Belated Christmas good wishes to everyone.
We had our usual pilgrimage up to the frozen north (which it was !!)
The roads weren't too bad on the journeys but the fear of black ice is always there especially when the temperature dips to -8.

Wisteria Lane has in fact moved to Gullane, hopefully it is doing okay there.

teddygirl

Beautiful frog Marya, thanks for that

The Brighton boys as I fondly call them are still doing well and performing their duties admirably although one of them (Ernie) is looking a bit arthritic these days and very much a wee old man.

Men who walk behind you (nearly every morning

) making disgusting gobby noises in their throat then proceeding to spit the results on the ground.

They also won a silver gilt medal for their pallet garden at Gardening Scotland recently and came first in a composting competition last week.

teddygirl

Well I don't hang mine in any order and I don't have the patience to hang out socks, they get left inside,thrown over a rail...............but, I do like to colour co-ordinate my pegs, they have to be in pairs and preferably match the colour of the garment they are securing.

This thread has just reminded me that I need to clean the dog puke off the back seat of our car, it's only been there a week

teddygirl

Normally I do put wrong mail through the relevant letterboxes if they are local but last week I got a dentist appointment card for someone with a similar address to mine, only it was in Eddleston ! Had to put that one back in the Post box I'm afraid

teddygirl

Happy Easter to you and yours too Catz. Hope you are well.

Happy Easter to everyone else too of course.

There was a woodpecker busy at work in the Figgate Park yesterday. It was in the 4 large trees that are at the East end off the park, near to the entrance next to Duddingston Park. There was also a Cormorant last week in the 'pond'. :D Wow, I've never seen a woodpecker there before. I've seen lots ...

It always rains in Oban! Apart from one time in the 80s when Mr Soupy got sunstroke there Excuse me Soupy I beg to differ. We went to Oban for a long week-end two years ago and prior to our arrival it had been glorious sunshine for a month (Sept/Oct)....unfortunately it rained for most of the time ...

I've just been on and witnessed a very intimate moment

Mr Osprey has definitley arrived.

Ladies you could rattle up some tasty snacks for homer and his pals on their. Next trip. ... Meanwhile police are still investigating why 80% of portobello's middle aged women possess knowledge of how to break into a public toilet. What do you all do in there and do you ever bump into each other? I...

Nowt wrong with knitting..........I do it, or rather I used to and am going to start again. I've knitted most of my life so it's not just for little old ladies :evil: Rachel, my goddaughter who ran the knitting club in Sophies bar has made a career out of it, she has written a few books, runs worksh...

We had a take away on Saturday night too,and decided to try the Tiger in (after a discussion on take aways on another thread). We were quoted an aprox 40 min wait and it was bang on. Food was lovely too, couldn't fault it at all. Will def use them again

teddygirl

I see Select is closed until further notice..................anyone know what's going on there ?

I'm another monkey and guess what, I'm married to a dog, now there's a surprise

teddygirl

We've just finished ours but I took the lazy way I'm afraid and microwaved it for six minutes................delicious

Still had to cook the potatoes and turnip the conventional way though so had to start cooking a lot earlier anyway.

teddygirl

Tiger in is my fav. Only like one dish from 108 - noodles with chicken and chili black bean sauce. Can anyone recommend another from here, that is good? Where is the Tiger in ? We use the 108 or the Chi Wai but they are not consistent, sometimes the food is lovely then the next time it's rubbish. I...

We were put on to this just recently and are in the process of filling in the form just now. Not sure if we will get anything but it's worth a try.

teddygirl

Well I would go for it Porty, I think my battle with the bulge(s) probably all started when I gave up cycling. As a child I cycled everywhere and at fifteen went on a cycling holiday round the north east of Scotland stopping at places like Tomintoul, Corgarff, Braemar etc (rather hilly to say the le...

I've never known Sandra to be bitchy........................some people can be incredibly insensitive though.

Did you have a good week-end in the lovely Keith then ? I come from Huntly and know there was plenty of snow there, especially on Friday.

That just reminded me I used to collect beer mats in the seventies, I had them stuck up all over the place.

teddygirl

Well, I've got more than one problem so you can have your pick

teddygirl

Our street has been quite bad recently, don't know who the culprit is though.
It's very annoying when you have a dog yourself and might get blamed for it even though you clean up.

teddygirl

Oh boy. where do I start with this one. I've always collected things. As a child I collected all sorts, badges, key rings, stamps, coins, cards from sweeties of various sorts, cactus plants, model horses and model dogs to name just a few. Now that I have grown up I am more selective in the things I ...

As long as it's not someone behind the bushes having a tinkle

teddygirl

They have visited the Daisy Park the last couple of winters but haven't seen any this year yet. Sometimes you hear them before you see them, they make a lovely tinkling sound

A wee update, a friend of mine was walking along the Prom about that time and saw the Police dusting for finger prints on the window of the flat right on the corner of James Street so looks like it was a break in or an attempted one there.
