Out for a fish lunch by the sea and live music later
It's bacon o'clock...
Sun is out. Should be cycling instead. Humph.
*By train!
That slope is much more conducive to wheelbarrowing/skateboarding/wheelies 'Loon.
Secondly, even if you have to have beans, to let them touch the eggs is a crime, you should use a sausage as a breakwater.
Thirdly though -
Conundrum time. A friend of mine has invited me back to ride bikes at his house in Piedmont for a long weekend at the end of October. OH/twins are technically due 20th of December but it we (and the doctors) are planning on late November. I have a range of options:
A) Don't go
B ) Don't tell OH and book closer to the time if she's still mobile etc
C) Tell OH and decide together that I shouldn't go
D) Book now and be prepared to cancel if she can't move or is about to pop
E) Book now and go regardless
B and D are quite similar in ethos. I'm leaning towards B
Tell O/H, book now to get best flight price, be prepared to cancel depending on how enormous/about to pop she is. You'll spend all your time while you're there worrying anyway, plus she'll hold it over your head FOR EVER if anything does go amiss.
Does she have anyone nearby who can come and cluck over her while you're away?
Hierarchy of eggs for me is:
1. Poached
2. Fried
3. Soft boiled
4. Egg mayonnaise
5. Baked
6. Scrambled (though if I do fancy scrambled eggs, nothing else will do)
Liking the eggs order, although I’d have scrambled higher. Soldiers with the soft boiled?
Having one of these while you’re there?
Also no ta to beans. The out of the tin type that is.
Almost temporary-fixed the missing rainwater guttering section issue, just need to find 1m of std downpipe. And no I don't have any bits long enough. Or if I do I can't find. To the building suppliers I go.
That would be romantico and then in future, they could have duel citizenship more easily and be in the EU.
Fried brekkie - fugging 'orrible.
Poached eggs for me with a sprinkle of black pepper, salt and smoked paprika.
The Concorde café on Bristol street used to do fried brekkies and they were nice and dry, not greasy. Lovely hash browns.
Work until 2, then fanny about for a bit at home with some packing and stuff. MrsHD is out later so I think I might do a bit of WFH as I'm a little busy.
Should I be on here? Probably not...
My brother made an egg curry once. That was good, but not to be repeated.
Scotch eggs are good - posh ones though - not the ones you get from the garage. Dab of English mustard.
Visit to dentist this afternoon to get repairs done on work he did a couple weeks ago. 🙄
Too late when we got home to bother doing much.
scrambled - no adding dairy, so called cooks who claim otherwise can go suck a cow
omelet - see scrambled for rules, with diced chilli
poached - must have no uncongealed white
fried - see poached for rules, ideally in a club sandwich, or on top of steak haché
raw - yolk on the steak tartare
hard boiled - in sandwich or mayo'd
No milk or cream certainly.
Perfectly reasonably I wouldn't want to miss said twins arriving if they came early, and she will struggle with the dogs when I'm away
Can you not just let the dogs out to chase the rabbits in the garden for a couple of days? Or do you have super boisterous dogs that need 2 hours of vigorous exercise?
tbh if they only use a smidge it's ok, but some end up swimming in the stuff
