Another pointless thread

Just watched Human Planet, another fantastic episode ... wonderful how some people live in harmony with nature. Like the living bridges of Meghalaya link Wanna go there! Weather sealing will come in handy by the look of it...

Good programme that one, did you turn to BBC2 for the Kate Humble spice programme.

Another one to watch and highly enjoyable, if only for the infectious laughing from all involved.

I forgot about that one, was meaning to watch it. Will have to download it! Excellent documentaries at the moment, the series on british prehistory is really interesting too.

Yes it is, even though it's a Scott presenting it!

At the risk of a corus of I told you so , second mouse now being 'sponsored' at the University.

Definitely not the same one - no choclolate mark on it's head and it was a bit bigger than the first one. Hope that's the lot now.

best of luck - there could be hundreds more

Sorry HG - Jo been down to London for a couple of days and I`ve been out enjoying the "spring" as well as watching 5 Steven Seagal dvds ( nobody`s perfect !! ).Also re-recording all my Buddy Holly back to Media Player on the PC.
Gnocchi - presumably not potato gnocchi but semolina or wheat flour - is best served simply ..........pesto sauce,or a tomato salsa with just a reduction of onion,tomato,basil,oregano,white wine and maybe a hint of chili (garlic if you like ).Some just toss it in beurre noisette ( melted butter with lemon juice )and parsley and Formaggio Parmiggiano or Grana Padano grated over generously.
Lovely light dish and a little like Polenta , much under-rated by we Brits.
Try a Pinot Grigio to go with - delightful.

On another note my palate has gone haywire - maybe the medication ? I have got a taste for Stone`s Ginger Wine with Canada Dry over ice and my 14 and 15% reds are not being enjoyed any more !!!!! I have therefore ordered a case of Gamay/Burgundian wines to see if I can get over it and restore my blood alcohol levels at 12/13% - worth a try !

Sunshine all gone today - first daffodil out and the Forsythia blossoming - Les printemps sont arrivees ........................

ooh lucky you - no daffy down dillies here yet

But I've been having some eggscellent fun trying to get an eggstravaganza organised

That is no yolk I would imagine - have you had to shell out a lot ? I hope it will be all white on the day and doesn`t go all ovoid ............sounds like cracking fun though as long as someone doesn`t poach your idea or you will be coddled.

Oh hear we go.

(Makes for the eggsit.)

Sorry Oggy - brain`s a bit scrambled being alone and not drinking !!!

I`m a bad eggsample to the site....................................

dunno - seems to be working well enough to my not eggsactly bright brain

Thanks Tony, we had the gnocchi with a pesto sauce as you suggest, very tasty.

As for the eggsalant quips, 'nuff said!

This is my 1,000th post
Just waiting for my wife to pick up her Mother who is coming to stay for the weekend.
Weather forecast is dismal, so no excuse to get out
Why is it whenever my wife invites HER mother`s it seems to be left for me to find something for them to do?.
OH well, 60 minutes before she lands, heading for the drinks cabinet
