It won't happen much as the weather improves as I like to get outside after lunch, but in the winter it's just the job!

It was supposed to be anti-aging but I don't seem to look 20 years younger as I had hoped. I saw a John Godber play tonight that he also starred in. I have seen a lot of his plays but not one with him in it before. It was called The Scary Bikers and was about a couple from the North who go on holiday in Europe on a tandem............ I think I have other newts but will need to think back over the last few days - I have been quite busy!

I discovered yesterday that my sister has one on ca monthly basis. I can't say I'd noticed (didn't say that to her, obvs, ;-)) The Scary Bikers sounds fun

I also entered a newt decade on Saturday. It's seems much the same as the last 4 decades to be honest. I have also tried a newt type of curry from the takeaway. It was not intentional but they gave us someone else's order and when I took it back they said to keep it. Curry for 4 when there was just 2 of us

It started out as mushroom and lentil bolognese, but I went a bit off piste and used yellow split peas, then added spinach and pesto. It was good. Luckily, because it made enough for about 15 meals.

LazyDaisy Mar 2018 1:18pm, 20 Mar 2018 21,876 posts	0 LazyDaisy My newt is learning a bit of folklore. We're having the original fireplace in the living room replaced and a wood burner installed (habitués of the Mundane thread may recall). Today the fire surround was taken out and the opening excavated to take the stove. The workmen handed me two large handmade nails called 'cooking hooks' which are traditionally put inside a fireplace when a house is built. He said we're to be sure and keep them safe! The house was built in 1926 and the living room certainly wouldn't have been used for cooking, so it's rather nice that the builder carried on the tradition.
