Moan, moan, moan----get it off your chest or have a chat

[Maggi Young]

Maggi does this mean, what I think it might mean?

Tsk tsk means  Bother! What a nuisance!

You are right, Luit, I have the BEST husband...I do hope he will return to me eventually!

[Lvandelft]

Thanks Maggi

[Lesley Cox]

Apart from that you have my sympathies.

What use are those David? In circumstances like these, she needs chocolate.

Sorry Maggi, when Ian meets me, he can re-assure you that you have no need to worry. In the girth-measuring stakes, I'd win, hands down.

Paddy, David and anyone else, keep your mouths shut.

[Maggi Young]

When you meet Ian you'll be amazed, Lesley, if the lad were any thinner he wouldn't be there!
Get Ann to point him out to you, she may have a patterned carpet and you might not spot him!!

[Paddy Tobin]

What did I say now? And I wasn't even thinking of saying anything. In fact, I am sitting quietly eating supper watching Ireland V Wales from 1984.

Ian = a pull-through for a shotgun?

He'd clean the barrel very well, if he had on a thick enough woolly jumper, Paddy.

You're very slow to catch up on your videos, Paddy... hope you win!
Night night!

Well, depends on the pattern perhaps. Hopefully not stripes. But is he spotty?. Will I spot him among spots?

[Paddy Tobin]

Maggi,

Wale V Ireland - went to bed, too late!

Paddy

[Maggi Young]

Lesley, I am happy to assure you that the BD is not spotty - he is small but perfectly formed 
Depending on what kind of garish odd socks he is wearing, you might have trouble finding him on almost any pattern!
Just as well that Ian and Jean and Jim Wyllie were flying out of Heathrow yesterday, frightful holdups today because of the crashed jet from Beijing. Eveyone off it safely, though, nothing major in the way of injuries.

I am delighted to be able to report that I am able to communicate with you once more via a newly repaired pc, which I am much happier to be able to do because the antivirus protection on the laptop has expired and is out of  date.
A million thanks are due to (my sister-in-law's next door neighbour ) DAN, a prince among men and worth his weight in gold, for coming to my resue. Sadly, I'm a little short of his weight in gold but I made a tangible expression of my gratitude with a bottle of Scottish amber Nectar.
  He knows LOTS about computers as well as being a Head-Hunter... and there aren't many of those in Aberdeen 

[Martin Baxendale]

Yessss!!! I've finally finished the illustrations for my new book and at last I can sleep after a week of getting to bed at 2 or 3 a.m. every night! Bliss!

[Martin Baxendale]

Just realised it's nearly 2 a.m. again. Oh well, maybe I can sleep in if the kids don't want pancakes in the morning!

[Maggi Young]

pancakes in the morning

I'll be right round!

[Martin Baxendale]

pancakes in the morning

I'll be right round!

Yup! Most Sunday mornings - my secret is to put some yoghurt in the batter along with the flour, milk and eggs; it makes the pancakes lighter and less tough. Sometimes I'll use thick creamy Greek yoghurt, which is even better. Then smothered with Green and Black's organic chocolate and hazlenut spread, rolled up in the Slovak fashion and served with sliced bananas and more yoghurt (ideally whipped cream, but I want to live to see the kids grow up!)

But I didn't wake up in time today so Ivi made them toast and they hate me.

[ChrisB]

I make mine the Canadian way, with crispy smoked bacon, blueberries in the pancakes and topped with melted butter and maple syrup - yummy!
