How Long used to rustle up a mean chicken stir fry.
He stuck rigidly to an old family recipe ignoring fads for mung beans, quinoa and the like insisting
black beans matter.

I just gave away a beautiful 18inch Carp to a good pond.
Purchased as a goldfish it needed to do a three point turn in our garden pond. So I freed Willie so to speak.
By the way, what are you on about?

[Bobnunton]

Everything david

[Bobnunton]

But hang on have carp got a reverse gear to do a 3 point turn ??

Take a step back. Life sweeps on by. You are not responsible for this world’s confusing responses.
Life’s a farce, and all things show it,
I thought so once, but now I know it.

[Bobnunton]

OMG the voice of doom and gloom is here again

[david small]

au contraire mon ami. Life is just a bowl of cherries. Just mind the pips.

It's only carp if you want to see it as such
Lockdown has been a chance to be creative
A chance to think and re-evaluate
If things are bad you can only change your responses, your feelings, and your actions.

Shirley your taking the pip now
