Only tried it the once and wasn't too keen I'll stick with my pinhead oats and weekend bacon instead. I do like Mackerel on toast for lunch that and Marmite are my favourite things to have on toast.
Marmite? YUK!! To be honest these days breakfasts are a more subdued affair. I would love a fishy breakfast but only if someone else is cooking it, and that isn't going to happen in this house. It's Sunday today so the weekly cooked breakfast - scrambled duck eggs and bacon.
Morning All
Plenty of overnight rain but brighter now. Seems strange not seeing the kids on Fathers Day for the first time in 35 years, sure we will make up for it soon.
The allotment cat has been made homeless as the plot holder has taken thier PT down, going to convert an old chicken run today for her....needs her comforts at 13
Have a super day all
Happy Sunday and an extra special dose of Happiness for the Father's .
All this talk of breakfast fads and fancies - fresh picked fruit and granola with yogurt if I have some, or without if I don't!!
I don't fish for breakfast as the taste stays with me all day, so they're very much an evening thing when I can sleep it off.
White sausage makes me think of "Ripping Yarns" - "Eeh, the Black puddings were so black, even the white bits were black".
I was on a course in London with others were from all over the UK. We'd meet up every 3 weeks for a week's training and this went on for 2 years so we go to know each other well. We'd all bring some of our local specialities for a "party" each time we met. - The Scots would bring Square sausage, IrnBru, Edinburgh rock and some sort of soft toffee/fudge?
It was great fun, until it came to the exams!
Enjoy your day, GanG.

I think I managed about 3 hours sleep last night so I think a nap will be in order this afternoon! Hope you all have a lovely day! x
I wonder is white sausage like our Irish whit pudding, it is made from pork offal with spices and meal, similar to haggis without the sheep’s bits and the pin head oat meal. We fry it with black pudding and have it as part of the Full Irish, we would also heave it as part of a fry up (good soaker after a feed of Guinness), or as part of a mixed grill.
I must say I love haggis and would always order it if I seen it on a menu
Afternoon all
What have I done? A large shed is being demolished two doors from me so I piped up "Can I have the wood fro the woodburner?"
Of course they were glad to get rid of it but when I went round and had a look at it I thought "Oh, cripes, what have I let myself in for?"
I told my neighbour I would be round after the Toon match at 1.00pm with a belly full of Sunday dinner down me, and will bring my chainsaw, BIG hammer and wheelbarrow.. A lot of it will be good for kindling once chopped up, but its not the ideal way of spending Fathers day.
Howay the toon!
You must be one of the Looney Toons, Vinnie .
Well, just spent an age trying to find you lot! I cleared my cookies today but it cleared them all on every device including history and logged me out of all websites!! Couldn’t find Garden and Gossip on the web no matter what I tried. Then after much moaning and groaning my son pipes up...did you not get an email confirmation from them when you joined? Aargh...could you not have said that hours ago?!! So hey presto I’m back!!! Yay!!
Hope you had a great day! That sounds like hard work Vinny!!!
And to top it all off...someone, and I’m not naming names but it wasn’t me or OH, left the freezer door open so half the stuff had to be binned! Nothing expensive thank goodness but still a waste!!
I am sitting here 'Donald Ducked'
Managed to break up more than half the shed after the toon match and transport it back to my garden.I will collect the rest tomorrow (If I can still walk!)
Two good things happened today though
1) The toon won 3-0
2) My DIL baked me the best cheese cake for Fathers day I have ever tasted.
TTFN

And you lot eat white sausage up there! Yuk
Scarlet in all honesty I’ve no idea what white sausage is?!! Black pudding now that’s another story!!! Yummy!! ?
I thought it was quite a thing in Scotland? We get it online for my Step Dad along with his haggis. Same as as black pudding but it hasn't got the pigs blood in it.
