Soop's Extended Extension.

Oh my goodness, Granny23 I shall print this. You are lovely.

Thankyou soop, I feel much calmer now.
I was vacuuming, knocked one of the boxes full of
rubbish stuff from the study down all around me, DH yelling from the back door, front doorbell ringing.
It turns out he was shouting to me because I had accidentally turned the gas on when I was cleaning the hob and he said I could have blown the house up.
That would have been such a waste of the time he spent decorating.

rosequartz You were stressed. Now you're not. Result!

thankyou soop. I am refeshed and can carry on sorting now.

Wow, you were quick Granny. I am asked fit like whenever I phone my Doric speaking friend. It takes me a minute to tune into to her dialect.

I have never liked white pudding but if you are desperate for a wee treat Charley, I can post some to you. Did have some delicious Stornoway black pudding at the weekend though.

It's been a good day. Thank you, Gransnetters for your company. I've completed the second wee sprint on the exercise bike. Feel a bit wobbly. I appear to have lost much muscle power. I think that I should do a little each day and gradually increase the sessions as I regain strength/stamina.

It's almost time for Tortoiseshell cat to put in an appearance. I'm about to check. The moment I peer through the kitchen window, Rory will arise from his day bed and start to whinge.

Enjoy your evening. Until tomorrow and (hugs)

Thank you Agus what a kind thought. I remember the white pudding and chips I had as a child/teenager and we bought it from the local fish and chip shop where we lived in Fife. I am going back around 55 years years!

I am happy with Waitrose black pudding supplied by the Mc Sweens in Edinburgh.

Galen, I grew up in Wednesbury! Both black and white pudding were a staple food! I prefer black if I'm honest. With raw onion. Mmm.

Potatoes, turnips and onions
Powder for the wash
William is needing new shoes

Sweets, ale some flour,
A tin with a dent in it
I am working like a robot

Rolls, glasses (tumblers) bacon
Ointment for a rash
My house is very untidy

White pudding, jumpers
Cheque, card or cash
My bottom is painful sitting

Everything is in a hurry
People are in such a rush
Customers anonymous

A trolley as tall as Ben Nevis
Goodness me it looks good
I am very tired and fed up

Now my shift is ending
Beans and orange squash
Home to do the housework
Up, out and away

My version. I left out the last line of each verse to save on typing

OK Charley. On the odd occasion we have a fish supper, DH always has a black pudding supper with a jar of mussels. Not something we eat a lot but sometimes, it just hits the spot. Yum, especially if we have this at the Anstruther Fish Bar which you might know being a Fifer

Take it easy with the exercise bike soop, a wee bit at a time will still give you the same end result.

dragonfly so did I. Went to the convent. I worked there as well.

I have obviously been to Anstruther in my youth Agus but we went to the local fish and chip shop in Cupar. I used to have white pudding and chips, nothing else.

Galen, where was the convent? I went to Kings Hill JMI then the girls' high. Mum and dad kept a pub in Kings Hill.

Top of the hill next to the church. We originally lived at hill view kings hill then moved to hollies drive. Next door to the library.

What was the pub called. There were hundreds
The star the queen
They lined the green
The jockey is close by
They knocked the jockey off his OSS and drank the woodman dry!

Also the anchor and many others

Small world Galen. Apart from visiting Ikea nearby, I've not been back there since 1968.

The Forge Tavern at the bottom of Franchise Street.

Yes, soop - a little and often. It's good to hear you're back on the bike again.

I I left in 1978 . You moved the year I qualified. I joined my father in general practice the following year. The old oaks well surgery

We actually moved in 1964 but by then I'd started at the Girls' High, so i stayed there till 68, travelling to Wednesbury by train every day. Where was the surgery?

Corner of the end of wood green and hides road.

Hydes road! iPad!

They sent me to boarding school in Lichfield.!

Would I have walked past it walking down Hydes road from the railway station? It was a bloody long walk, I do remember that!

I always wanted to go to boarding school...
