Tonight sees Mrs Foggy and I out with the Caddies for a Christmas meal (there is only 4 weeks till the big man fills your stockings). Oh where to eat, I think we debated for about 35 seconds before deciding on simply one of the best experiences ever (no not Mr Fogg’s cooking this time), Wasabi Teppanyaki.

This wonderful little place has two massive hot plates where the cooks put on an amazing show whilst cooking your 8 course meal (8 courses oh my).

Good food and a good evening planned.

Fore Goodness Sake

The Missus and I have kick started our fitness regime this morning, up bright and early(ish), off for a nice swim at the local toffs gowlf cwub.The plan is to get a little fitter between working and sleeping.

On this morning the fog be in very thick and yet the gentry and retirees can still be seen in their droves hitting their little white balls into some direction somewhere in the white mist. Methinks these may be slightly longer golf games than normal as they hunt their lost balls.

Anyway swimming and exercise thingy done, time for a full English!!!

Nanook o North

And here we see the lesser spotted McYeti creature in it’s normal habitat wearing oversized fluffy oody to match the oh so twendy (non-water proof) fluffy beaver boots.

Fret you not, this is not fake fur, it’s all real man made polyester complete with fire retard filling and a muppet inside. at that bloomin price I’d have demanded the sleeves too.

Frodo’s Vest

image
Frodo came a knockin at the door for his vest of Mithril Silver, only to find Mrs Fogg is wearing it.

Guess who looks better in it, yup the one with the big hairy feet, Mrs Fogg (oops no Chrimbo gifts for me).

My precious.

The Lonely Pheasant

image
It’s that time of year when the pretend gentry love to dress up in tweed, wear silly hats and walk around thinking they are hunter gatherer manly types by blasting the living daylights out of birds with scatter guns. Yes this the middle of pheasant killing time.

In deepest darkest Wales the posh oiks (them that wear pinstripes at work and want to be real men at weekends) use to gather and pay a fortune at the stotties to shoot these pesky birds that are too stoopid to run away. A few hundred miles away a totally different type of flat cap wearer (sans whippet) tries the same thing, only difference is here they only seem to breed about 100 birds and come the start of the season 90% have been run over because they don’t move. In Wales there was thousands of the blighters so chance of a kill was high.

It pleasures me immensely to see the posh oiks going home empty handed after killing nowt, cos there is none of em left.

Hats off to the lowly pheasant that they missed and if you don’t shift on Monday I’ll run ya down!!!

Long stressful day at work, no alcobooze in the house, in which case just let your hair down and go nuts.

And this is supposed to be an hadult!
