In reply to Trangia:

Those sprouts should have been on the boil since yesterday!

In reply to Trangia:

Switch the oven on?

In reply to Yanis Nayu:

Bloody hell! It didn't say that on the turkey instructions......

No, not really. It's on

In reply to Trangia:




Yes.

When are you opening the 2nd bottle!

Fresh food?

In reply to Gone for good:

Frozen is as good as fresh, because it's frozen within a very short time of picking. Also less waste as you can keep the excess in the freezer.

In reply to Trangia:

Merry Christmas from the shelter of a bit of gabbro on the point of Corrachadh Mòr; there are huge waves crashing all around.

I am confident that this will be the most Westerly internet post on the Island of Great Britain, today.

In reply to Trangia:

Also on my own too. Total bliss. Zero responsibilities and no danger of any unsavoury characters calling round and disturbing my peace.

9.15 Washing up.

10.00 Lame attempt at UKC Xmas quiz (still ongoing)

10.30 Made flapjacks
