Sounds as if one of your vices is drums Dpack; I always say my main vice is playing the violin. It doesn't sound loud close to, but it penetrates and can be heard at a distance far better than less pure notes.
Sad that Anzac day has been turned into a political sideshow in Aus Cassandra. I am always saddened by the way politicians take over Remembrance Day here too. Our sons MP was actually taking pictures of the crowd during the 2 minute silence the year before last. Son, who was there with his wife as sheepdog for her Brownie pack, was disgusted.
My grandfather was in WWI, but all he ever told me about was digging trenches in Ireland. Not sure if that was when he was training or during the uprising as he never told me. My parents were involved in communication in London during WWII. Father got sent to various radar stations to install field telephones when the lines were destroyed among other things. That must have been when he was about 17 I think, and was working on other telephone/radio etc. things. He worked at Dollis Hill where the Bombe machines were made, but said as far as he knew he never worked on them, although if he was told to 'build this' he wouldn't have known anyway. Mum was a telephone engineer and really enjoyed the work, if not the conditions in bombed out telephone exchanges. Although they were civilians, I think some of the effects of the war on them lasted into my childhood. |

I don't think my chances of catching it were very good as I am sure it is a great deal faster than me. Sprinting has never been my good point, and these days I prefer a fast walk to a run anyway, although I did seriously think about running yesterday when I got caught in a very heavy rain shower.
A good recipe I have using sausages is a cassoulet recipe in the Hairy Bikers slimming book. It uses sausage, bacon (ham or similar would do), chicken and beans in a tomato sauce. I have adapted it to suit our taste, so only use haricot beans, but think they recommend a mixture of haricot and callinoni beans. I make the quantity they recommend and freeze the rest, but only put in enough sausages for the immediate portion, then cook sausages and add the rest for each subsequent serving. It makes about 6 portions.
Yesterday I stayed home as the forecast was for heavy rain about lunch time. Husband and son emptied the kiln, then the rain came so they gave up. Today is refilling and probably bagging. We also need some more pallets for stoking the fire, so they need to get some from a local tyre company. |
