Crisp Sandwich

We were reared on these li'l savouries....( on a good week !! )
so the good old crisp butty is having a revival....yep every where i've been this week, Radio, TV, On line...I've heard people debating over this li'l snack.....
I wasnt surprised to discover that some people have never tried one.  But I was surprised to hear of some of the variations of it ....proper gourmet style!!!!
 Apparently there is even a shop which specialises in crisp sandich now....in Belfast....reportedly selling out within 2 hours of opening!!!!   
Wow...who would of thought.....
 
 
varieties now include: granary bread, pannini, ciabatta, seeded, wraps, toasted sandwich, ( not at the top of my list, cuz u miss the crispiness of the crisp if its on toast !!!   lol ) its endless tho....try it with cheese and onion....mmmmm
Well I for one will be sampling all of them....lol

New Years Resolution...spurred on by my husband


Is it too late to begin a new years resolution???
 
Funny thing ...I've ben spurred on to make this new years resolution because my husband has suffered from a really bad back
  
Bless him...he's a real workaholic...so just the fact that he has been out of action for a couple of weeks has mentally destroyed him, not to mention the physical excrusiating pain hes been in.

Over the 30 years we have been married i have never known him too actualy take time off due to ill health, sure he's been ill, it would be a miracle if over 30 years he hadnt been, occasional colds, several bouts of back problems, some quite bad cuts and a very severely sprained ankle...mainly the result of hard work and an over whelming desire to improve his empire  ( which he has been working his guts at since hes been about 12 years old...but thats another story )
So what is it...this new years resolution..I hear u ask ????

Obviously to be fitter...but not just that!!!   no i am goin to learn how to do yogaaaaaa.  
Yep I'm gonna b fit n flexible n healthy  n live to b well over 100  ( hopefully )  lol...well thats the plan
I've always been interested in yoga, but in a kind of half hearted way.  But afer trying almost everything else ( except for surgery ) my husbands back was no better!!! So i suggested stretching and that transpired into a few yoga stretches ( and a few fits of laughter, n I think that helped ) and wether by luck or judgement, they really seemed to be helping, which set me thinking that we could all benefit from being more flexible.
  

If i dont blog for a while....u wil no i have got myself into a knot...n cant get out!!!!   lmao


 

Fussy squirrels

My once grateful furry squirrels have turned into fussy feeder!!!!

 I aways put some food out for the many critters that visit my garden...and if we are having some toast they get some too.....well they used to like it ....
So you can imagine my suprise this morning when i thought because we had had our first snow fall of the year i would put a few more slices of toast out ( well there is 4 of them!!! )

They soon smelt it and came bouncing over....but to my surprise they just sniffed it and went...but when i put a few bourbon biscuits out they were back!!!!   took the biscuits and went......
They were soon back sniffing around...turning their noses up at the toast......but reluctantly they decided to have he toast as well!!!!!

Respect Rspect Respect to the people of Paris...Je Suis Charlie

Respect...Respect...Respect


How can I just not say anything.....I've nearly always got something to say about everything...and to be sure some people say 50% of it is pretty crap...( and the other 50% is waffle!!!! )
So Its fair to say i need to say something about the news that has captivated the world for the last week.....

and the people of Paris have earned my deepest respect and admiration
They stood up got counted.... they stood together and became one.... for freedom of speech.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their friends and families
May God give them the strength and courage they will need 
God Bless
