Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Bluetintedspecs]

Hiya folks . apologies for not being in here , although I’m sure nobody has noticed ! got a lot going on a the min and some of it not great so I’m keeping my head down internet wise . That said I feel like I’m letting the side down by not popping in so here I am .

Regards to everyone especially @messymascot and @Barnfred 55 but basically the mascoteers. Rest assured I’m not surrendering my membership card and I’m fully up to date with events .

Keep well gang .

No need to apologise Harry. Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, at the moment. Despite that, you've been good enough to pop in and say hello, so that says a lot about you. We're here for you if you need to talk.

Look after yourself and I hope everything works out for you mate.

Morning Messy, Fred and the rest of the gang.

@messymascot We all missed you yesterday mate. It would be great to hear from you, but if you're not feeling too strong today it's just good to know you're still logging on occasionally and reading all our supportive posts. I see you logged on yesterday. Not that I'm stalking you. lol

What a brilliant thread you've created here mate.

Good morning @messymascot and the many amigos visiting this thread.

I’m getting ready to go to the gym and then later today I need to begin prepping some food for Thanksgiving. I’m going to be making a pumpkin pie from scratch so today my kitchen challenge is making some good flaky pie crust. For now I’m going to be heading to the gym to workout the extra pounds that I will for sure be gaining later this week ? @jazzy before Covid one of my favorite activities after exercising was spending time in the sauna and steam room but to be honest I haven’t been back because I still have some hesitation and fear that Covid could be spread more easily in such humid surfaces (maybe is not the case). And while all of our family is vaccinated, my daughter only has gotten her fist jab so we still have to be cautious. But I surely miss the the sauna and steam room.

Karl, we are thinking of you, missing you and hoping today we get to hear from you. Sending a big hug and a kiss you way. Xoxo

Morning Messy, Fred and all. Bright day here again today after a clear night with moon shining. Boiler service this morning and then a walk to our local park for a coffee. Hope to see you posting again today Messy. Have a good day, mascoteers!

Morning Gwladys. Morning Messy. Hope you had a peaceful night and we hear from you today. Morning all.

Right, confession time. Which one of you was the first to coin the phrase "mascoteers". Come on. Own up. lol

If you're into saunas Sass you need to have a word with @blue1948. They do some weird stuff in Finland with twigs and branches that I think might be right up your street.

Harry, nice to have you back. I’m sorry to read that you have a lot going at the moment. Remember we are here for moral support if needed. X

Hope everything OK mate.

Alright Harry, sorry things aren't running too smooth for you at the moment, good of you to pop in, we're here to help if needed.

Sorry things aren’t great for you at the moment and you certainly aren’t letting the side down. Hope things pick up for you soon. As you aren’t surrendering your membership I’ll be round for your subs soonlol Take care.?

. Was wondering were you where-thought youd gone to watch the Crawford fight lol, for some reason everytime i see your name i think you're Steve Bunce - absolutely no idea why mate, Used to think @Barnfred 55 was fred a 66yo fom Barnsley till he ruined it and told us it was after his 2 dogs. Hope things turn round for the better soon mate.

Thanks folks , I’m fine and I promise the post wasn’t my way of eliciting a “you ok hun ?” response

That said it is really illustrative of this thread that everyone seemed genuinely concerned, although in this case it really wasnt necessary it is however appreciated .

I’ll be back soon but rest assured I’ll be keeping keeping a watching eye .

Use this recipe for your pastry, it's a doddle.

Quick Flaky Pastry

Quick Flaky pastry is really a cheat's version, because it doesn't involve the turning, rolling, resting all the palaver that go into the real thing. The advantage is that what you get is a home-made pastry made purely with butter, which gives a texture and flavour that are quite unique and...

Just back from getting my hair cut. Didn't quite turn out as I expected.

I discovered the barber I normally go to has closed down, so I had to go to the other one in town. It's run by a lady from Warrington and I've been there before. Cal used to go there too because they also do lady's dry cuts, and she had a cut just before the cruise.

Turns out the lady recognised me (probably when I opened my gob and she realised I was a scouser) and proceeded to ask me how the cruise went. Well I wasn't expecting that and just broke down. 5 minutes later I was fine and was telling her all about what happened. but it's those few words, "she died " or "she's passed away" that I just can't seem to get out of my mouth.

Anyway I'm ok now. I have my haircut that will do me for a couple of months and is one less thing to worry about.

Just going to clear up some of the leaves from the back before it get's dark.
