Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Good morning all on this bitter day here in Finland only -24° here ,in Lapland -38° .We have just been shopping and my next project is mini pork pies I have found a cracking chef on youtube that does them .I need to make hot water crust and although I have done it before he wants me to use lard ,not in every shop today .I managed to get a cut that the butcher says is the part I need ,the only problem is it is a piece of animal not like lard we used to have .
So I googled rendering down pork and to my complete and utter surprise it said that pork fat is very good for you as it is only second to olive oil in % of good fat .
I hope all are well and had a great night ,so happy for mrs @peteblue and to see @Terrarian up and running again ,yes I know it is Daisy doing the running but you all know what I mean. COYB.

Yep, He knows but is willing to keep it unregistered, he doesn't think he would be allowed to keep it so he isn't doing that. Like I say, don't agree but what can I do.

If it isnt registered I assume it has never been to a vet?

If it was me, I would let a vet know, discreetly. Leave it to them. Unlimited fines for breaking the Dangerous Dog Act.

Hey guys, I hope you are all well and good and had a nice xmas. Thank you all for your PMs, I've only just seen them as I've not been on at all for a while.

I'm trying to keep myself positive but struggling a bit, however I am not going to hide away, I shouldn't cut out everything I enjoy so I shall be on more hopefully.

Anyone else absolutely fed up with rain, sick of it, Going to have to buy a second coat because I can't keep them dry between walks, only bought a new one a few months ago as well.

Daisy is good, She will be 7 on Thursday, time flies doesn't it.

I have started some form of therapy, occupational therapy it's called but not sure it's any good for me but we shall see. I have to reprogram my mind which is hard but I will try.

Thanks again everyone for checking in as always.

Good to hear from you. Keep going with the OT and give it a good chance 👍. Happy birthday to Daisy for Thursday 🎂🐾
 
Good evening all. This morning at 6.30 am you would have found me at Durham Freeman Quays Leisure Centre in the swimming pool. I'm absolutely knackered. I cannot get over the number of pensioners who arrived on mobility scooters or barely able to walk without the aid of walking sticks only for them to turn into sea otters once they got into the water. I got lapped by somebody who was about 90! However I did get £1 off entry for being over 60. 😃
It's a miserable old day here - drizzly and foggy. I've just put the heating on. The cat is delighted.
Have a good evening x

Happy new year all, I’ve been missing for a few days dealing with my wife. She’s fine now and I took her down to the pub tonight where she managed to stay for nearly two hours compared to the usual thirty minutes. It was lovely to see……

Glad you had a good visit to the pub with your wife. I hope she is doing OK.

Thanks Anj. I took her to a friends party last week and she went walkabout after about15 minutes. I thought she was walking around the house but I couldn’t find her. My friend checked the upstairs then I discovered the front door was unlocked and she must have gone outside. My friend lives opposite our pub, I was panicking looking up and down the road in total darkness to see any movement then I went over to the pub to check. As soon as I walked in the guys said she was in the bar, where I found her stood with her back to the fire and happily talking to other customers. Now relieved, we said goodbye and made our way back. I’m going to have to buy a tracker….
