Just dropped half a Mcvities Ginger Nut biscuit in my tea :( :(

Not sure which is worse, the loss of the half a biscuit or the fact that there will now be sludge in the bottom of my mug :( :( :(

Tidying up after houndminimus came flying into the house at warp 9, executed a perfect flying leap over the Old Sith Hound before an arse skid landing through the kitchen into the hallway and onto the hallway mat before spinning on his arse on the mat as he had a huge clump of grass hanging out of his bottom!.

I’ve been watching it build all afternoon but it’s finally matured and we have a HUGE thunderstorm to the north of us and I’ve got a grandstand view sitting in our back garden. 😀

Left home at 7:30 this morning for a lovely roof down drive through the wilds of Essex to meet the electrician at my Step Mothers. He arrived precisely at the promised 08:30. 👍 I’m now sitting here surfing the net whilst hoping he doesn’t take long!

I went to a crocodile park in Qheensland. Bloody scary things.
Then we did a river cruise in Kakadu national park with crocs all around.

Sitting here with a mug of tea winding up to cook stuff for later.

I've already made two lasagnes for the freezer (with courgette as the layers as I had courgette and no lasagne pasta!! LOL)

I've got chicken satay out of the freezer along with char sui pork. Got to make crispy chill beef, sweet and sour sauce, chicken balls, egg fried rice (later, but will prep the veg) and maybe a veg chow mein (which is probably headed for the freezer for me!). I also want to try and make coconut and mango 'spring' rolls. They were a dessert we had a couple of weeks ago at a Thai restaurant, but they 'forgot' the mango, so fancy attempting that if I have time!

There'll be three of us and so I don't have to make much of anything, but what is left will go in the freezer :bblonde:
