Come on #Scotland, I need a foolproof recipe for #TattieScones or potato scones if you would prefer but not potato farles. The shops in Cornwall, for some reason have stopped selling them, even the tory Warburton ones have vanished. So please help a Scottish lass in exile in Cornwall to remember hame wi a good recipe and tell me how you make yours? I can get proper black pud and square sausage nae bother but hame made tattie scones have tae be the best, nae? #Help#Recipes
The hillside ones are too easy to catch. The males with shorter left legs and the females with shorter right legs. Just chase them round the hills into nets. But no, the woodland ones sit in branches of trees waiting for passing walkers to drop on. Whereas the pipers emit a deathly squeal, rendering their prey deaf and so easier to creep up to.
The little things that make me smile. Nicely poached eggs on toast with too much butter and cayenne pepper, a walk on the moors, a BMW grounding out in a speed hump because it was driven too fast...
Okay, let me get this straight. Some people who have no connection to mastodon accounts or, are claiming to be on the board of directors of a platform run by loads of individuals for nothing more than the challenge of doing it in most cases.
Isn't this the same as me claiming to be on the board if directors of the universe?
Sorry but you can't be a director of something that isn't owned, just by forming a company. Mastodon will simply step to one side and leave you scratching your head.
Good grief, this weather is endless and really getting me down. Last night the rain was so heavy I had to pull over for almost an hour as visibility was reduced so badly. Today it's precipitating persistently AGAIN! Absolutely baltic too, it's almost May and I'm wondering if I should put the heating on - I won't of course, can't afford that, I have a thick Oodie and lots of layers.
@RosePuckey Mum and Enrico, my step dad, used to have dinner parties. Enrico was a chef and he had a restaurant in Elgin. Anyway, as 9PM approached, Pip would snuggle up to mum. If 9PM passed, mum would get a paw on her knee as a reminder that toast was required.
When toast was produced, there would be a rush to the back door to get out to the kennels for a bedtime snack.
I have no idea what it means or what the web version of Mastodon thinks I was hoping to do. I'm logged in on Firefox as usual when at home. Anyone got an idea about this?
Oh, and if you're reading this I can toot, although it is now after 11:30 am sooooo...
@RosePuckey Ok. I've not had those messages myself (yet). Although I have a vague recollection of seeing something like that on "the other place", but years ago.
Dearest people, a little while ago at work, I swapped someone's laptop over for one that wasn't running badly. We had suspicions about this person and what he was using the laptop for alongside work and found lots of files that got them sacked instantly. Since then I have been looking through the deleted files and here is the warning. If you delete a file, you don't actually delete it. Most of the time it can be recovered. Keep your work machines just for work. You will be caught.
If you good people need to say something, say it, don't say one thing and mean something else, or claim you meant something else when someone replies. I just tried to reply to a toot that went along these lines and simply couldn't, no words could put right what was spun to their meanings, sometimes it is simply easier to block the idiots and move on rather than be right and argue.
@dgar LOL, its a rewrite of a fairytale so they could be anyone's really. I suppose if the slipper was glass, the knickers would probably not be what you expect them to be made of and are discarded purely from a comfort point of view.
I need a recipe really urgently for a bullet proof mushroom curry. It's about all I can throw together but am looking for something you would serve to Indian Royalty?
Now, I thought I had most of this sort of thing taken care of but the other day I searched (DDG) on my laptop using Firefox, behind a VPN with ad, tracking and malware blocked for a local holiday park. I followed a link to the local rather than national number on on the holiday park site. Today, TripAdvisor sent me 3 emails about booking a trip to this holiday park near where I live. I don't use TripAdvisor on my laptop but fortunately have a mail alias (now deleted) for it on my phone. BLOCKED!
Okay, after a comment last night about alcohol, I started wondering what music you good people associate with different drinks. For me it's:
Scotch -classical and reading
Bourbon-rock
Southern Comfort-out on the (motor)bike
Vodka-clubs
White wine-bbq and pop
Red wine-chillout and comfort food
Please boost and reply, I'm interested in what you think.
Dear Omaze, kindly stop giving away million pound houses in Cornwall. We have enough second and third property owners here and really don't need any more.
For those wondering what the problem is:
There is now almost nowhere for people to long term rent.
Because if this, the house prices are unaffordable on minimum wage.
If people can't live here all rear round, you, the people with multiple homes are going to have to staff all the shops, pubs, drive the taxis etc. Good luck with that.
