I have the unenviable task of making a cake for a rather special anniversary. The main problem is that I should have started on this weeks ago - NOT a week before the event. I need a crash course in...
The blackbirds in the garden have left the nest this morning. Mum and Dad are still on a constant feeding and guarding frenzy. I've confined the cats to barracks. How long will it be before these...
I have had a cold since Tuesday. The cold itself is not now too much of a problem. But I have a dry hacking cough (non productive) which is persistent - despite my drinking copious amounts of orange...
Mr BM is just buying some stuff on ebay - its very heavy so he has phoned the seller. The seller wanted him to pay over the phone. Now its my card and I refused and says it has to go through Ebay. Mr...
Now, I appreciate that cats can be a nuisance. I am also more than happy if someone wants to give the ones that choose to live here a squirt with the hosepipe if they are a nuisance. I have also...
1. I had a lovely weekend with my friends and two little god daughters. 2. I came home to a lovely welcome from Mr BM and ASBO. 3. My great aunt sent me a very generous gift by way of a cheque for...
I thought Blackbirds were territorial (indeed, I've just seen one of our resident males seeing off a robin). Every year we have a pair nest in the clematis above the patio doors. I don't know if they...
I read this on a local forum earlier, it made me pmsl. I have no idea whether it is true or not and I don't really care, it just made me laugh at the level of retribution. Wouldn't you just WANT to do...
Mr BM just received an email from his bank saying someone in Fulham had tried to access his account. Despite my telling him NOT to click on any attachments, he did. He said "the attachment won't...
Well two things have pleased me today (apart from the fact it is Friday). Mr BM has finished my two way gate (when it opens one area, it shuts off another area), and stained it. It looks really good....
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2306248/My-parents-coming-today-wear-pants-day--The-hilarious-notes-left-annoying-roommates.html some of these are quite funny. What "note" would you like to...
For about 6-8 weeks now, I've had really itchy skin. I initially put it down to the cold weather (I do suffer from dry skin in the cold). This is only my upper arms, chest and upper back. The last two...
WOW, just WOW but at the same time "EEEEECK"! http://news.sky.com/story/1073751/tarantula-the-size-of-a-human-face-discovered I love this comment "It has been named Poecilotheria rajaei, in...
I am in two minds as to whom to award the March accolade to - its a difficult choice between Mr BM and son of Mr BM or me for putting up with it. 1) Mr BM made up some cables to link his stereo to him...
I'm doing a twice cooked pork belly on Friday night. Bit concerned it might be a bit dry. Any ideas as to a sauce? To give you some ideas, the pork has been rubbed with star anise, crushed coriander...
Small dinner party on Friday night (surprise birthday party for mate's wife). I was thinking of knocking up some petit fours for nibbles over coffee. I could do some mini meringues (different...
