Good point !!
Mrs T and I go through phases where we seem to eat salads almost all of the time.....But then get fed up with them.....'Cos we've eaten so many !!
Cheers - Phil.....(Up into the attic again later to have another go at the roof where the ridge tile blew off.....and see if I can do a better job, before someone can actually come round and put a new tile back on !.....What fun !!)

The missus made a lovely salad the other day - lettuce, red onion, red pepper, walnuts, feta cheese and crispy bacon with a lemon dressing.

Why is it whenever I eat salad, I wonder why I don't eat salad more?

In our house it's stir-frys. We've tried them with prawns, salmon, diced chicken - you name it. Stick in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, white wine vinegar and lemon juice and serve with rice or noodles. 

I became a born again salad eater last summer when I realised I could make a great salad without using letuce or cucumber, two of the most worthless food stuffs ever, but with chillis, rocket and balsamic vinegar - I like my salads to bite back.

Tom Kerridge had a recipe on the telly a few weeks ago for a sald dressing using warm dripping, presumably you have to eat it before it sets 

You can have some Techno blood for flavour...If you want it !

Just now......

"I'll just go and use the log splitter dear,"....Sez I.
"I can't watch you."....Sez Mrs T.
"Can't you trust me to do even THAT..... I'll be fine !".....

OOOPS !....Log splits...Flies backwards, JUST hitting my forehead.

Blood spurt...murder....(I'll keep my gob shut until I've cleared the trail up.)
Amazing how much of a mess it makes with just the most miniscule of cuts on the forehead......

Cheers - Phil

Ouch!

Hope there's no visual impairment or brain damage that makes your hand shake?

Nope... ....I just find it extraordinary how much blood you can leave in a trail of (about) 20 yards/meters when you've got a tiny 'snick' just around the hairline....the 'cut' (HAH) being about 1/4 of an inch (what's that ?....about 6mm) long.

Mrs T knows....I've owned up.......In case she finds any blood in the kitchen......She'd have noticed ! 

Cheers - Phil 

Ow! Hope your okay mate. 
Sh...t that could have been nasty.

You could have got a splinter or something! 

Will.

It was like being given the slightest 'poke' (steady boys ) with a finger !
It was only when I felt something 'dribbling' down my face .....and the fact that I'd got a red tint all over my glasses...(What the F's that then ?) That I thought I might have done something a bit silly.

I'm absolutely fine......Nothing more than a 'nick'.....But.....It was just SO impressive leaving SUCH a trail of blood from the pole barn back into the kitchen...While trying to hide the fact from the other half. 

Cheers - Phil

How many more times, Phil - hit the log with the axe, not the other way round...

In my case Ray, it's misusing a hydraulic splitter.....So things fly off......Sometimes backwards !
Cheers - Phil

That's even worse! Technology even! 

But still probably a lot safer than yours truly wielding the long handled axe !
Cheers - Phil

Phill - I wouldn't let you lose with any sharp object.....

Yeah, I don't see you as a huscarl in a shield-wall, Phil. You'd keep reaching for the Bren gun....

Gimme a break  .......I only cut myself with a scalpel (properly) about once a year.....If that...
I'm probably overdue 'one of those moments'..... when I sneak downstairs to get some plasters...Hoping Mrs T doesn't spot me.
I don't half get into trouble when I leave a blood trail through the house. 

Cheers - Mr Clumsy (But only when I rush!)

My son has just had a conditional offer from University of South Wales for their Computer Games Design course.  Last year the first two weeks were spent playing board games, and discussing why 'This' is a good game and 'That' isn't.

Good work fella!

Good for him. Can't help feeling "discussing why 'This' is a good game and 'That' isn't" doesn't feature highly enough in game design!

Sounds good to me
