I have risen!

Me and Bruce slept very well. Cleaned, showered and Bruce walked, just making a morning ☕

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Serious question as I have no idea.
Do you buy/use the actual tail of an Ox.
If so, why ie what is so unique in flavour.

Never tried it myself as the name puts me off.



It is the tail and it has an intense flavour IMHO. I haven't been able to get my hands on oxtail for a long time especially Wales and when I have its just a few pieces that cost a stupid amount. I think the intense. Flavour comes from the bones

We are at the end of the cul-de-sac - religious busy bodies don;t seem to make it this far

or possibly they just right Widnes off as a lost cause of den of iniquity beyond saving???

last time I had one come round they wanted to leave a pamphlet or something and I refused as it was a sin to waste the Earth's resources by taking it just to throw it out

which seemed to confuse them

Still - I was polite to them - no reason to be grumpy - just not interested in what they say.


anyway - landscape bloke coming round later with his "shed guy"
we (i.e. SWMBO) has gone from a squere (ish) brick shed to a triangular wooden shed
and is now on about a pentagon - not regular but basically the same triangle but with the sharp corners flattened out


which sounds expensive - but this bloke seems a lot better than the guy whose work we need him to fix

lte's hope so - I don;t want to have to do this agin in this lifetime!!!

Good grey, damp and drizzly morning. Today is #1 small person's fourth birthday. Where did that go? Looking forward to her party at 12.30.** £25 on the PBs this month. We cashed most of them in last month after 8 months with nothing. Strange.

** Now. My son knows his father and brother are diehard Rovers. Never miss a game. Today Rovers (6th) v Sheffield Utd (4th). 3 points between them. Biggest game of the season so far. What time is kick off? 12.30!!!!!

I have had words with my son. Granddad and uncle will be at the party. I wouldn't miss it for anything.........even Rovers.
