What are you all up to

Hmmm,  the Marshmallow Laser Feast perhaps Brue ~~ some journey  !!

Last night we joined in a Virtual Bingo night - organised by the Westmorland Show Society. It was a bit strange, being held on Zoom with the caller in an empty office room. I’ve never played Bingo since it was Housey Housey at family parties, and it took a while for my eyes to get tuned in. 

My husband, as President, had to judge the best decorated glass (cocktail or otherwise). I don’t think he offended anyone. It was all in aid of RABI and raised nearly £1200. 

We won a raffle prize - a barbecue! But until such time as we can collect don’t know anything about it. It might be a pack of sausages. Or a state of the art posh gas one.

And more excitement today - we went into town to collect our new glasses. Varivocals again, and so far much better than the outdated previous ones.

That's a decent contribution to RABI funds, Goldie, especially as it was  done on line & nobody had the chance to do serious Arm Twisting  ! Even the thought of a Prize pack of Cumbrian Spiced Sausages is nothing to be sneezed at 

Perhaps one of those giant Cumberland sauages?!

We had one of those from our daughter's partner after he'd been up to visit his family, OH had to spend a long time rewinding it into manageable portions. 

Sounds like it all went well Goldie, nice idea.

Giant Sausages Brue  ??   I suppose I could get one of those large surveyors tape measures and replace the tape with the sausage and wind out a bite size chunk at a time  

Yes...just a bit smaller than this maybe?! 

The sausage skin filler must have had Olympic training to fill that thing, brue, I've never seen one like that and dread the thought of the bacon to go with it 

We have been woken up in the early hours most days this last week with "boiling" water in our garden pond ,and have counted an "army "of 15 frogs and now have as  today 7splodges of frog spawn

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit  !!     That's the noise made, allegedly, only by some breed of American west coast frog which is used in loads of film sound tracks from there to eternity, but is not the sound you should be hearing JVB, unless you are running some form of international amphibian sanctuary. 

Incidentally, the BBC Local News  is warning folks in Cumbria to be aware of the Annual Frog, Toad and Newt mating migration taking place now.  So always carry a nice gentle bucket to pop 'em into in order to help them find their way to remote puddles, pond and pools chasing after their Fancies 

Well JVB you either have exceptional frogs, a pond below your open window or are very light sleepers 🤣🤣🤣.

We have never heard anything when outdoors, let alone indoors. We did have a David Attenborough moment when returning to our bungalow on a nature reserve on a Thai island on a few evenings but even that wasn't that audible a few yards from the water.
