Playin summin? Watching?
Bit of both. Just finished watching Brooklyn 99. Not sure what's next
I'm watching the last of us from the beginning so I can watch the new season and remember!
Loved the 1st game but oddly not fussed about the tv show. How is it
I really like it even though I'm not really into zombie type things! It's quite touching in places!
I thought it was really well done. Didn't actually play the games but aware of the premise.
Yeah me too! Enjoy the show though!!
Got some photos to scan for a funeral, then I think some live rugby down at Murrayfield the moro, the club season is just about to finish. Sunday ah reckun sum roast lamb, tis easer aifter aww.
Loads o folk hae been round and texting me, it's nice tae ken that and be checked oan
Hey, how are you? xx
Sleepy, its emotionally exhausting at the moment, but not sleeping well either. Holidays and lots of time with the kids take it out of any parent too. My wife is helping loads, I'm a lucky man
I'm glad you have a good support network. Take as much time from work as you need and sleep as much as you can.
Mainly eating treats and trying to get out walking a bit more. Rain is off putting but forecast is hopeful.
Fine time to be oot fer a walk. Lambies are bouncing, blossom is springing forth, wild garlic is perfect for foraging. I saw a red squirrel yesterday in Aberdeenshire even
A red one! They are gorgeous. Doubt if there's any near me here sadly. I've heard that pine martens are actually good for red squirrel populations because red squirrels are much harder for them to catch than their invasive cousins.
How do you forage wild garlic?? What bit do you eat? How do you use it?? I love the smell when I go walking at my dad's bit!
So the stalks you use almost exactly like chives. Great in a tattie salad. The leaves you can turn into pesto, or add to your salad, or add to a pico de gallo, or wild garlic soup is a thing
Like all foraging: go a little deeper, don't pick where the dog goes, and give a wash. And don't confuse it with anything else, it will smell pungently of garlic
So I pick the whole flower?? Thanks!!
Not sure about the actual flower and sort of petals, I usually stick to leaves and stalks
Ok next time i'm visiting at my dads I will go for a walk and get some!! Thanks!
Sum in ma back gairden, hud it wi new tatties, mayo, chives (alsae frae ae gairden) an dusted wi paprika. Lamb steaks the main event wi mint sauce, fit a brsw combo. Ann corn-oan-the-cob frae senegal which wis rather tasteless, forced grown shite
Sounds delicious (minus the corn on the cob).
This forager has some good advice. Is in England so the season starts a bit earlier than ours. But the advice itself is still sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNMxd-5LpPw
Thank you!!
I'm on my second easter egg of the weekend. It's what jesus would want!!!
