A letter from work telling me I’m at a meeting tomorrow discussing options for “amicable parting of the ways”, due to the current financial situation (or lack of one). Many thanks Brexiteers, but I’m not entirely sure exchanging a decent, well paying job for a nebulous, uncertain future I can’t pay ...

FWIW, if you ever met my parents you would wonder how I'm as level-headed as I am - I should be an immature nutcase . I really do stand out from them

Trust me when I say, you’re not the only one who has come out sensible despite their family.

A can of Calsburg larger this afternoon, as I gave our new neighbours a hand with one of their old stable blocks. I left it on the wall half drunk whilst we cracked on, then went to finish it off about 10 mins later. It wasn't the fact that it had become lukewarm as I thirstily glugged it down that...

Thought you’d flogged the SD to put that sort of temptation out of your way Nutz, glad to see that’s working out for you!

Happy Birthday BB41! Hope you have a great day and the animals are in a good mood for you!

Karma eh, it’s a bitch.

But now you have me drooling for rice pudding

One of those things I loved as a kid, but tasting them as an adult leaves cold, suet meat puddings are another one exactly the same.

Same bottle, I’m rationing myself, I also discovered a sediment at the bottom that adds a different flavour if you make sure it’s distributed evenly throughput the bottle like German Weissbier. Smooth.

Who else but a Sunderland lad would want to throw all his dry days away for a night on the pop without a thought for all the aftermath? Unless he wasn’t serious of course.

I’d have a rebellion on my hands if I didn’t take Mrs Gee, it all depends on story and character as to whether I enjoy it - plus I get to book a restaurant for after!

Oh...I could be persuaded. Binge-drink on a Saturday night...take an AA "newcomer chip" first thing Sunday morning. I love it when a plan comes together. I’ve known you too long to believe that, your latent Sunderland genes might want you to, but that’s a lot of dry days to throw under th...

Coffee flavoured booze, damn fine too. Almost worth falling off the wagon for, but not quite.

G&T, Roku/Fever Tree, and a drop of Mr Black as a settler. Mmmm

Risotto and ice cream. But not in the same plate thankfully.

Spent 4 hrs transposing all my Late Mothers Estate finances onto a spreadsheet. So glad I have weekends off to relax...

Even though I am only here thanks to the use of antibiotics in my childhood, I firmly believe we have used them for too many complaints historically and are now paying the price. For me personally they are now the last thing on the list if I’m seriously ill. Fwiw Sepsis nearly killed our UK boss, he...

Sorry to hear this Kiwi, same as you I thought you were well on the way to being fixed, seems life just screws you over sometimes, by showing you the chequered flag and then snatching it away again. I’m sure it’s just a temporary setback, go back to what works and go with a more sedate lifestyle unt...

Been down this road with our old Cocker, she was grumpy and snappy, but she’d seen me through the birth of my oldest lad and a divorce, so I paid to find out why she was getting worse. Turned out she had a brain tumour and had weeks to live before the tumour overtook her with life changing results. ...

I prefer the light grey soft ones, loads of grip but wear quickly, I’ve always wired mine on.

Fingers crossed it turns out to be a false alarm for your MiL Duke.
