*^%*^#!!!!!

The critters have been at my basil! Humph!!!!

Which, of course, is all just a pretence to use my new word of the day: bangorrhea.

Although the little blighters (which blip has just tried to auto correct to blog haters) did almost put paid to my recipe this evening. I'm not often let near the stove for savoury stuff. Tonight though I was awarded the dubious honour by dint of K's back spasm. As extra reward I got to do the washing up that had been stockpiling too.

I may be speaking a little prematurely but no ill effects have been reported. Indeed it was pronounced lovely. I may have to try less hard next time. I wouldn't want to get the job permanently ;-).

Sorry Elmore Leonard, I could only avoid the exclamation mark by using a smiley. Bottom of the class.
