Is cheese making easy? If it is, I might have to try it! I do love cheese!! 

It was really an honest comment!

Sunny here too today, hoorah! Going round a friends this evening for a bit of sitting in the garden and drinking. Lovely! 

Morning Lucy  

As long as you're not being all fancy doing blue cheese or white moulded cheeses like Brie, it's pretty simple. You only need 3 ingredients for most, plus a few utensils. There are only a couple of specialist things you need (cheese cloth and molds). After that, you just need to keep everything nice and clean, and be patient.

I'm seeing a very dignified NFR NFC meet next year!  Homemade wine and cheese evening anyone?

Quite right sir.  I shall consider myself correctly admonished.

I can see this working on the massive table by Dusty's stand!

I might look into it! Need to paint (and tidy!) the kitchen so if I make enough room tidying, I shall investigate cheese making. 

Totally up for cheese and port evening! How very sophisticated!

Gumby's making cheese and nobody's finbarred yet! 

I'm not angry with anyone, i'm just disappointed. 

See I did wonder about this, but it's more of a concept than any finbarr-able sentences.  Such a thing as trying too hard Scruff

[Quark]

Just now, Scruffylovemonster said:

'no finbarrable sentences' says quark. 

Three in one here. Each one more finbarrable than the last. 

Intervention may be needed soon guys.  I think Scruff has a problem.

We're here because we love you and we're worried about you Scruff.  You're finbarring the people who care about you.

Are you talking about restraining me and taking me by force?

This could work for both of us

Ok, this one needs a leap of faith but I maintain this is a mild Finbarr. 

That's a big one, if you ask me!

Pub lunch at work, quiet afternoon with no rush to get anything out, sunny afternoon and a bottle of rum with my name on it for when I get home.  Don't think Fridays get much better.

Pilton Party tickets on sale tomorrow, so fingers crossed our friends who live locally will be able to get those sorted out as well.  Happy days!

Super! I'm at work til soonish, then it's a bit of domestic drudgery, before going to a friends for gin in the garden

Good luck with tickets!

Morning all  

Currently dragging all the camping gear downstairs, ready to load the car later on. Keep noticing little spots of glasto m*d here and there!  

[Quark]

Olympics is on. My productivity may take a nosedive today! If I can just force myself to do useful stuff until the rugby and weightlifting comes on, I'll be happy

[Quark]

Pilton Party tickets sorted, beauties made it down to the office today!!!

Dancing round the house on a cleaning mission to Andrew WK and now Bastille!

Evening all, I have returned from camping and I am now firmly planted in the real world! And I really don't like the real world! I was on a bit of a downer thinking I have no more holidays left until mother dearest called me and told me we're off to Barbados in December for our 40th and 60th birthdays. Oh my fricking God I'm so excited!!! I've bought a full on whole face covering snorkelling mask.. And I'm going to water ski!! Eeek!

Ooh, nice!  

just one tip - if you get a chance to dive with manta rays, do it, you won't regret it!

Sounds preferable to a hungover 5.45am Sunday start with a 7 month old...

Yup. CBeeBees is doing my fucking head in though. 

Star Wars is going on in a minute.

Oh I will. I'm up for trying everything. This is a holiday of a lifetime so I need some experiences to go with it.

Got to be honest Woffy, to me most things are preferable to that!

Hello Woffy.

Sending you harmony and  best wishes. Hope the head clears soon. There are people downstairs who are talking utter shite right now. Not a single one has the sense they were born with. May have to dip my toe in the water, so must head off.

And there's drink down there!
