The other thread is filling up fast so setting up the foundation for our new evil lair. One where we follow real guidelines, not made up ones, make sock cocks ,ruin hair and bemoan the shortage of Spanish soldiers.

This is where we'll keep each other sane or descend into madness together... depends on the day.

Sending best wishes for your dad @FrangipaniBlue Flowers

DH and I sat out on the balcony for coffee. We chatted nonsense and laughed several times. DH also said he has added several very non-essential to my eBay watch list for me to order. I believe at least six people in the immediate vicinity have now died due to an excess of tutting.

I have stripped the remaining meat from the chicken we had last night and thrown the carcasse away and I don't care. I am now going back to the balcony to eat the other half of my Easter egg.

I have just googled Spatch Cock.
Really disappointed. Not at all what I thought it was.

Can't tell if this is a sin or saving lives?

Only bit of lamb I could get for today is 1/2 a leg for me DH and DS. Clearly excessive. However I went round to said GP this morning to drop of Easter egg and when I told her about this she let me borrow me an ancient meat grinder to make shepherds pie for DS with remaining lamb. It was a cold drop. She put said grinder on the floor in the place of Easter egg and I retrieved it once she was 2 meters back. Could genuinely feed DS for a week.

Resourceful but borrowed grinder? What's the verdict?

FrangipaniBlue · 12/04/2020 13:42

Thank you reprobates first the love Smile

Yes, I quite like the idea of hammocks, space saving AND more fun Grin

Wowthisisreal · 12/04/2020 13:46

And agreed @FrangipaniBlue hope your dad is ok. And you cleaning his house in care of a vulnerable person imho. Thanks

Catsrus · 12/04/2020 14:10

can someone pass the smelling salts - a curtain twitcher on my local FB group had COUNTED how many cars had passed his window along the beach road and posted a 'get home you murderers' type post. He got roasted by a stream of people telling him to use his common sense (any offering to wave as they walked past) and bemoaning the moaners on FB.

I was gobsmacked! is this an aberration or is common sense making a come back?

Blobby10 · 12/04/2020 14:14

Have just been out on bikes with adult offspring and counted no less than five couples or family groups Who had T.J. e audacity to pause in their walk to watch the newborn lambs in a field!! AND I haven’t reported them!! 😱😱how many people have I killed by not reporting this touching of a gate and/or hedge??

Maxandezra · 12/04/2020 14:33

frangi sorry to hear about your dad. Hope he appreciates the hammocks!

I'm having a wobble day it seems. Have managed to fall out with everyone in my house (7 people!) now sobbing into my prosecco.
Video called sister and parents with varying degrees of success. DS 2 (12) being especially challenging today and have now totally upset myself by reading local FB frothing about family who dared to sit on a bench to have drink mid bike ride. I'm so over this now.

Pringletastic · 12/04/2020 14:35

New born lambs?? Super spreaders in the making, what with their frolicking and general happy-go-lucky attitude. They should be bleached and sent back inside immediately. Murderous woolly reprobates.

Bananabixfloof · 12/04/2020 14:59

Slides in holding head 'again' managed to stay up quite late watching red2 last night. Have now drunk all the wine and nowhere open to replenish so guess it's a sober night tonight.
Been wandering around faceache, not so much frothing (maybe cos I put a load of people on a 30 day time out) more funny stuff and good memes.
DP taken dogs out to woods, most definitely mass murdering people as he breathes all over the place. Am eating coffee cake as theres so bloody much to get through.
Am definitely a murderer of some sort cos tonight we're having toad int hole with roasties and onion gravy.
I need the carbs for my poor hungover self and it's easy. Also lamb is fucking expensive.

soupforbrains · 12/04/2020 15:24

@Pringletastic yes, spatchcock does rather summon up a more exciting image than what it actually is... but at least it was delicious anyway.

Just had a 24 way video call with my 1st cousins (on my mother’s side). It was, as you can imagine, a total nightmare of talking over each other, dropped connections, lagging audio etc. Etc. But aside from all that it was actually quite a lot of fun in a ‘jolly hockey sticks’ sort of way. It does mean I am now significantly more sheets to the wind than I might otherwise have been so now I’m going to go and murder some people by going and sitting in my front garden where other people can see me. To make it worse I shall enjoy myself while I am there.

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 12/04/2020 15:30

Oh no @Maxandezra , what happened? You ok?

Well I'm sure I've reached peak mass murderer today. Not only did we take DD for a bike ride, but when she was done we frolicked through the woods admiring some lovely bluebells clearing and paper decorated eggs that someone kindly hung up.

Oh and I sat on a bench which according to MN is a gateway drug to midnight 300 people partying.

Maxandezra hope you are feeling better now. Its not easy suddenly being copped up all together much more than usual. Its not surprising that people push your buttons.

Filler all done in bathroom. Ds2 helped and its all tidy. Just ceiling to do tomorrow.

I have to confess i saw neighbours OUTSIDE TALKING and even though they were well apart I am sure ITS. NOT ALLOWED!!!! But i failed to report them to anyone. I am a bad person i need punished.

Am knackered as up at 5 for work so its wine o clock here. No roast either as didnt twig that shops were shut today do am stealing Bananas idea of toad in the hole.
I hope you are sll taking turns with the whip due to your disgraceful regard for humanity. Tsk tsk. We are doomed, doomed i tell you.

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 12/04/2020 16:44
