Yeah but you wouldn't eat one would you.

I might. Sauteed with a bit of garlic

Morning all, bit grey but the sky is brightening up a bit. Exchanged cards with my lovely friend yesterday and was touched to receive one “For my Wonderful Friend with love at Christmas” not only does she have great taste in her choice of friends but also cards - it was exactly the same as the one I gave her. lol
Happy Birthday to Mrs Blue @blue1948, enjoy your last day shopping in Cologne @Val P there’s a mustard museum in Norwich too, it always reminds me of my Nan who had an enormous tin of Colmans dried mustard. She would mix a tiny amount in a little pot when required, lasted her for years.
Have a good day, all.

How's the job going @Vegas Toffee Girl? Still loving it? I'm fully settled nto my new role and I have to say the days fly over.
Tonight's tea is woolly mammoth with cashew nuts and yellow bean sauce. Took forever to thaw out!

My hub had a traditional German meal - pigs knuckle tbh it looked like it came off a woolly mammoth - size of it

Apparently I’m not the first member of my family to have been here In Cologne. My sister decided to tell me today that my dad who was sergeant in the RAF, led a team of tradesmen who came over to Germany towards the end of WW2 to salvage damaged aircraft, either fixing, dismantling or scrapping them. I do have quite a few pics he took and I will have another look when I get home to see if I recognise the places. Apparently we didn’t bomb the cathedral- either because we used it as a landmark for navigation, or because of its cultural status, or because the bombs could not be very accurately dropped (depending on what you read). It’s made me feel a bit weird, wanting to be proud of what he did but having read about the devastation here caused by our bombers in retaliation it’s so sad. War is so pointless. I wish he was here to talk about it with me.

That is so touching- that your Dad had been there but you had no idea until today. How often do we end up thinking “If only I had known!” and yes agree wholeheartedly War is pointless.

There are so many coincidences in life

I had pigs knuckle when we played Werder Bremen a few years ago, gorgeous stuff.

Still in one piece after all that Ormskirk has to offer.

Good day out with fellow blues , all good.

Some lovely memories of when we were good.
