Food Post

It's ten minutes to four and I am getting my first cuppa of the day, I have been busy today and this is my first chance to stop, so I am taking full advantage, to tide you over until tomorrow on a scrumptious Saturday post, enjoy this picture of tomatoes:

Have a good weekend!

Delhi Belly

I've a nasty sore tum this morning and I've not even been anywhere exotic and sun-drenched that I could attribute my bleurgh too. I've not eaten anything strange or unusual, not had anything that could irritate my stomach, it's just a mystery! Thank goodness it's not as bad as this though:

I thought I would pull up another popular meme traversing the interwebs, I had to chuckle when an Airwick air freshener advert popped up as I was snipping it, appropriate?!

Royal Bank of Scotland

It's been 9 days from I had a working bank account (I bank with Ulsterbank part of RBS Group), bills and subs aren't being paid, I've no access to money unless I actually go into local branch and explain to the staff what money I am expecting in, having them noseying through my finances and producing my horrific photo id driving licence and begging. For everyone saying "it could be worse, there was that guy who had to remain in jail because they couldn't process his bail"...bully for him he's being fed and watered, I'm listening to my electric sing and buying dated food at reduced prices as I'm not sure how much I have to spend. At the start of the year RBS CEO made headlines for receiving a bonus £963,000, he's due a similar amount now? GTFO you shower of bastards and clear up this steaming pile of cow manure that you have left thousands of people wallowing in. Just for interest, one of the bills I had to ring and ask for an extension on because of your fail, the guy I was speaking to banked with Natwest (also part of RBS group) and had no problem giving me an extension, for any others I will be sending you bills of my charges incurred.

Plants, Teenagers and the Circus

Today I enrolled in a NVQ Horticultural course as part of my agreement to take the allotment, like I didn't have enough to do! Oh well, when I go crackers at least I can talk to the flowers. My eldest son (nearly 18) babysat his two wee sisters while I went to the course, he's a sweet kid who works hard as in the kitchen in a restaurant of a hotel and is saving up for a new computer, he also keeps dropping hints about a car for his upcoming birthday. Oh well I may use bribery for a few more babysitting assignments before the big day. The little ones are easier to blackmail; I am taking Miss Five to the circus tonight and she has been an angel from the weekend when I told her.

Draw Something

From it was released at the start of the year, the app Draw Something took off like a stripper at bachelor's party. It piqued my interest as sketching and art is an important staple to me, it has spawned websites around the net of funny, lousy, amazing and dire artworks.

Sometimes it's just doodling. other times it can be a cathartic way to vent frustration and more often than not, it can be the cause of the frustration.

And then again it can be a communication tool between couples...

To the smart phones!

Two Days Running

My apologies for another day without a substantial post but as my daughter is going to a fairy fancy dress party this evening and I still haven't finished her wings. it can't be helped!

Keyboard

My crappy keyboard died a death part way through typing a post this morning. I'm just back from a bizarrely overly busy supermarket and it's too late for me now to write much so more tomorrow :)
