That's some aggressive carrot peeling. Show me on the doll where it touched you.

Waitrose “giant” Gluten Free ready made yorkshires. Usually found in the fridge section next to the joints but will freeze OK.

Damn that looks good!!

I rarely get what I call a 'proper' roast dinner. The only friends that cook one are yorkshire - so the yorkshire pud is the starter :o :o :o Which is fine, but then there isn't one on the plate with the meat :( :( :(

Really must make more effort and cook one for me! LOL

That's just silly. Can never have too many.
My mum made awesome ones. Had them every week IIRC.

Wife has woman flu and didn't make me a packed lunch. :o Bitch. :angry-cussingblack: So I'm pondering what I should have from Tesco Metro. I could go for a meal deal, but when such an opportunity presents itself, it can justify cornish pasties and scotch eggs and other things that are currently on the banned substance list. :thumbup:

Sitting on Brighton sea front. Seeing as I have a retro bike now I thought I would be all mods and rockers about it. Burt my hand on my exhaust pipe like a complete noob so got a cold can of coke in one hand and a coffee in the other :obscene-drinkingcheers:

curled up on a sofa at my mates house. The bed here knackered my back when I stayed for a couple of weeks, and I have to get up at 4.30am to go get them from the airport, so I decided I'd sleep on the sofa! There's a decent heater in here, so I might be warm and comfortable :D :D

HOOOOGE telly - kinda weird!! LOL

Sat on the ferry to Fuertaventura :)

I tried a while ago but got here after last ferry at 10:45 :(
Last night forecast showed big storms so didn't book.
This morning all showed full but wanted a ride anyway so went to ferry.
Got on no probs.

Roads were still wet but nice forecast so should dry out quickly.

Woo hoo :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Was fine for a nap. The beautiful beaches are too busy.

We camped there a few weeks ago.
