We had fish and chips on Brighton pier not long ago and after eating them, we both got indigestion all afternoon, very greasy!

Have to admit that of recent years I've become addicted to getting frozen fish 'n chips and cooking them myself Then if I don't like them I've got the culprit close by so no point complaining !!
And with that its GOOD NIGHT !! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Talking of things being frozen it's pretty chilly in York this morning, snow on the ground. Will attempt to visit the Railway Museum, seeing the Tim Peake space capsule on this visit should he interesting. V slippy underfoot so not much else planned.

You can probably get it cheaper in Tesco, SteveL. Chinese takeaways that you can just heat in the oven or microwave and prawn crackers too!

Yes I agree, redface! I prefer thick chunky chips too but the way my wife cooks them using a healthier oil.

Probably M but that would be a bit pointless, as I would have to drive several mile there and back. We very rarely have a take away and it would normally be a spur of the moment thing.
As to the prawn crackers, yes they sell them, yes they are cheaper. Are they as nice tasting. No!!

Had an email yesterday from our library telling that a book I had ordered had arrived so we went in today just before lunch and picked it up. Great.
2 hours later received another email telling me yet another book had arrived! Aargh. Have to wait now as I can't get in tomorrow and we're away in the van on Sunday for a week.

Had an e-mail from some-one called Philip Murray with a receipt attachment. A pointless e-mail as I binned it immediately!!

I think you have successfully resurrected it, ABM!

I was accused on the 'What are you all up to' thread of dominating the discussion and trolling, simply because I suggested Brighton as a more preferable location than the Canary Islands, would you believe it? Now that's what you call petty as well as pointless!

At this time of the year, I would vote for the Canaries rather than Brighton but then I wasn't a penguin i a previous life.

We also had heavy rain overnight, but dry at the moment .
Need to go and get another watch battery as watch seems to have stopped, hoping it won't be pointless, as watch broken😕

I'm lost!
Mrs WN has taken mother out in her jalopy. The house is quiet, there are no jobs to be done (well none that I can find, although I might not have tried very hard). The caravan is packed for our week away from tomorrow apart from those overnight things and I'm forbidden from getting into the attic to sort it out until Easter.
Oh well, might just have to have another coffee.

Pointless posting on the 'other thread' so I will say hello to everyone on here
Another lovely day today bit more of a breeze though which was nice. Managed to do 23 lengths of the pool today over 2 sessions again
we've now caught up on our sleep and feeling nice and relaxed.Off to the big market tomorrow, there are markets going on all the time here but the biggest one is at Teguise on a Sunday. I rarely buy anything but I do enjoy a mooch around.
Off out for a meal tonight, stayed in and cooked last night.
Have a good weekend all.

It would be pointless to disagree TG as I feel the same.😉 My day here started with a bit of a shock as I got the boiler settings wrong and ended up having a very cool shower. The day did improve, despite miles of driving and about a 9 mile walk we finally saw the Snowy Owl 🦉 albeitvery distant. 👏👍
Strange that WN whenever Mrs One goes out I look for jobs but end up drinking coffee and watching B&W movies 🎥

How wonderful you saw the Snowy Owl Oneputt, even if it was at a distance.
Well worth the trip.1 -
Pointless waiting for mothers day for MIL as we're off in the van tomorrow so opened some bubbly tonight and cooked her favourite meal. She's already had a pressie and she found out late this afternoon that she won a raffle from the garden centre MrsWN took her to this morning. Loads of crafting goodies no less.She filched the flowers given to MrsWN by the car saleswoman yesterday, so all in all she's not gone short and we can disappear with a clear conscience. So win/win all round.

We like that market up in Teguise, TG - whenever we'very been in Lanzarote we've always driven up there on a Sunday. Some good leather items and usually a couple of fabulous cheese sellers. It's 3 or 4 years ago now since we were last there, but we stayed for about an hour listening to one of the best buskers I've ever hear belting out loads of Neil Young songs. Best 5 euros I've spent on the island!

Now Brian's feeling his age, Moulesy -- the Neil Young he recalls only sang when he scored yet another goal for Manchester City
!Delighted to hear you're taking your exercise even on holiday TammyG but take care in them thar market place thingies 'cos you just might end up buying some of them thar leather bound cheeses Moulesy mentioned

Oooh! Cool shower bet that was a shock to the system
glad you saw the snowy owl.Have a good trip WN.
Glad to hear (on the other thread) you are drying out moulesy, as you say good job you go down early, what a mess you would have had. In 1993 my sister got flooded out of her house when the River Tay burst its banks. What a mess after the water went down, took them 5 months before they got back in.
