I recently binge watched the first 2 series of The Vikings on a rainy weekend. It's not historically perfect, but it's pretty close. Certainly not for the squeamish (I walked away after one particular episode and nearly gave up) And if binge watching includes watching the first 3 episodes of Outlander about 10 times each, then i'll also include the delicious new Outlander series. I've read all 8 books by Diana Gabaldon, which is the story the tv show is based on. Absolutely loved all the books and am thoroughly enjoying the series too.

Hope the hangover was worth it and you had a seriously good night :zzz: Dinner tonight ..... Traditional English roast beef dinner, with soggy peas and yorkshire puds. As much as I love and usually eat various cuisines from around the world, I occasionally get back to my birth roots and love a good home cooked roast.

I wasn't having a go at you or being nasty, hence the winking smiley. All is good I guess us silly, worrying parents are just that .... worrying.

I travelled to the US and then over to England and the scariest part for me, was the customs officials at LA airport.

As one of three parents on this forum, whose daughters are travelling overseas .......... Shush! We don't need to hear our fears reinforced.

I've never heard of her, so I looked her up ..... Wish I hadn't.

My daughter (Veghead) is flying out next week for 6 months of trekking around various remote areas of Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal and India. I know this will be an amazing adventure for her, but I will be so worried and scared. Why can't she choose a nice safe touristy area, instead of tribal villages accessible only by canoe ...... aarrgghhhhhh. When she boards that plane at Sydney airport, my post will be in the 'Unhappy' thread. I hope your daughter has a wonderful safe time in the States and an incredible experience at Disney.

Happy Birthday Sean! I hope your day was filled with happiness and spent with people you love, lots of good food and great wine .......

Not quite as bad, but yeah, you get the idea. All good now though

I don't want to talk about it, but it's sure gurgling noisily away in my tummy. Meanwhile, i'm waiting for what I think will be the inevitable

I never had any personal contact with pottedplant, but I know members here, who I have great respect for, hold this lovely lady in high esteem. I'm shocked and very sad that one of 'Our Family' has passed away. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

We have donuts here, but nothing elaborate, nor anywhere as much as you have in the States. We eat them more as a little snack mid afternoon and never for breakfast. When I was in America a few years ago, I did have a weakness for Cinnabon's cinnamon rolls. Actually it turned into more of an addiction

Cold, and icy winds

Whoooaaaaa! Do you actually eat that? or is that your substitution for colonoscopy medication?

My love and best wishes to you both, Mr and Mrs Puffer ..... xxxxxx
