Word of the Day...

A friends daughter was assembling a Power Point presentation about the Romans to show to her class.
She asked her Mum to check it over with her.
One of the slides contained today's "Word Of The Day"....
So, any ideas what this is ???

Tulips

Once again i picked up some reduced flowers with the weekly shop. This morning they looked wonderful with the sun behind them.

Good Friday !!!

WOW, what a sight to be greeted with on arriving at work !!!
THREE dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts !!
Now THIS is THE best way to start a Friday !!!
A huge thank-you to Eric, one of our fellow engineers, who thought we all could do with cheering up...



Having been a huge fan of Dunkin' Donuts for years and years and years, their Boston Creme is in my opinion totally sublime, I was dragged kicking and screaming against my will into a Krispy Kreme shop three years ago whilst on holiday in the USA. And I have to admit that Krisp Kreme's ARE better than Dunkin' Donuts. My favourite being the humble glazed ring, which is just about perfect texture wise AND flavour wise too.

Brighton Pier

Saturday involved a trip to Brighton, one of my favourite cities.
Over the years it's been a sad sight seeing the old West Pier slowly falling into disrepair, before finally being battered into submission by winter storms and last years fire that finally took out the last hopes of any restoration.
It was a lovely day on Saturday, but what remains of the pier jutting out of the sea just looked so sad. It brings a lump to your throat.

Giving it up for lent !!!

Seeing as it's Shrove Tuesday today, and maybe for the first time ever, I'm actually going to be giving something up for Lent.
Today I'm giving up being slothful.

DEFINITION: Sloth is defined as spiritual and/or actual apathy or laziness, putting off what God asks you to do, or not doing it or anything at all.

And to spur me on to achieve this I've registered for the BUPA Great South Run with my brother. So I've now got a target to reach and I'm hoping that the fresh air and exercise will also help to distract me through the current redundancy talks here.

Now, where did I put those running shoes.... ????

Biscuits...

A guy here returned from a trip to our plant in Taiwan with bags of cookies for all !! A very welcome gesture. These are made by a company called Lins and as it says on the pack are hand made. There is a strange assortment, some even include sea-weed !!!
The packet I chose contained two very thin, very hard, square cookies, the corners and edges all neatly beveled.
The picture on the front shows just how to eat them !!!

Early Spring ???

With reports of Spring 'officially' starting early this year, I thought I'd add these pic's that I took on Saturday. I picked up a couple of bunches of budded Daff's while shopping on Friday evening.
When I came down to the kitchen on Saturday morning they had already started to bloom.



And by Saturday afternoon they were all pretty much out !!!



BLOOMING MARVELOUS !!!
