Go to your camera roll & search for “boat”. Post the one you like.

A view from the prow of a cream painted Dutch barge, looking towards the brown wooden cabin. A pale green canoe is tied to the top right of the barge top (deck?), a red and white directional sign can be seen to the right and two low lying islands bracket the background view to left and right. It’s a crisp, pale blue, sunny March day.

Luckily we were at the Asian Supermarket today, so my random snack supplies were restocked.

There’s shownband in my family history too. My Dad and Uncle were in The Northernaires for a while, Dad on drums. This is them posing on the steps of the Floral Hall, a venue they never actually played :)

At the tip of the triangle and on the highest step is a man in a light jacket and dark trousers. The tall, glass panes doors of the hall can be seen in the background.

How about the outfit she wore for my christening? Check out that hat. You’ve got to feel sorry for her ending up with a scruffy tomboy for a daughter :)

B&W photo of a man in a suit awkwardly holding a baby, standing beside a smiling woman wearing the most statement of statement hats. How to describe the hat? It’s got a rounded top, much taller than a bowler hat would be, and the wide brim swoops up dramatically at one side and down at the other.

ShezzaMum was a proper fashionista back in the day. Here she is modelling the latest maxi dress that the boutique she worked in was selling. When I pointed out her dress wouldn’t be considered a maxi these days, she said it was definitely maxi when compared with the micro minis that came before

Photo of an advert clipped from a 1960’s newspaper. The headline reads “The MAXI DRESS Has Arrived” and it is illustrated with a photo of a man and a woman standing on a street, looking at each other and smiling. The woman is wearing a dress that finishes below the knee, with high calf block heeled boots.

The article reads “X is wearing the Bonnie Maxi Dress with leg of mutton sleeves. Her companion David models a double-breasted flared jacket with plain printed flared bottomed trousers”.

It goes on to say “we always stock top gear”, it and gives the name and address of the shop.

#ShezzaMum does not like wood pigeons (or any pigeons for that matter). The RSPB calendar bird of the month for August is a wood pigeon. Mum has taken steps to make the calendar acceptable for her.

Sorry the week’s be me rough on you, Brónagh. I hope the next treats you better. Here’s an old kiiten pic of Sam to send you a little moment of calm.

We didn’t stray from the visitor centre path and the wall kept us back from the cliff edge. I think the videoscreen in the floor of the visitor centre recreating what the edge looked like was what pushed my friend into his rant. I can see his point, but you have to account for people being idiots

A smiling, speccy woman with chin-length gingery hair stands with her back against an armpit high wall (armpit high on a 5’2” short arse). She’s wearing a black fleece, a purple teeshirt and jeans.

But none of that really matters because The Cliffs of Moher are behind her. Stunning sea cliffs on the western coast of The Burren, County Clare in Ireland.

The flat surface of the land to the left looks as though someone has taken a giant knife to it and cut straight down through the black rock to form an almost vertical cliff face.

Four promontories recede into the misty distance above a silvery sea.

These panko prawns were delicious, and the spicing didn’t taste like it came from a Northern Irish menu. (Third time trying to post, no idea what’s going on)

Is that a good thing or bad thing? We stuck to one of our locals and had some really nice food and booze.

While trying to give the local blackbirds space to eat, without hassle from the magpies, I might be making friends with the local hooded crows. They’re still awful easy startled. This is what they did when I lifted my phone to take a pic. Before that I’d been sitting just watching the activity.

Two grey-backed. Rows (AKA hooded crows) are taking off in startled flight. The crow on the left is in the sunshine and looks mostly grey. The crow on the right is in the shade and looks mostly black.

Neither crow is captured in a dignified position. Their feet are off the ground, their wings are half folded and their heads are jutting sideways.

Behind them is a sunny lawn, fence and wall.

I had to go to the Asian supermarket today to get Mum the garlic and root ginger she likes. So of course I wandered down the crispy snack aisle too.

Three packets of snacks sit on a wooden countertop.

Mix well, bake in a 1lb loaf tin at 180C for ~50 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. I’ve reduced the sugar to ⅓ cup and used everything from caster to Demerara. Christmas cake spices, fruit tea, walnuts, vanilla extract and ripe bananas are good in it too. 2/2

A dark golden brown fruit loaf in a white paper liner sits on a wood effect countertop. The surface of the loaf is craggy and studded with dark bits of fruit. You’ll have to trust me that it smells wonderfully of mixed spice and vanilla.

Two slices cut from the loaf sitting on a white plate. The interior of the loaf is a light brown colour, with the multicoloured fruit and nut pieces dotted through it.

After this image was taken I applied an indecent amount of butter to the slices.

Yup. When #SamCat was still #SamKitten the 2021 heatwave wasn’t enough to stop his zoomies. After a long gallop around the house, he slumped on the windowsill panting enough to worry me. So I blanketed him with wet kitchen roll and kept damping it, so he’d lick the water off his fur.

Sound on for this one! On Sunday night we recorded what looks like a hedgehog stand of, where the hog who was at the bowl eating, started making a series of grunting noises at the other hog who dared to wander by.

I don’t know if you remember my Twitter posts about how we were worried about his seeming inability to drink water. It turned out he just couldn’t drink from a cat-sized bowl, and now we have a bird bath in the kitchen.

A sandy mackerel tabby cat is having a drink of water. He is sitting with both his front paws in the very large dish. The green and terracotta dish is sitting on one of those dish drying absorbent mats.

I made a tea loaf today, following the gist of a recipe that’s been around in my family for longer than I have: Turn oven on to 180C Put 1 cup of mixed fruit in a bowl Pour over 1 cup of hot, black tea. Let the fruit soften Mix in half a cup of caster sugar >

When did your obsession with hot toxic women begin?

A scene from Blakes7. Two people are being held at gunpoint by Servalan. She is a slender white woman with a short black pixie cut hairdo. Her makeup is bold, in that late 70s/early 80s way with smokey eyeshadow and red lips and nails. She is wearing a magnificent black sleeveless outfit: very low v-neck, lots of black sequins and some sort of black feathery plumes at her shoulders. She has one hand on her hip and the other is confidently holding the gun. There is no doubt who’s in control in this scene.

A filled soda. Take the components of an Ulster fry - bacon, sausage, black pudding, white pudding, fried egg, maybe fried mushrooms if you feel healthy - and pile them in a split toasted or fried soda farl. Add tomato ketchup or brown sauce according to taste. Perfect, portable hangover food.

And it was so hot, I wore it anyway :)

A man and his daughter stand in front of a low, pale, sandstone wall with Valetta Harbour in the background. The sky is bright blue and filled with fluffy white clouds.

He is wearing a lightweight fabric bucket hat, shirt and cropped trousers. She is wearing a broad brimmed straw hat, orange top and flowy trousers.

The daughter and Dad are standing on the bridge over the moat at the entrance to Mdina, Malta.

She is wearing the same broad brimmed straw hat which is looking very wonky at this end of the trip. He is wearing a light t-shirt, cropped trousers and is carrying the straw hat he replaced the bucket hat with after his first afternoon in the heat of Valletta.

Oh I dunno. It’s usual for us to eat them well slathered with butter, on both halves of the bap. I’m guessing our usual amount would be an entire family’s weekly ration :)
