Can't wait to see pics of your new dog, Mica... hint... hint lol. I hope he settles well. I have no doubt the cat will sort things out promptly
Exactly Kiwimade.
About time Pak n Save caught up. First times Ive ever had something to queiry in a place that does that
morning ladies Wow, now that's a doozy of a frost! And to top it off, it's going to be a lovely day.
Awesome, mica. Sounds like he will fit in beautifully. Can't wait to see a pic
Once the frost has lifted the plan is to finish pruning the roses. The ground will be freezing but I might be able to weed as well. And we need to do the recycling. What an exciting life we lead lol.
The Furry One needs to pee lol but the frost is colllldddd, mum! Make it go away lol.
A frosty start ... showing on the house roofs around us! But nice to see sunshine and no wind.
Fantastic Mica, he sounds to be a good fit. I sometimes wonder about an older dog but would need to do our homework ... past taking on a problem dog ... our last one had a perfect nature!
The day looks good to be outside ... at last. Might be able to get concrete pots sealed amongst a good garden catch up.
Vest finished, yet another to knit ... nice and quick when my mind is on the job!
I dont miss having to mow lawns etc.. I loved doing them, didnt like "Having" to do them lol.
I dashed over to Pukekohe yesterday, they have a Sake.. " Go Figure" lol.. but I have been without my second crockpot for ages and they have a half price sale. So I got a small one again which will be in use today. I have a big amount of Venison to cook.
I will keep a small amount out for fry, its schnitzel according to the bag but some of it feels thick. The rest I will put in the crockpot with some beef stock and seasonings and see how it turns out. Im not bothered if it all pulls apart into the gravy, that will be perfect. Might put some tatties in too.
I have to pop up and get some bikkies for Madam later while they are cheap.
I will seal the pictures once the meat is on, I will do as many as time permits and how far 2.5 bottles will go.
Sounds like your new lad will fit in Mica.. I like chilled dogs, says she who had two holey terrors at the same time lol

That's excellent news re Mr K, KM, hope it happens soon.
Managed a bit more ivy triming & then dug up another clump of violets - the ones which somehow planted themselves under the clothes line - & moved them to along the not sunny side of the drive,with the others I have there.
I was feeling quite pleased with myself - until I went to bring in the washing & noticed a small patch I'd missed.
Dammit.

Excellent point
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
The chocky pud lost its sauce. I need to practise more, it is not like the one my Mum used to make. But it was worth the effort, and there are two in the freezer for future emergencies. Plus the big bit in the fridge. Never know when the need might arise.
And it didn't cure the bloody disc, so I shall take real drugs tonight.
I look forward to this winter of my discontent being over.
Oh Mica What a cutey... I think you should keep him too lol.
Kiwimade if you have time could you share the lemon pudding recipe pretty please?
Yes its late and I need to transfer the rest of the Very yummy meaty gravy into a bowl that will go in the fridge, then soak the bowl so I can make a choccie pudding tomorrow
Oddly the venison tastes just like the mince pies that I love from a shop here.
Will probably make my INR go crazy but I dont care. I have extra mashed tatties for a repeat tomorrow, and now I know I really like it, ill have a bigger serving lol..
Would be nice with fresh white bread and butter too lol
Its 11-40 Popeye get your jobs done and go to bed !!!!!!
