Hmmm. tatty couldn't find a Corned Beef Hash recipe that it wanted to follow so stuck to the basics (basing it on the style of the filthy packet stuff OH used to like to eat pre-Tatty rather than frying pan stylee ( Read more... )

My friend has just told me her brother committed suicide in November (she is in NZ these days). This is the 2nd one to do this and leaves her and her parents just one surviving. She held off from telling me because she knows my history of depression and didn't want to upset me :-(( God only knows how she and her parents are going to get through ( Read more... )

So that's 5 weeks of icky guts for Tatty. I think it may be time to admit defeat and go to the horrid Drs.
Apart from anything else, I don't think OH can take the choking smells from the bathroom any longer.

http://www.squawkproducts.co.uk/tattyfriends/2007DecPorth/2007DecPorth.html for dodgy photos. Still not up to scratch but have been a long time out of practice.

Tatty and OH have been over to the north coast, Porth way, to be buffeted by the wind and watch the large waves (not much in the way of waves on our beach). No wave pictures came put but there are a couple that Tatty may put up later, after fiddling with ofcourse.

Anyway, windswept is good.
time now for coffee, to warm up and dry out.....

dinner for OH is previously made fishcakes with a honey/chilli/spring onion/oil/vinegar dip type thing.

tatty made a big vat of pease pudding, which is very healthy and Tatts loves. Instead of there being loads over to freeze, Tatts is finding itself dipping in as it wanders past.....there may not be any for left dinner! oink, oink.

Nothing brilliant but at least Tatty left the house with its camera.

We're having problems with our boiler still, it wants to preheat hot water all day and not supply us with heating. No wind today so cannot light the stove, OH has retreated back under the duvet ( Read more... )
