ROAST CHICKEN..

So that there will be NO nonsense in the kitchen tonight... not one mouthful of any member of the Foreign Food Brigade is to appear at the table. SHE went into the kitchen last night to get a glass of water and they were still muttering and so SHE gave them a warning.. they were to stop all the nonsense immediately OR SHE would get Mrs. Steriliser out.

Not one peep has been heard from that moment on.. Do YOU have Mrs. Steriliser in YOUR kitchen. She is very good and WE use her to keep kitchen cloths, washing-up brushes and drains clean. Also she is very good in Mrs. Wash Machine for white clothes and dish towels. But Mrs. Steriliser is very strong, strong enough to make eyes water, so all those norty Foreign Food Brigade Folk knew it was time to pipe down and behave themselves.

What a pleasant night it was, tummy full and weather warm meant that both of US slept very well, what a difference from last Saturday. But that dreary Weather Forecast says WE will be having another cold week-end, why? SHE wanted to go to the allotments this weekend, it is sad but as there have been so many very unpleasant things happening down there SHE doesn't feel safe any more. SHE used to go all the time and sometimes SHE would get up very early and be there by 08.00am! But since the nasty men hitched up Elaine's little caravan and drove it away, SHE only wants to go when SHE knows other people will be there in case there is any trouble.

SHE went up the road to Gill's flat today in just a sweater! And it was warm... such a difference to last weekend when I was more than willing to get under HER big feather quilt and be cuddled... oh, MY ears and feathers were so cold.. why was it SO cold? What was ole Wind trying to prove or tell us? Yes, it is winter, WE know that, what was he up to, norty Wind, apparently this new cold is coming in from the North West.. well, Beak into shoulder blades is MY answer to that.

Next week SHE will be back at the Charity Shop doing HER Volunteer work, the shop had to have new electrics, SHE was there with Amber one day when a fire started out underneath the sink... scary stuff, suppose the fire had broken out just three ours later... the whole of the building would have gone up in flames, fire and smoke... the whole place has been redone and I think it re-opens this weekend.

That will mean I am 'home alone' on that day but as long as there is cardboard to chew and an ample supply of YumYum, I am used to HER doing this work for this Charity, it is a very well worthwhile one too. The shops support a Hospice. OUR shop raises the most money every year, the shop is always pretty and smart and considering that they are selling stuff that people have given away.. well, it takes a lot of work to make it look so that someone else will pay a reasonable sum for it.

Tomorrow is HER day at the Studio. And if I go with HER depends on the weather, the forecast is dire for tomorrow, so I may stay 'home alone', SHE goes by bus and much as I would LURVE to go and see everyone, I don't want ole north-west Wind in MY air sacks. SHE tried to go by the underground but by the time SHE had walked up and down all those internal passages, HER knees were in such a sorry state that they started playing up again. HER knees have been very well behaved for a very long time, so SHE was sad that they were made sore by going underground, there are stairs at Studio so SHE has to be able to go up and down them.. so a number 19 bus is the way WE go to work.

If WE are having Roast Chick-the-lick, then I get some BONES... oh, this is a serious munch and scrunch time.. crack those there bones open and lick out the marrow, why yes, of course, I have a tongue, it is black and very chic.. However, marrow which is beyond delicious, get's all over Beak, so SHE is very kind and wipes Beak with a napkin.

Did YOU all go onto YouTube to watch 'Two Dogs Dining'?... oh ME, oh MY, how WE laughed. It was very clever and very funny. "Thank you" to whoever made that video.

OK, Dear Reader, it is time to go to the kitchen and watch HER do the vegetables, WE are having, as a special treat for me, mashed Sweet Potato with butter and a little Nutmeg.. jurst what WE need if old man Wind is coming back to see us. I hope YOU have something delicious to eat for YOUR supper?

GeeGee Parrot.
