Thought you had him on cannabis oil / CBD oil?

Nah no me lol

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

Nah no me lol

Oh no, does that mean I'm going senile?

 

[Just smiffy]

The exPAWers on YouTube little dog does exactly the same.. I think they have him on a small dose of cbd oil too….

You may well have delayed my senility diagnosis, i do watch them, although not so much lately

the Mcmillan nurses do more than just nursing they can get things that she might need for daily use so see if you can speak to them.
they looked after my wife when she was dying even taking her into the hospice for day visits to keep her occupied and also keep an eye on her

My mamma making stovies, she's been going on about making these all week, she probably won't eat any lol but she wanted to make them , I helped a bit , she's knackered now so having a sleep

We'll be eating them for a week lol

Tam I love Stovies - when we lived in Doha a lovely Scots couple used to a night where she’d do stovies for dinner. Us southerners loved them. Always went back for more. I must find out how to make them. Does your mum have a recipe- or like many do it by eye? Hope she enjoys her sleep and you all enjoy the food, the effort she has made to do them for you is showing y you she loves you all.

for your mum.

Easiest recipe in the world , tatties , lorne sausages although you can use links sausages too if you prefer , onions , salt n pepper and if you have fat left over from frying bacon or something add that otherwise a big knob of butter works too. Then just slow boil them.

There's so many variations though , I've made them with all different types of sausages , sweet potato , garlic , chopped carrots etc. Peas

But the basic old recipe is like above


Don't listen to folk that say use corned beef...that's no stovies it's corn beef hash.



Smells wonderful in here

A cheap easy meal that's great on cold nights

 

[corconx]

Corned beef hash I do. So what are lorn sausages? I love beeps and tattles too.

carol

ps. Just googled it. Like a sausage meat. Thanks. Learn something every day

In other news I think for now I'm just going to stick with "moby" he's a good old van and I think when I'm travelling I will appreciate the points I bought him for more , the RMB is tempting but not sure I want to make any big decisions just now and as I'm not sure it's best to just leave it for now. And if later I decide I want to change it again I'll figure something out.

Sounds like a sensible decision Tam.

You need to actually use "Moby" before making any decisions about anything else. Plenty of time in the future.

Aye and with all the work I and others have done on it it would be a shame not to use him for at least one trip.

I've just ordered up some new graphics for him to tidy up the bodywork where I removed the old ones. I will still maybe get him repainted later on but the graphics will smarten him up meanwhile. Also ordered a table leg and will make my own table top for him as I won't use the big original table I removed .

Good old Scottish favourite

[MarlyandMango]

It's that time of year again to escape ....Will be heading west this morning for a few days before our ferry to Belfast on Thursday 15th. Planning to tour northern Ireland and eire till late November before making our way south to Spain.

So that's it I'll update later where we've ended up today. Will be heading off around 11am I imagine.


Just for memory sake

That was this time last year.
I don't think Tam is thinking of going anywhere just at the moment

Well that will save you some money as if you were to do the electrics on the RMB the help line would have been £1 a minute.

If you have time it is still worth a read for you. Very interesting and some really fantastic photos of Ireland.

Lenny you’re selling yourself too cheap! Even on the phone.

I don't know, I could make a few grand out of it.

No way ... how could you ever charge Tam with his lovely Scottish lilt, you should be paying him for the 'soothing' effect of his voice!

 

[Northernraider]

It's been one of those days where everything I touch has gone to shit.....

In the 90 minutes I had to myself today I managed to ruin £30 worth of graphics/stickers

And then trap my hand between the seat swivel and the handbrake.


So I'm just screaming in to the void

How did you manage that then. Have you ordered a new set?

 

[bigtree]

Your name gives away yer background.

Not concentrating , it then took me 20 minutes to remove the thing again rolled it in a ball and launched it.

Not ordered any more yet

 

[Minxy]

Do you know any local 'good' graffiti artists?
