Coffee - very strong coffee.
Have a craving for toast and marmalade for some reason but making do with black cherry jam.
It's not the same.

Was watching QI the other night and they were talking about the latest Scottish culinary delight of a deep-fried Kebab!!!!!!

It has about 45 grammes of fat.

Good morning all.
Jonathan wasn't up to much last night but he's great for sending you to sleep.

Haven't been sleeping well recently but pleased to say I had a very good night and didn't get up 'till 9.30, can't remember when I last had such a long lie. Luckily my darling Freddie (that's the dog not Mr TG for those that don't know) has a very good bladder and likes a long lie too.

It was all that talk about housework that made you think of me wasn't it?
I didn't go anywhere last night but my bed. I had an SQA meeting to attend, which lasted all today, so was forced to be sensible.

very nice
Polish. It owes it name to a aromatic grass which grows wild in the eastern part of Poland where bison live in their natural habitat. (there is a bit of grass in the bottle).
Best served from the freezer or mixed with apple juice.
Sounds like it was one of those online parties last night again!!!
So that blade of grass in the bottle? And the bison? If that's part of their natural hbitat, did the bison eat the grass first or was the blade of grass picked after the bison did the toilet on it??
[/quote]Are you supposed to clean ovens ? I wish I didn't have to but sometimes it gets a bit smokey in the kitchen if I don't
Windows is another job that I'm not too keen on, reckon I should clean them when I can't see out them anymore!!!
Husband's just given me a "cuaranta y tres" (43)
So after a few of those I could probably clean anything!!!

Why be scared????

It was, we had hand made burger, onion rings and chips. With 3 bottles of Moon Valley wine at £9.95 a pop, top value.
I am not really a football fan but the game was the most enjoyable couple of hours I have spent outdoors for ages. Entertainment does not do it justice. We then went to the roseburn bar,which incredibly was my first time. Then on to all bar one, where we were joined by Bruce and a few of his pals. As Haircut One Hundred are fond of singing; Fantastic Day.
So that was 3 firsts yesterday: First Coast, Roseburn Bar and meeting Bruce in all bar one. There was also a fourth first; I heard the term "binge alcoholic"...............its got me worried.

You can always talk it over with me on the Xmas night out...
I can give you lots of information about it if you like too...as you know. Working in an environment where you can't escape the facts, figures and effects on lives certainly makes you stop and think before each drink. I never was a big drinker but I drink a lot less now.

All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt!
