Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Hope you are getting slowly to grips with it as well mate.

Went for a very long walk yesterday with a good mate. An often postponed one cos of weather, and we nattered and nattered, about all sorts. IE, not just Nik.

We bumped into a mate of his, and he introduced me as "My good mate Roydo" Not, "My good mate Roydo who has recently lost his partner", so we had a thoroughly normal natter, (football, rugby, golf, traffic).

Which was just fantastic. You know, or you will soon mate.
Another step along the road .Stay strong .
 

Frozen mash is surprisingly OK. My daughter loves mash - prefers it to roasties on a Sunday dinner. I always have a back up bag of frozen mash in the freezer. Just bung it in the microwave and give it a mix every now and again.
Try your mash with very finely chopped onion in just before you mash ,if it is small enough it will cook but stay crunchy by the time it is plated .Oops just read it is in a bag!.
 
Good morning on this fine day ,I hope all had a good sleep and wake bright and shiny .
+4° here so tee shirt weather ! I am mostly doing wood again today as I clear the decks before I chop some trees down .
For those interested this is about the best time as the sap has dropped and it will now dry faster ,we will use birch which has a bark that can be used as fire lighter ,we chop it down and then let it dry for a couple of seasons .
We also ( which is a bit different ) have a barrel in the sauna and fill that with wood so it dries as we burn ,we also put a metal plate on top of the coals and cook sausages once a year or so .
Have a great day all .

That’s quite a temperature swing from a couple of weeks ago.

Brilliant idea for the sauna. The simple things are often the most genius.
 
Morning one and all.

A few shout outs first....

@Sassy Colombian hope you and Mr SC are getting better and you have good news on the job front.

@Barnfred 55 hope that your have a good journey north and that whilst the next week will have sad and poignant moments that you are able to enjoy your week.

@larbert toffee how are things with mum and dad? Travelling back today?

@Armaghtoffee hope yesterday was better than the day before and that today is even better.

OK so woke to a couple of good bits of sports related news. England putting up a fight in the final test even though it is a dead rubber. Labuschanes dismissal was absolutely hilarious.

Similarly , also in Australia, Djokovic finally gets his visa revoked by the Immigration minister. Despite Serbian protestations this must be the correct decision given his reful to be vaccinated, errors in completing the forms and his blatant disregard for safety after he tested positive.

So weather looks good so I will continue to work in the garden and tidy up for the visit of my cousin and his partner who will look after mum and animals whilst we are away.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Enjoy your gardening.
