Three hours proper sleep in 48 hours
And listening to this on the radio this afternoon
And I hurled into the post night shift/ jet lag blues
There was only one thing for it
Get in the Berlingo
And drive quick sticks towards town
,
Park up at Marks and Spencer's food hall
Buy an emergency scotch egg
( pack f two £ 1.15)
Drive to beach and stop for a moment to enjoy the view
I didn't forget the dogs
( I bought them a pack of 50 cocktail sausages)
12 sausages each dog
Bliss
A treat for one & all x
ReplyDeleteand one dog gassy ride home no doubt lol
ReplyDeleteCan you honestly say that the dogs had 10 each or, did you sneak a little sausage as well John. ?!!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteTen each
Delete2 left over
I finished off the two!
I was about to question your maths but then I read this. x
Deletehahaha....perfect! do the sausages give the dogs the runs? teddy would be a terrible mess if she ate those. that's when fluffy butts are not so cute.
ReplyDeleteyou needed that, hon. and so did the puppies.
ReplyDeleteI love that the beautiful view was greatly improved by a Scotch egg! :)
ReplyDeleteThe scotch egg IS the view
DeleteOh, thank God. Problem solved. Thanks for including the dogs.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Did the scotch egg enjoy the view?
ReplyDeleteThey like as change of scene simone
DeleteYou are very generous with your doggy sausages, ours are lucky to get two each :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are actually VERY nice according to Lovely Hubby added to the bacon in the Aga for his cooked breakfast, they puff up amazingly well and turn into THE most delicious little mini breakfast sausages, even the dogs love them warm.
I think that the Scotch Egg is really well deserved and a with view as well ..... your rewards are coming on earth as well as in heaven ;-)
I want to buried in a large scotch egg coffin btw
DeleteWhen the beach came up, I thought about the dogs. Low and behold, your next sentence was about them.
ReplyDelete10 each? And, I thought my Higgins was spoiled.
Sated with contentment ... (Did you eat both Scotch eggs?)
ReplyDeleteIs the pope catholic?
DeleteGotta like that pope no matter what, imo.
DeleteWhile eating said Scotch egg, did you allow the other one to watch or did you face it toward the beach for a nice refreshing view?
ReplyDeleteYou have to be kind to them before you eat them
DeleteWhat a day ? night ? but how lucky your have a great food court and the beach to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThat is one thing I so miss is living by the ocean. Natures stress relief.
cheers, parsnip
And not one person was on the beach
DeleteHEY! You're on the wrong side of the ro....
ReplyDeleteOoops! Nevermind. My mistake. :)
R36.00+ for basically two fancy boiled eggs in crumbs is ruddy expensive here. Hope they were worth it... :)
ReplyDeleteDani
DeleteYou cannot understand the deep deep DEEP pleasure in a good scotch egg xx
Well, looking at the photos I now THINK I know what a Scotch egg is. Haven't seen any here in California.
ReplyDeleteHow barbaric......
DeleteI am sure you could order one in xxxx
A nibble of something naughty at the beach...how wonderful.x
ReplyDeleteBumper stickers are very popular in the US. I wonder if they have one that says, "I stop 4 Scotch Eggs." Probably not, but I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteDaft as a brush, you are.......in a very nice way of course. x
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love that song "Say Something". It was sung by the contestants Alex and Sierra on the US version of the Xfactor. If you have some time between the sausages and the scotch eggs, have a look at Alex and Sierra singing "Gravity" on youtube. It's another good one.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to experience a Scotch Egg, and I just want to snatch it off your dashboard. And that picture of a dog's nose so close to a sausage is just priceless!
I can not ever come across a recipe or photo of a Scotch Egg and not think of you John. x
ReplyDeleteYou were so sleep-deprived, you were hurtling down the wrong side of the road, drooling in anticipation. (Do you have any idea how that image makes my hair stand on end?)
ReplyDeleteWe drive on the left in walesX
DeleteSilly bear, I was tweaking your beard!
DeleteJohn - I saw this company at a recent food fayre in Worcester and thought of you! You've probably seen 'em before but they do 39 different varieties of scotch egg for your delight and delectation! http://www.handmadescotcheggs.co.uk/ (and a normal unadulterated one too!)
ReplyDeleteEgg heaven......ambrosia
DeleteThey are only just up the road from me :)
DeleteIt's a wild life you lead John Gray! Hope you have a few days off....
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Love it. Sometimes an emergency scotch egg is the only thing that will soothe the nerves, much like emergency chocolate.
ReplyDeletebet that tasted bloody fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLike nectar to the gods
DeleteI'll be only the second one(strange I feel) to comment on this song....LOVE IT! As said, we have 'our version' across the pond.
ReplyDeleteYes it could lead one to 'distraction'.
It's an emotional romp of a song jimbo isn't it?
DeleteIt can take so little to find contentment in the simplest of moments and foods.
ReplyDeleteAs he is looking at me from your sidebar.. What did Albert get?
ReplyDeleteJess...I treat Albert every day with a tiny bit of cheese
DeleteHe adores cheese and often farts merrily when given a piece xxx
12 for each dog?!
ReplyDeleteoh crikes our Bogart (80 pounds of black lab x) is deprived.
They didn't get their morning meal......so it was a treat
DeleteHaha. Your dogs are so spoiled.
ReplyDeleteYou all deserve it, though. Glad you all enjoyed your treats, John. ♥
Twelve sausages per dog? Blimey, spoilt rotten! Glad you didn't try to keep up by downing 12 Scotch eggs.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, we all need a real treat. Time for you to rest
ReplyDeleteI hope you got a proper sleep after all that. Oh, and one of the things i want to do this year is make Scotch eggs. I haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteI once gave Popeye some sausage and the result was gas for the next two days, think we will stick to kibble.
ReplyDeletePoor puppy (that would be you). After a couple of days like that and the beautiful but downer song, I'd need a Scotch egg myself. Well, not really; but I would enjoy a cocktail sausage. 12 sausages per dog, I assume would leave 2 for me.
ReplyDeleteAwwww I would love to give you a hug!!!!!!! but unfortunately bodily contact with other humans repulses me.. so I mentally send my hugsxxxx
ReplyDeleteYou'll never change where scotch eggs are concerned will you. Get a good night's sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteBliss!
