Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Hello friends.

Another weekend has arrived and I'm always grateful for it. Although the weather is nothing to be excited about, it has been wet the past few days and while the temperatures have been mild, it is supposed to snow tomorrow and get to -10 so I'm going have to cover my lily's that have started to peek. I hope this cold spell doesn't ruin our spring flowering season as many trees are flowering and just like @Barnfred 55 spring feels it is getting near and I can't wait.

I read everyone's post yesterday and while I didn't post, I wanted to tell @jazzy that I'm so sorry about the bad luck you table tennis club encountered a few days ago. Maybe it will be next year when it is meant to be.

@blue1948 The mushroom soup look so delicious, have you posted the recipe? I am very much a soup fan, I prepare at least one soup per week for the family.

@Gwladysover I hope your sweet Jessica begins feeling better soon. Enjoy your fish and chips too!

@Armaghtoffee I hope the boys are listening about them showing some proper committed performance the next few matches, we need that from them so we can get in a better position on the table

@anjelikaferrett sounds like you are still having a lovely time, I look forward to you posting some pics when you get back home.

@fandjango I thought you were retired, how come you have decided to get back to the labor force? BTW, your painting was absolutely stunning and so colorful, I loved it!

@Spadge Vernacular I didn't realize your house was that old, are you sure you have no ghost? ;)

@Barnfred 55 I'm glad you are going to get a refund on the cruise, but too bad I wasn't invited to go before you canceled it lol

@Terrarian I hope you are okay, we are thinking about you.

On this Friday I'm also thinking of @larbert toffee @Ducans elbow @Bluetintedspecs @roydo and would like to wish you all a good weekend.

Don't feel too bad about my table tennis clubs fortunes Sassy C.
We won 2 out of the 4 divisions , including my team. We won the Premier division , Division 1 and were runners up in Division 2.
We might have won Division 3 if we had a team in it! lol

Good start to a Friday, at the hospital with Mrs D she was playing with Nora in the backyard

She went flying on the ice, her knee is badly swollen, she could hardly walk on it, she is off for X-rays etc, she’s Scottish so a tough cookie, lots of worse things happening in the world, so all not that bad when you look at the big picture.

Best wishes to Mrs D and may your Saturday be uneventful.

Hi @Sassy Colombian I did post it but you need winter chanterelles or it is not the same .If you know any pickers they might have them dried ,these are the ones you need to find :-

Winter Chanterelle 1.4 oz Dried Wild harvested from the pristine Maine mountains | eBay

Winter Chanterelle mushroom, 1.4 ounce dried, harvested in the fall of 2019 in the pristine Maine mountains. During harvesting and process and handling we always use gloves with all our mushrooms and herbs.

Good luck ,if you get them I will repost the recipe.
It was the first dish I had when I arrived in Finland and I never tire of it .
 


I noticed this morning that our kitchen is very much in need of a deep clean. Like you dont notice your kids growing, I didnt realise how much grime and crap were on the range and the wooden cupboards.

So spent the day getting them all sparkling today. Just water and Fairy, and a few sponges, and the whole room looks absolutely brand new now! Simple things sometimes.

I get that. There is something very satisfying about a manual task and getting to see the fruits of your labour.

I’m forever putting things off until another day and sure you know how that pans out.

How are the bathrooms looking mate. That was the big culture shock to me. Hope you're keeping the sheets and bedding ticking over too.

Mind you, you were probably already up to speed with all this with Niki being poorly for a while. I'd had it easy for the last 30 years.
