  • I am tempted to make toad-in-the-hole with a nice thick onion gravy

  • Ooh good call...I have some puff pastry in the freezer :)

  • Anyone else have a surplus of uncooked sausages and burgers from their grand final BBQ? I seriously over-estimated the appetite of our guests! I'd be fine with hotdogs and cheeseburgers for the rest of the week, but Mrs_Owl would be over meat-in-bread for dinner pretty quickly. I'm thinking I could smoosh the sausage meat into meatballs to have with pasta or rice. The burgers will just have to be eaten as intended.

  • I can be a bit of a space nerd at times, so quite excited to read about the successful return to Earth of a sample taken from an asteroid that's whizzing around the sun. The mission set off over 7 years ago sent a robotic probe to map the asteroid, collect samples and came back to Earth drop to them off by parachute in a capsule. The probe then turned around and is now heading towards a different asteroid. Cool.

  • Love it when a plan comes together! Congratulations to them both. Was the champagne flowing?

  • So it works then?! :) We've just had one replaced that's now brighter and more sensitive than the old one, gets me every time, usually greeted with "fuck!" as it blinds me

  • Whoohoo! MRI results came back and the neurologist says all clear. Well, his exact words were "there's nothing major" but I'll take that as a good thing. Also my psych appointment for the ADHD assessment has been brought forward from November to next week. I hope they confirm it because it would explain a hell of a lot and I can get finally get treatment.

  • Well that's great news that they cleared up.
    Re: metal...one of the questions asked if I was aware of having any bullets lodged in me! lol

  • Did they identify a cause of the migraines? It was my head and neck, took about 20mins

  • Thanks, should find out within 48 hours. Alarmingly one of the checks the referring neurologist requested was to see if I'd had a stroke :0/

  • They didn't suggest it, I suppose because I wasn't going to be medicated

  • No, wasn't even offered as an option!

  • Had an MRI this morning, first time. I knew it was going to be an uncomfortable experience but I wasn't expecting to feel completely stoned afterwards. Had to sit in the car for 20 minutes before I felt capable of driving home and even now I still feel a bit spacey. Might have a nap.

  • Oh that takes me back. In 1970s UK there was regular graffiti in the local public toilets saying "Here I sat broken-hearted, paid a penny and only farted" lol

  • There's also the scene when Jessica Rabbit and Eddie get thrown from the car...and whether she was animated without underwear or not
