being consumed. Owls stopped hooting and twittwooing at 5.05am. Dawn chorus started at 5.07 (ruined slightly by the pheasants squawking and the dog snoring).

We're just back from picking up a small EBay purchase, and going to see a Steampunk artist's Open Studio on the way back. Time for and then we'll wander out to the Vintage Fair in town.

When you say a "small Ebay purchase" is that small enough to fit through the front door, or small enough to be part of a model railway?

The latter....

This afternoon I am off to Turkey to watch some in the sunshine.

 

[TVC]

Ooooh nice, enjoy Speicher

TVC, I have been watching from the comfort of my lounge.

It might, one day, be a good idea for me to visit Turkey at the time of the Tour of Turkey.

 

[TVC]

And there was me thinking you were going all exotic on us

Note to self, must persuade Lu to let me subscribe to a cable service so I can get to see cycling on a regular basis.

Quiet afternoon for me, after a 11 mile walk yesterday and 30 miles on the bike this morning, my legs have decided they don't want to play any more and suggested I spend the rest of the day on the sofa. Unlike Jens Voigt I listen to my legs.

BURN THE HERETIC!

Red Leicester is the best cheese ever.

With the crumblies close behind - Cheshire, Lancashire, wensleydale etc.

Cheddar is for undiscerning mice, and Canadians

I have spoken.

I am a Leicester Lass so I can officially dislike Red Leicester.

We were in Leeds for a couple of days over Christmas visiting TVC's family. We were in a cafe and a couple with 2 young children were sat close by, 1 child asked why Red Leicester cheese was red, dad's reply was 'I don't know, maybe it has chilli in it' clearly he has never tried it...

 

[TVC]

It's a good question though (and not one I could answer).....why is Red Leicester red?

and for that matter why is Edam made backwards

Because they add the natural colouring annatto. A man with your IQ and access to google should know that

 

[Speicher]

I thought annatto is a short Italian conversation.
