The Free Range Egg and other stories


I feel the need to wax lyrical about the free range egg. This could be due to the fact that two people I know now supply me with them on a regular basis,the scone queen and the godson. The scone queen brings them into work whereby I leave out 2.50 for half a dozen. On the occasions I visit the godson, a far greater investment is required to support his back garden industry and I have been known to part with a fiver!Now I realise that this inflated offering is probably teaching the 13 year old a bad business lesson but I feel very virtuous and it does appear to make these eggs taste even better....or so I tell myself. Now the fact that I have these suppliers means that I don't have to go as far as keeping chickens myself...the latest must- have accessory.I reckon the Mad One would be great as a chicken breeder as lord knows every egg that goes past her gets fertilised !
Newly Single has a few interesting hen stories by the way, one including the kidnap and solitary confinement ( in an old bed side locker) of poor Henny, soon after she had suffered the loss of her best friend Penny. This incident lasted for 3 days and I believe the hen in question has received counselling for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder....hasn't stopped her laying though....the resilient female of the species !The perpetrator of this henious crime ( daughter number 3) continues to eat eggs with gay abandon but I am confident that the hen community are plotting their revenge !!!!

Running Naked !

Image
Yesterday I announced the the KOK's that I would be running the Judge 6K naked. By naked I meant I was going to leave my smartphone with it's running app in my car, not have it strapped to my arm advising me of every kilometer done, telling me my average speed and generally annoying me. I really enjoyed the peace and tranquility and ran my best run yet. http://womensrunning.competitor.com/2013/01/training-tips/naked-running_9269 There's alot to be said for nudity. This, of course got us to talking about actual naked running and wondering if naked runs exist and the difficulties we larger ladies would have. I set my mind to finding out all I could. It appears there is quite a naked running following, particularly, of course, in the old USA. The favourite one is the Caliente Dare to Bare 5k , which has the added advantage of a day long pool party to help you recover. I am fairly confident that alot of cooling down takes place in that pool, but maybe also a little hottin...

Fat Friends

Image
The key to looking slim is hanging around with people who are fatter than you are.I kinda forget this and have failed to make myself look any better due to the fact that those I am most often seen with are all smaller than I. I am not suggesting that I hang around with a bunch of supermodels ( they will not be offended by this). I try to hang with the "built for comfort not for speed" type but the FA has let me down badly a) by turning into a slim person and b) by introducing an even slimmer Sparkle to the group ! And she's meant to be a friend!The Baking Queen is pregnant...thank you, the blonde declares she has put on a stone ( I am not sure but it's good of her to say) and Newly Single has a Thyroid problem...happy days !True friends ! Bigfoodiemama is too big presently. A drastic decision has been made....I will return to WW this Thursday....just before a birthday dinner out with the all of the above for the FA's birthday. I am declaring my intent so that I ha...

Hunky Dory.....NOT !

Image
It was definitely the crisps ! This is the story of a girl who will NEVER eat the green Hunky Dorys EVER AGAIN ! The poor girl ( poetic license) thought last Friday night would be a straightforward evening of chat, dancing, fun at the evening of her first cousins wedding, but it didn't exactly turn out, as she thought it would. Of course The Mad One and the FIS ( fluent Irish speaker) set the wheels in motion, when they met in Lidl and decided that the men were to be left at home, and it would be a girls night out. Again The Mad One compounded matters when she offered to drive and collect the poor girl from her home on Friday evening to make the 90 minute trip to the hotel. On the way, the crack was mighty, but being three women in a car, there had to be a loo and coffee stop, at which point FIS showed her true Irish roots, bu arriving back into the car with a selection of snacks "for the journey home". A large bag of Minstrels and Galaxy Counters ( Minstrels without the ...
