Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Well, won't you feel silly when you find out I'm dashingly handsome and youthful looking?!

It's true. My mum said so.

I had to work Friday and Saturday but Tuesday is my day off, so it's still a three day weekend!

 

No ! You CANNOT sacrifice the cow !

 

You could add "portmanteau word of the day". Twazzock could be a good one to start with.

 

I didn't realise the IoW had a Hall of Mirrors.

We now know what the cow says but what about the fox?

 

I've never seen Golden Syrup over here, but it seems Walmart USA sells it. I'll have to snag a can, next time I cross the border.
For now, best I can do is maple syrup or Grenache (oldschool caramel spread).

 

That is an outrageous slur!

 

FTFY!

@TheBlackSwordsMan
You can make Golden Syrup by boiling up sugar and making it acidic - I've seen it demonstrated on YouTube, better stick to the real thing though. Much more viscous than Maple syrup with a distinctive delicate flavour that isn't just sweet. Here in the UK, Lyle's GS is the stuff to have, it's a sacred animal in my family! [along with Bird's Custard...]

 

Stop using words!!!!

Mods make the nasty man stop using them bad wordz!!!

 

spent most of today sitting in front of the cintiq with a cool breeze and a hot mug of tea next to an open window, happily painting away to the sound to the rain drumming on the sheet covering my atv.

****ing bliss

 

pancakes...I hope you have crepes in mind, and not those nasty things from the colonies.

 

Forgiven, even if that is a Trumpesque excuse.

Phew, I was starting to doubt reality for a while there... Moreso than usual.

Awesome, hope you still made them do the washing up.

With all this talk of Yorkie Puds, I thought I should post a picture of my handmade specials. Boy were they good with the gravy I made!!

 

See beautiful house online with all the extras rooms, bathrooms, garden, drive etc, phone up view property, walk into the estate agents bump into the owner.

Done deal!

 

I fly out to Sweden on Monday morning - my flights, hotel, and UK transfers are all paid for... It is for work, but it's the first time I've left the UK since I moved back in 1994. It's both awesome and weird at the same time; I've lived in so many different places* in my life that I feel like I've had more than enough of travelling but at the same time I'm really looking forward to it.

Not looking forward to the Swedish prices though - every damn penny I spend, even if it's 12kr on a coffee, is getting claimed in expenses.

Oh, and getting up at 0230 on Monday, that doesn't sound like fun either - might just be easier to pull an all-nighter...

*In order: South Wales, Scotland, North Wales, The Netherlands, Germany, back to South Wales (and then to 4 different cities/towns in Wales)...

 

I did the opposite once when leaving Sweden, pulled an all nighter... er technically I was working night shift so I am not sure if it counts.

Turned out to be an interesting trip home as I had a 5 hour layover in Heathrow, found a lovely bench in a quite hallway with no arm rests in between the seats and settled down for a 4 hour nap... until I was woken by security. I'd deposited my carry on bag behind the bench after confirming it was not visible to any one walking up or down the hallway. I did not count on the lovely big window behind the bench and one of the ground crew reporting seeming unattended luggage. So glad I was in the UK and not USA. The officer was very pleasant and understanding and explained the situation. The biggest issue was that I was so groggy with sleep the officer spent several minutes (that I am aware of) trying to confirm if I spoke English. This interruption in sleep might have been a blessing in disguise, as following my conversation with security I was unsure if I'd have woken to my alarm. Plus I had gotten a solid 2.5 hours of sleep and was now felling hungry.
