Good luck to the Hamster

I look forward to his efforts over the next few days.
After all it won’t matter if he crashes the pips as the Togs are all used to that. In fact it is cause for celebration when Terry actually doesn’t!
Merry Christmas everyone from both Major Dickie and me!

Chocolate and Shaving

So “THEY” have decided today that eating Dark Chocolate is not as beneficial as we had been led to believe.
So I have chucked out all the chocolates I had bought for various relatives – obviously I can’t give them something that might not be any good  – and I am off to face the crowds [...]

Hic! Heston Bloomin – what’s his name’s trifle

We started well with the 2 bottles of sherry. Major Dickie found the drill and threw away the coffee so he could create the ‘cement mixer‘.
I remember we put on the Janet and John CD – as directed by the food historian chappy.
I think things started going down-hill due to the numerous tasting sessions, as [...]

Cranford – Last episode

Broadcast 
What excitement and intrigue and the Death Toll wasn’t too high either.
There was a moment when it did look as if we were in for another massacre but no, Just the one main death with a couple of unknown railway workers as back-up.
I think it was fortunate that Miss Mattie was being kept busy selling [...]

Fanny Hill and Maidenhead

Is the BBC on commission to promote Maidenhead??
No sooner does The Tudors finish than up pops Fanny Hill and she too starts discussing the virtues of the town!
Mark you I thought her wish to protect it was no where near as determined as Ann Boleyn’s…
But perhaps that’s just a sign of the times!

The siege of Mafeking

Broadcast 
Major Dickie returned last night, from one his rare assaults on the supermarket – in high dudgeon. The shelves had been stripped almost bare.
Why is it that with the impending festivities, the great British Public are already laying in enough food to last the length of the Siege of Mafeking.
The shops [...]

To see her all smothered in cream!
