So how's life the universe and everything this week

[–] linzid83 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Reasonable week!! Not the worst i've ever had, but elements could be better!! How about you?

[–] Z3k3 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Busy as fuck week ended badly. Obligations for the weekend unexpectedly cancelled so looking forward to some well earned time with my wife. Just not sure how that will take shape yet

[–] linzid83 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sometimes just time together is enough!!

[–] Z3k3 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Time together is nice. I'd just like it to not be us watching netflix with the dog sat in-between us

Amusingly my idea weather permitting is taking the dog to a beach to be away from the stresses. (The down side to working from home is your never far from disaster)

[–] linzid83 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds lovely!! Going for a walk with the dog is always a great way to blow away some cobwebs!! Are you close by a beach??

[–] Z3k3 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sadly not. Tend to either goto Saltcoats or Burntisland

[–] linzid83 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Saltcoats isn't too far from me but burntisland is!! Never been to either beach!!

[–] Z3k3 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gran owned a caravan in Saltcoats when I was a kid. As a result it kinda became our goto beech. Was really good before they started up the sea front where the shows used to set up

[–] linzid83 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm like that with Portpatrick! Grandparents had a caravan there and I love going back!!

I sometimes go to beach between ardrossan and seamill with the dog but might need to take a trip to saltcoats instead!!

[–] Z3k3 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll be honest.

Never been. To either Portpatrick or Seamill. Wull need to check em out.

Sad thing is never got out. Ended up doing chores migrating more crap from the loft to the dump

[–] linzid83 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nothing much in Seamill! Portpatrick is a wee village but picturesque!!

Ach thats a shame! Too often weekends end up being about life admin. Make a plan for next weekend so you definitely get something done!!

[–] Z3k3 2 points 1 month ago

Next weekend is the start os something special 😁

[–] Z3k3 3 points 1 month ago

Your liver does not stand a chance my good man. Take a wee gles o water every couple times give it some breathing room

[–] linzid83 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Enjoy!!! Have a fab time!!

[–] Olap 2 points 1 month ago

Great stairt wi rings an wings. See how the morn fairs. Nae idea fit tae dae Sunday, we shall see

[–] linzid83 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Out for dinner and a catch up with some friends tonight! Tattie scone nachos, chicken burrito bowl then went to an ice cream shop for donuts and ice cream! Delicious!! Got another friend coming for lunch on Sunday but I dunno what to make!! Suggestions welcome!!

[–] Pzulu 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tell me about these tattie scone nachos.

[–] linzid83 1 points 1 month ago

Basically tattie scones quartered/thirded into smaller triangles. Deep fried. Sprinkled with parmesan and served with salsa and sour cream! I think you could make more of it by adding haggis then cheese!!

[–] Olap 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] linzid83 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I did! Was a lovely catch up!! Food wasn't bad either!!

[–] Olap 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lunch Sunday my suggestion is Cullen Skink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB4YQUy4I0w

Dodie's recipe the best I've tried. Smoked haddies means a trip to the fishmonger today. Dead simple and serve wi french stick sliced

[–] linzid83 2 points 1 month ago

Thats a definite no from me!! I don't like fish at all!! Will share with my mum though coz my step dad and her love it!! Thanks!
