Hedgecutter Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Heading away on my main 2020 holiday tomorrow that I hate to admit has been driven by and planned around the purchase of a fresh, hot Stephen's bridie. The other half thinks it's all about getting to stay in a castle, but it was the only decent available hotel that was within a reasonable distance of a Stephen's outlet that's open on a Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pal had frogs in his garden pond and never had a slug problem in his garden I'm not expecting many slugs when it's tarmacked tbf. Regardless, I probably sealed their fate by moving them but it was either move them and give them a chance or throw them in the skip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thistledo Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Trying to eat healthier breakfasts as going by the NHS website my current choices are not. So I tried to make porridge this morning, followed the box instructions exactly and it was runny as f**k, fired more oats in and put it back in the microwave. This time the bowl overflowed with roasting hot slop I managed to burn myself with and coupling that with having to clean the microwave now I was pretty angry about it all, probably increasing my blood pressure. Moral of the story is I should have just eaten the fucking crunchy nut cornflakes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moral of the story is I should have just eaten the fucking crunchy nut cornflakes. If it helps, half a cup of oats, 1 and 1/2 cups of water. Pinch of salt. On the hob and stir gently for about 5 -6 minutes or until it looks the way you like. Works every time. If you wear a Fitbit, the stirring adds to your steps as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the sachets and give it three and a half minutes (750w). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However much oats are in pot, fill upto that level with cold water and then top with a touch of milk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the sensitive animal lover I am I didn't have the heart to chuck them in the skip. Thankfully the mother was close by and I managed to scoop the eggs and frog up and put them in the nearby field and completed my good deed for the day. A wee while later I spotted another frog and took it to the same place. The eggs I had left earlier were gone. And so I'm now wondering if the first frog has taken the eggs away to hide or if I had the mother the second time and the first frog was an intruder who has just got a free meal. Don't move frogs. It can spread the chytrid plague. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.arguk.org/info-advice/advice-notes/324-advice-note-4-amphibian-disease-precautions-a-guide-for-uk-fieldworkers-pdf-2/file&ved=2ahUKEwit3ujevfLrAhWSiVwKHUphDOQQFjAAegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw0AcvWs_y6XttnTf5hU9gSF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
