The Robbing Butcher - Bemused by the Patio at FrogMhor Cottage

[TheMustressMhor]

What next for the Robbing Butcher?

Will he wander past Mhor Cottage several times a day so that he can keep an eye on the progress of the patio?

Will Mr. Mhor's measurements turn out to be wrong? And will Mustress Mhor and her DH have too many SLABS as a result?

If they do, what will they do with them?

Will the eggs be dippy tomorrow?

Sign up below if you are interested in the answers to these pivotal questions.

Oh yes a tasks to do list. Fab idea. Allows me to procrastinate further (along with MN) to delay housework

Trimming hedge and a beehive knob ....

Cutting are you being norty?

Cutting I have to say that I was thrilled to see you mentioning broccoli and cauliflower cheese. My favourite.

Mr. Mhor is dead against cheese sauce with broccoli.

Moi .... [shocked]

Mhor I would still make for myself. However I don’t think I would have continued a relationship if MrCutting didn’t condone this delicacy

Hmmm continue MN, hoover or wash the floor or a tasks list 🤔

TODAY'S SIX TASKS - MHOR COTTAGE STYLE

Make list of essential jobs for Mr. Mhor to do

That’s a fabulous list, Mustress!

Mr Worfs just cleaned the kitchen without me having to ask (!!!)

Cutting just continue MN. I’ve mentioned before but I have a dedicated weekly slot for hoovering, I can’t just start doing it on the spur of the moment!

Joking aside, my current calendar is the best yet - Emma Bridgwater from John Lewis - I highly recommend.

If you were a family of 6, each of you would have their own daily slot for tasks. As it happens at home, all six are mine.

Good idea! , sleeping bag ... loft!
Mr Jeff just said , are you going to clean out the budgies before they die?
Clearly only I am capable!

Is it too early for wine?

Oh Jeff I commiserate. Our competence is such a burden sometimes!

Is it too early for wine?

Absolutely not, jeff.

It is NEVER too early for wine. Wine helps you thrive (is that ok to say?)

Mr Yolo got up too late to make chicken casserole so we are just doing a roast instead - which seems to take equally long?

We have music on loud in the kitchen, unfortunately he's put it on some random playlist. We've just gone from FooFighters to Genesis which is a bit of a switch really. Previously straight from Adele to David Gray to Beautiful South which was somehow easier to cope with.

Prompted a discussion about "which music era did you miss out on?" For us it seems to have been acid house and hip hop and grunge.

Oh I love random conversations in the kitchen with Alexa playing different playlists. Oh not conversations with Alexa that would be weird lol

Have procrastinated and not hoovered or washed floor. Wine is good idea. Thank you all.

Mhor is your task list copyrighted? Or can I adopt it please. It’s perfect

I was a grunge teen, but have always been partial to classic rock and some heavy metal (yes to Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, HARD PASS to Metallica).

I was too old for the emo stuff and nu metal, thank God.

I was madness and new age.

I now have an electic.... that’s spelt wrong but I have mind blank... wide ranging.... I still struggle with opera though.

DP has gone to help my parents with difficult job.... I chose to stay here and do the housework yadda yadda but have only MN and now drinking wine

I like to think we are pretty eclectic even if old (late 50s) but I cannot cope with yer original rap - a little bit mixed in a la Ed Sheeran is enough for me. Strickland Banks, I liked that first album a lot but probs wasnt even rap?

We are still on Genesis, which reminds me why I wasnt a fan first time round...

cutting Carmen is the only opera I can cope with, and Carmen Jones is even better! (DD1 managed to get concussion at a performance of CJ - don't ask...)

ooh we're onto Hozier now, that's better.

I like a bit of everything, in reason , I loved elo ( electric light orchestra) growing up and also Sam Cooke and the drifters . As a teen I liked pop , now I listen to all that and new stuff too!
Cooking and music with wine is great!

Yolo .... yes that’s how it’s spelt... I feel very thick now. Off to hoover. Have tidied.

I am now intrigued about the events at that concert... you must (pretty please) share. Will check back after hoovering.... only doing upstairs

cutting with hindsight, it was bad planning and a really long day.

Kids were doing opera at school (some sort of outreach with the ROH to state primaries). So we went to Lunnon for the day, had lunch, did the Imperial War Museum and then to Royal Festival Hall for Carmen Jones. It wasnt full, so at the interval we moved round to the seats on the side, where upon DD1 leant forward for a better look and headbutted the barrier - nosebleed, blood everywhere, she went a bit woozy. Probs wasnt actually concussion to be fair. But dramatic. Had to take two blood soaked children home on the train, as DD1 managed to spread blood everywhere...

Consider knobs is something I would be interested in doing

Moi aussi!

I’ve mentioned before but I have a dedicated weekly slot for hoovering, I can’t just start doing it on the spur of the moment!

Very wise Worfs - it would disrupt your biorhythms.

The spaghetti were good. Next weekend Mr Worfs will try his hand at lasagne.
