Golly gosh! Have you heard about the tornado which ripped through Wales and Shrewsbury earlier this afternoon? Blimey! And those winds of over 95 mph! Cor blimey! Well, she's just looked outside and is exceedingly glad that she didn't go to the garden.. aka the allotment.. earlier, for it's gusting and busting a gale out there folks, trees are being battered and leaves are a'tumbling down like snow in a blizzard.
She experienced a tornado at the allotment several years ago, it came a'prancing across Dukes Meadows dancing its' evil twisty dance, hit the structure behind Little Shed and, although this was made of 4" x 4" and 2" x 2" wood, it ripped it apart as if it was a piece of paper and the corrugated roof, plus its' timbers with long screws and nails all sticking out, came sailing through the air in her direction.
Luckily Old Joe was facing that way and yelled "down" and they hit the ground as it flew over them and crash landed the other side of the railway track.
"That was a bit close" said Old Joe "I think we need a cup of very strong tea" and off up the track they went to his big shed where he had rigged up solar panels and a battery with a drip feed. Tea and crumpets, just the thing when you've been that close to being decapitated by your own shed's roof!
What's been going on here today, well, numpty left, they have agreed to leave the gaping hole in the floor open in order for the wet concrete to dry out. Having had what heat that was in our home disappear out of the front door and up the stairs, never to be seen again, she retired to bed and I retired to the top of her head.
It is, after all, certainly the comfiest place to be and certainly the warmest, for her head is toasty and that pleases me greatly as my toes are then very cosy toes.
What have we eaten? Ah, it was truly scrummydumptious indeed! Lentils with carrots, garlic, sweet potatoes, onions and bits of brocolli stalk were reheated in a large frying pan together with a couple of frozen vegetable stock cubes. Then she added three tasty looking sausges from our LubblyJubbly butcher.
If asked, he will make them with no added potato or bread fillings (for people who are allergic to such things) and she buys and freezes them. So three sausges, which had defrosted over night, were added to the pan and cooked over a low heat.
A good dollop of hot and spicy sauce was just what was needed to give the dish a goodly bit of 'ZIP' then we settled down to eat it with much pleasure, it was followed by an equally scrumptious Cox. How we love this variety of apple.
So you see.. even after all these years, she's still following Bill's instructions.. which were in the words of the song.. 'Button up your overcoat.. Eat an apple every day.. get to bed by three.. but he didn't specify which three of the clock he meant!
You'll only know what I am talking about if you've read that particular post.
