Disgusting! Iâm calling the police! tuts furiously The depravity!
Iâm too jealous to even think of a reply⊠Iâll just sit here and sob thinking how my life went wrong eating this bag of pigs in blankets flavoured crisps.

Well to be fair I just assumed it was an adult toâŠ
Ive said to much.
i am lost in translation i dont understand, but i have glögi and gingersnaps now.
i am lost in translation, there is only so much i understand
may this be my finnish haiku
My absolute favourite Christmas biscuits are lebkuchen. I have a tin of them in the kitchen and itâs very hard not to go out there and eat one every so often.
Glögi sounds a bit like our mulled wine which smells delicious, but to me hot wine is wrong

that does looks good tho
I agree, Alagondar. My older daughter loves them and tries to persuade me to eat them too ⊠but every time I try, they taste gross.

Out on a delivery today, a farm in GlenEsk. Some pics I took at the bottom of the glen beside a very young, very icy and very very cold River North Esk which only a month ago was a raging torrent and as far as I could drive up it before I ran out of road at the farm, the mountains rose about another 800 feet.
Halfway to the farm, about 500 feet up from the river
Bridge leading to the farm after driving down a very steep and windy brae road, my van just made it through this narrow bridge.
I love my job seeing stuff like this, it reminds me of growing up and visiting my gran and grand dad and uncles who lived in Forfar and GlenIsla. Which of course means that because I know the area better than I know Dundee⊠Guess who gets sent here in the winter when the roads are bad.
