It's exciting!
Watching these bags pump up again, no idea why I am getting excited, some of them have got a helluva long way to get to anything close to 2021 levels.
Of course I am talking about crypto. But enough of that. I was supposed to stay inside and work today from home, apart from the odd trade or two which I normally do anyway...
But if you read my post yesterday The mysterious case of The Numpty and The Wallet then you will know that this numpty found out when outside the supermarket that he forgot his wallet, therefore no chicken purchased and no chicken dinner...
Today therefore I had to rectify that!
Here we see my check out items,... Chicken, baby potatoes and florets of broccoli were bought and they are all cooking as we speak.
Can you guess the price of those three items on the conveyor belt?
Touch Grass
See the positive in everything they say ... well me forgetting my wallet yesterday meant I had to go out today!
I think people are in too much of a hurry or stressed or whatever to ...
Stop listen and look what's around you...
We happen to be recipients of the most amazing free spectacle possible. Yes, nature delivers so just look ....
The first thing that stuck me today was the fluffing sky!
I mean ... Just look up
Do you see the fluffy white clouds, yes this was our sky today, no more blanket of grey but some sun and white andblue, much more my weather.
But look at the geometrical shapes, it is as if something was dropped on to the blanket of clouds and made impressions...
But I wasn't here to look at pretty clouds, no comeback on Wednesday if you want more, no I was on a mission and that means walking past this old mill, I just love buildings like this.
What a gorgeous blue sky, if it wasn't for the bare naked branches you might have thought it was summer.
Did you see anything on the picture? Well let's go closer...
Firstly there is ...
Yes it's a wee stream or burn as we say here. All the old mills were beside moving water streams or little rivers, and this one is no different.
But if you look at the building
Did you see the christmas lights in the shapes of stars?
Then that sky took over with the naked ladies!
Once home, I got the chicken cooking...
Which was the cue for me to have a pre-diner drink while I write this post!
The colour gives it away...
Do you know it?
The Roast Chicken Dinner ... finally
Yes after yesterday's momumental cockup I was so happy to get my chops round the baby potatoes. I could eat them with butter and gravy and nothing else.
You might like your rice, but for me baby potatoes are the dogs cajones!
Bon Apetit everyone!
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful new week!

Who is talking about rice?👀
We do need to see the colour every now and then to appreciate life. Yes I cried but then… always see the positives right?
Don’t you think you’re being way too brutal with those baby potatoes? They are babies🥲. Take something your own size …
In honour of the season… salimakalukutukusalimakale
lol the 🍚 rice is life brigade!
Uhoh there is a positive there, sometimes just take some digging to find it!
Hehe the poor babies hehe I could just be brutal and them on their own!
We had chicken and potatoes last night as well! I also put some of our Christmas lights up already. I don't usually do it this early, but I wanted to surprise @mrsbozz.
Oh wow, I thought that was a job for Black Friday! That is cool though, I am sure she was chuffed!
Yeah, she was pretty happy. I got some new toys too so that was fun. They should be popping on for her in about 21 minutes here!
hehe that is brilliant!

STOPThe sky always offers a spectacle, but of course, we can't spend all day with our heads up. Every day is a new gift and this one was no exception. Those little potatoes are delicious.
I hope you enjoyed your meal.
The way you described the fluffy clouds and the charm of the old mill made me feel like I was walking alongside you. And that chicken dinner looks really delicious, especially with those your “dog’s cajones” baby potatoes—must have been a treat! Thanks for sharing a bit of Scotland’s scenery and that positive touchgrass reminder. Bon appétit and cheers to more days of stopping, looking, and appreciating what's around us!
Our days are to be enjoyed, especially the beautiful sky that complements the whole landscape. Beautiful photos, thank you for sharing them, greetings!
Ohooo, feels like your bag has the right coins and tokens, I bet they are all in green now 🥸, hihi.
I feel like i'm walking with you, I like what I'n seeing here. The small stream is so clean, unlike what we have here in near our home. And what an enjoyable walj that is ✨✨
I always look at the bright side of life😌😁. I want to see those Christmas decorations at night when they are lighting up.
