There are few satisfactions as subtle as removing the poop-chutes from prawns in one fell swoop of intact poop-chutery.  Some people don’t bother with prawn poop-chute removal, but I’m an anti-poop-chute stickler. It can be finicky work, finicky but with a permeating sense of quiet accomplishment (and this adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the

There is nothing (well almost) nothing sadder than eating your last black berry without knowing it and then looking down to see them all gone :-(

Swing by in late summer, I have blackberry bushes in the backyard. You may have to race the Bucket for them though, he likes to eat them right off the bush.

Buying Blackberries is like chopping wood for winter. Prepare what you think you need, then double it.

Bucket eats blackberries? He's a dog with good taste! I didn't think dogs would go for berries!

Haha I will take your blackberry advice to heart and follow it to the letter :D

What a rubbish week! Hope that this one is much better - surely you don't have to do proper work in the last week of term??

[newmistakes]

The last week does slack off a bit but it becomes more social so in some regards I'd prefer proper work :P Hi Vickster! I hope you had a good Chrissy and thank you for my present - I particularly enjoyed the chocolate coins mmmm!

I read this as eating all your blackberries will create a pimple in your nostril. INSIDE the nostril no less.

I know a Beryl. Incredible, I know.

You know a Beryl?? Is she over 100? I can't imagine a Beryl under 100!

You'll be pleased to know my nostril pimple is long gone (but sadly so are all my blackberries :P). And Imoh, thank you so much for your groovy gift - I loved it and PURPLE haha :D

She is!!! I think she's close to retiring age though, and has grandkids, which I think is very suitable, beryls should have grandkids.

haha glad your nostrils are behaving themselves, even if the blackberries are all eaten.

Oh oh oh so glad you like it! I was thinking across a window or something. You'll have to put up a piccie of it when it's hanging up :-)

We got your pressies. SOAPS!!!! We all love pretty, scented soaps. Mmmm. Always have some nice stuff in the bathroom and kitchen sinks mmmmm!

And the pencilcase is great! At the moment it's a bit of protection for my e-reader but when I get the proper leather case for it, (ordered, just waiting on it) the Little Ones are going to use it for their coloured pencils, as our usual one is bursting at the seams.

Thankyou!

Band aids are annoying too because they always seem to peak out of the shoe!

I hope you've found some blackberries by now and been enjoying their scrumptiliciousness :D

I got that a bit wrong, Sara. It was actually spray on deodorant haha - I remembered later that the lady said you got blisters because of sweat and friction so if you sprayed deodorant on the heel then no blisters. I haven't tried it though, with either hairspray or deodorant :P

I hope you've had a spectacular Christmas season and happy new year!!
