A thyme is a fragrant, aromatic Mediterranean herb from the mint family.

No need to call me a faggot.  🥹😬

🎼 la la la...altogether now....la la la

Just an update and good news.  We are very happy and relieved that our cat who was quite ill is now, following regular use of a medicine supplied by our vet, almost back to normal.  We visited the vet again today for the usual annual booster injections of both cats, and the cat which was ill had a blood test.  We are very pleased that her blood-glucose level is actually now back to normal levels.  Bearing in mind that we would have needed to give her daily injections of insulin, she now needs only the daily oral medication which she has been having, though this will be for life.

As an insulin-dependent diabetic myself, I wish that I could manage with oral medication only!

Oh to have such a special car.



Three goes at the opening scene and each one is unusable.

Run out of allowance now. Expect the finished version some time in the next decade.

Restaurant was very nice today. but I was hard pushed to find anything on the menu     

"Roasted butternut squash and pumpkin soup, sage gnocchi (v) 7.95

Tandoori king prawns, mint yoghurt, mango, cucumber and coriander salad (gf) 8.95

Beef, bacon, stout and thyme faggot, parsnip purée, horseradish crumb (gf)

What on earth is a thyme faggot ?

let's hope not the rest though...

QuoteNo hot water here    but the heating is working.  The plumber is coming Monday, MONDAY !  but I guess I'm lucky it's not a week on Monday
