I had always wondered about doing a trip on the Orient Express, but after seeing a programme about it on the fools lantern, I don’t ever ever ever want to. £4K one way, poncy, overpriced, one toilet per carriage, food included, drinks extra and to be honest I would end up asking for a refund!

And this week we had the oak floors sanded downstairs. It involved getting the cat into the Cattery to avoid her walking on it/ sticking to it (and that was no mean feat). Then a primer and 2 coats which means we can’t walk from the kitchen to any other room, enter the Fogg Adventure Game involving plank walking to avoid touching the floors.
Oh Boy

Well my jalopy has been in the shop having all of its firmware flashed, it comes to something when a mechanic needs a degree in computer science to service your car. So in the meantime we had to slum it in this little beast a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is only a 3.0litre v6, with a return of 24.2mpg and cost to fill up of £120, ouch! But my goodness does it purr like a lion and kick like a mule. Electric everything and 87 buttons to boot (kiddy in a toy shop). This thing even has a facility to lower it down by 6 inches to make it easier to get in and out of, heated seats and vented when it gets hot.
On returning the loaner after having my car all flashed, I took the opportunity to sit in, fire up and Rev the engine of the flagship Grand Cherokee HIMV, now that is a real beast 6.4litre V8, with a sound that makes grown men weak at the knees.
Awesome

Ahh the world is an ever changing place, so eating bacon is as bad for you as smoking and in the same league (really, have you ever tried to roll up a rasher). And now the latest is if you have a warped sense of humour you are more likely to suffer from dementia. Boy am I ever screwed!

Welcome to our bathroom bobble head Pope, set to watch over you.
And this week we had The Folkies over from the land of the lil peeple. Time to practice our culinary skills and prepare a Beef Wellington, which turned out top notch, even if I do say so myself.
