KB just chased 'em into the washy machine!:washingmachine::washingline:

I do too!

Good man - saved the day !

[cainaries]

There are a lot of very dark things lurking in that washing machine, Suej. I think peeps just put their dirty undies in there and wait for a kind person to fill it with soap and turn it on. It's sloshing away now, tg.

I don't know anything about Olbas sticks but will put them on my next UK shopping list.

I'll make us all a coffee now.

Miss Monkey I do hope you'll start to feel better soon. Probably the manic temperature changes wot done it.

I just went to the Pueblo to find almost everything shut and shuttered, no Post Office, no banks, just the supermarket and the chemist. I always forget Maundy Thursday is an official holiday here. Very annoying.

[Suej]

you have just made my eyes water at the thought of the olbas oil stick !

Yes I carry one in my bag

Is someone going to remove those socks they are making me sneeze



Nooooooo!!! don't stick in your eyes!!!!!!!!!!:wow:

[Malteser Monkey]

Nooooooo!!! don't stick in your eyes!!!!!!!!!!:wow:

it was the smiley of the nurse that made me think

Maundy Thursday - haven't heard that for a while

Well let's all enjoy the easter break

Mercadona closed here too today!:doh:

The Olbas stick are like the Vick's ones but are much nicer!;)

The Olbas stick are like the Vick's ones but are much nicer!;)

I remember being told years ago that the supermarkets are not allowed by law to close completely on two consecutive days so, logically, Mercadona should be open tomorrow but I wouldn't hold your breath! I think they get round it by opening some obscure supermarket nowhere near anyone and then, if challenged, they can say 'well the one at the end of the world was open' ....

I didn't check but I'm wondering if the petrol stations are even open!

Time for a siesta, I think.

[Malteser Monkey]

Time for a siesta, I think.

you've just got up !!!

[cainaries]

you've just got up !!!

Be fair! I was up in time to go up to the shops and find out they were shut!

[warbey]

Anyone seen My Socks. GFG was using them to strain something with,
so they wernt on My Feet.
Cant find GFG either (again) and I'm going Home on License tomorrow.

Your socks are out on the line, Warbs. Can't imagine what GFG was straining through your socks but even if it's a cure for Monkey's cough I doubt anyone is going to go anywhere near it.

Don't forget to check in daily whilst you are home on licence otherwise more unkind things might be written on here.

Holloa ... GFG .... anyone there?

[Santiago]

Sorry everyone, have been a bit tied up for a few days - well one has to have a fetish or two, doesn't one? Easter Monday I'll do a salmon and king prawn salad or else a choice of honey roast ham or cheddar cheese if you don't like fishy dishes. Also just for cainaries, I'll make a super banana custard with Cornish cream and/or ice cream followed by iced barraquitos.

Now, for those of you suffering with colds, etc., here is the recipe for:

Auntie Santi’s Cold Cure

Two parts water, one part red wine, one part whisky (or brandy), big spoonful of lemon juice, big spoonful of honey (the runny sort). Heat all slowly until starting to bubble. Add cinnamon to taste (or use a cinnamon stick), then allow to simmer for about five to ten minutes while breathing in the exotic aroma. While still hot, pour into a mug or basin, or bucket depending on how much you have made, and sip slowly – preferably in or next to a nice warm comfy bed. It’s a bit like a Scottish Hot Toddy but uses wine as well. Sugar or more honey can be added if not sweet enough and you can alter all or any of the quantities of the ingredients depending on your personal taste! If it doesn’t cure you at least you’ll have had fun trying!!

Flippin' 'eck, Monkey, they're still outside on the line! Must be another horror lurking. What about this Satellite guy - is he going to arrange lots of free Brit-tv for us down here in the Dungeon? Is he wearing socks?

[Malteser Monkey]

He's a bit of a dish though isn't he.........................get it :D:doh:

Best I could come up with under the circumstances - not a full signal at the mo

how's it over there today

Very good, Monkey! Rocketing up in your estimation, is he?

Bit cloudy at the moment, hun. I'm wearing that old lady's favourite - a cardi.

[cainaries]

have a drink on me
FREETV http://www.classicwines.com/videos

That's a brave offer down here! You'll get knocked over in the rush.

Oooh Norty Monkey! you're giving out the wrong signals!!! :devil2:

[Zara]

Hope someone thought to get a case of wine in and make a cake for old Warbs. Oh and have the fire extinguisher close to hand just to be on the safe side. A few bob could also be saved on the electricity with the glow from those candles. :crylaughing:

Have a great day Warbey :party2:

[cainaries]

Warbey should have shouted loud and early then Zara as I for one didn't know it was a Significant Day today. He'll have to make do with the rest of the Easter chocolate and wait for Suej to come down with the keys later on.

Happy Birthday, Warbey?

[Suej]

Ah!!!! now we know why he changed his socks!!! Monkey will be very pleased!:laugh:

My Aero Mint Bubbles Easter egg is still intact and in the fridge if you want to make a start Cainaries!:yum:

A strange thing because I thought I liked all chocolate but Aero Mint .... amazingly doesn't appeal so it's safe from me, Suej, but you've told everyone all about it now so I can't imagine it's safe for long.

Should we buy Warbey some socks for his birthday? I do so love imaginative presents.

How about Maltesers? (no that's for Monkey) Smarties? Lets not bother with socks only another pair to wash!rolleyes2:

Yes, I've got a load of washing waiting to dry as it is. Hadn't bargained on a wet Bank Holiday weekend. I think a big chocolate Easter Bunny might be a plan. And a nice bottle of red for later (don't want anyone to get a migraine).

[warbey]

:DCareful with those Candles Ladies, nearly set fire to my Beard.:D


I bought a job lot of 100, so still have 16 left for NEXT Year.

YES ! with his name on then we know where the smell comes from:laugh:

well Happy Birthday from me Mate ! I thought I could smell the burning from here :raspberry:

[Santiago]

Hey, warbs, Many Happies and I hope you have had a good day! I was going to knit you some socks, but could only find some bright pink fuzzy-wuzzy wool and, unfortunately, it makes your skin itch so I decided against it!

:fireworks: :superstar: :fireworks:

[cainaries]

Very Happy Birthday, Warbey. Really hope it is a good one. And the next round just might be on you ... and mine, as usual, is a large white. Cheers.

[Malteser Monkey]

Make sure it's a very generously-proportioned cake, Monkey. There are more people lurking in this Dungeon than we all imagine.

That will cure it, with a Red or two to chase it from inside..

Kettle on for tea, Monkey. I have a nice cake today - I didn't make it! My Spanish teacher gave me a large piece of bizcochon (?) she had made. I am just stuffing my face with it as I type.

Just off out to stock up for the w/e.

Rang a friend in London yesterday afternoon and she could hardly concentrate on the call as there was the most awful thunderstorm. What's with this drought then?

Every now and then I wish I was back in my little house in Kingston. But, may be not today having looked at the map. A red blob right over my roof, I think.

Kettle's on, Monkey. Coffee coming up.

Coffee for me please - black no sugar. No rain here at the moment although we had a little shower about half an hour ago. Have had washing out all morning and brought it in just after lunch and gave it a ten minute burst in the crumple dryer! It's all folded and been put away, Monkey, so that you can iron it!!!!!!!!! hee hee hee :whistle:

[Malteser Monkey]

No time hun - Warbs'll do it when he gets in - bout time we had a bloke do some of the chores !

Poor you! Nothing strong until after 6 is the rule in this house otherwise it would be a total disaster area. I'll bring you a barraquito around 6 then or would you prefer something unadulterated with condensed milk?

That's hanging on, isn't it. Poor you. Lots of Vit C and zinc. Oh and sun (ha ha - sorry). Good here. Got friends coming for the weekend so our kitchen is a bit like Masterchef - but much more tense.

Is it all finished now - your kitchen ?

[cainaries]

Is it all finished now - your kitchen ?

Funny you should ask that! Yes, got finished about a year ago (mas o menos) but just after Christmas the oven stopped working. It is now sitting under our dining room table waiting for the tecnico. Thinking of all the unemployed around if there is anyone who is qualified to instal and repair electrico-domesticos they'd get a very warm welcome here! The tecnico is renowned for never answering his phone and never coming but he is the appointed agent for Teka so we're marginally stuffed.

Our friends haven't even arrived yet and I'm already exhausted. I don't do socialising except on the Forum. :laugh:

[warbey]

If You took said Oven to technico..?
Would You ever get it back..

Cant do Ironing.. Too busy running around with Election Leaflets

at present.

Did the Technico fix the Press.?

Good red this Suej. I need a bigger glass...........:laugh:

[Santiago]

Don't worry about the ironing, I'll pop in and do it tomorrow morning. I usually hate ironing but just feel like doing something where I don't have to rush around all the time. A nice barraquito sometime during the morning would be appreciated!!

It'll go nicely with some local red wine, Suej. So don't forget to open up on time later.

[Malteser Monkey]

Blimey I was going to look on line to see if I could find any other recipies to see if I could try a new one

I just fry crushed garlic, onions, green peppers (chopped) different herbs say parsley thyme etc, in quite a bit of oil, then add the braising steak, carrots and green beans, tin of chopped tomatoes (lge) and beef stock and white wine. Let it simmer for however long you like until the meat is cooked. I try to work out when to add the chopped potatoes so that they don't fall apart. Cyprus potatoes are great coz the don't break up. Sometimes I put chickpeas in

I actually use my pressure cooker to give it a head start.

I welcome any variations please - I have never had a duff one yet and OH loves it. All mopped up with crusty rolls.

If I have forgotten anything will come back to you later on as I'm doing it !

ooops rock salt and freshly ground pepper to taste !

[warbey]

I do a variation of that with a Ham Shank.....Tasty too

No white wine though Ive often wondered about adding Stout instead.

Local Government Elections in U.K. Cainaries.., remember those.?

M.M. I was at a Meeting Friday at the Hotel next to Glan Clwyd Hozzie

No Lemon drizzle though.!

Thanks Monkey! Mmmmm sounds lovely! I'll start it all in a pan then put the lot in the slow cooker that will make the meat nice and tender and bring out all the juices! I've done potatoes in the slow cooker and they don't seem to fall apart so will put the whole lot in together! :thanx:

I'm also OCD about hygiene in the Kitchen can't be without my dettox spray and antibac hand soap! :wink:

[cainaries]

So, is it round to your place tonight then, Suej? That portion Monkey left in the fridge was delicious but very small - more like a taster.

I'll go and have a bit of a clear up in the kitchen to earn my dinner!

[warbey]

Sounds even better with Lime M.M. Any left cos Ive finished Mine..

I found some Rolls but they were stale. Maybe O.\K. for Toast?

I dont know Who has tried them but Swordfish Steaks are delicious.. Same consistency as Pork Chops.

A few roasties and green beans, maybe some Aho to taste.?

[cainaries]

I don't know how many Dungeoneers follow the illegal lettings thread but I would just like to post a 'thank you' to whichever Mod it was who went in there today and removed a whole load of irrelevant rubbish. How should I thank such a Mod - on the thread itself, do you think? If you don't know what I'm talking about just be grateful and pour yourself (and me) another glass of whatever you're having.

Belated Happy returns Monkey. Sorry I missed the Day, rather busy.

On a good note Car had 12 Month service and passed the Test, no trouble/s

I do hope the Chest Infection has cleared up.

I see ... just to him!?

Joining in a bit late today ... A Ford Anglia if I'm not mistaken, Suej? My mum's first car ... and I am REALLY old, as we all know.

My first car was a Morris Minor 1000 which I called Tracy. The insurance cost more than the car.:mad:

[cressrt]

Austin A40 Farina, a freebie from my Brother in laws Uncle, a good car that I kept going for about at least 3 years.
I also took my test in Wood Green! but passed 2nd time, first failure was not giving way at a minor cross road.

[Malteser Monkey]

Welcome Cressrt !

Wow Wood Green - it's getting a real Norf Lundun fing down here !

was anyone on the cross road at the time ??:eyebrows:

[Suej]

Here's mine - Hillman Avenger ahhhh

They look so similar

And Southgate for me passed first time too!

I put Southgate as my first choice but unfortunately I got my second choice of Wood Green which at the time had a low success rate! Still remember that day as clear as a bell! I really liked the Avenger at the time, but ended up with a Mini as my first car!

Noooo, I've been busy! Went for my Spanish lesson, for example. But that did wear me out rather. ....

Anyhow, is the bar open yet, Suej? Should be by now!

[cressrt]

It was a cross of roads in and around houses, cars on every corner, but no people. I was told that I should have changed down gear rather than just slow down as I did. A bit harsh I thought!

I am the male half of us and lived at the time in Bounds Green and had gone to Wood Green School when I as younger so knew the roads I was driving on.

[warbey]

Takes me back this talk of old cars

I used to be dragged out of a warm bed to swing the flamin Starting Handle for my Dad

Amongst them were a Wolseley 14 Austin 13 and 16.

Happy Days....NOT

A starting handle! Even more antiquated than a choke! I had my Morris 1000 in North Wales and had driven it through deep snow to a party somewhere in darkest deepest Carnarvonshire. When we all staggered out I persuaded my German boyfriend to start my car with the starting handle. There were quite a few Germans at this party and one of them had an ancient Merc which refused to start. He wanted to borrow my starting handle for his Merc. He'd never seen one but he assumed they fitted all cars. Hah! Those were the days, my friend ..... ah, those were the days. All together now ....

[warbey]

When I was growing up, Buses used to go round with round Holes in the Back, uinder the level of the platform.

I used to wonder what purpose they served until I realised Parking closely in the Depot meant hitting the starting Handle

of the Bus behind.

More useless knowledge eh?

I decided to do some cooking only to find I haven't got all the ingredients for anything I feel like making. So I think you are almost right and I might go back to bed. :zzz: I'll make you a cuppa before I go.

Of course, sin problema. It's not supposed to have dates in it! My friend, raingod Jaquie, arrived tonight and she likes it with dates so I made it with dates. Does make us smile the way she brings the rain. She doesn't really realise that she does it but she did it in spades today.

[warbey]

Self and O.H. Deli8vered nearly 800 Leaflets since noom Yesterday re the Election.

I dont have trouble sleeping................lol

My invalid chair needs recharging though.

Have another M.M. Suej left plenty and Santiago is nowhere to be seen.

[Santiago]

Santiago is lapping up the sun on the Reef, with her caracola iced bun and a barraquito, courtesy of her very nice Tubby Hubby who is treating her to a special birthday present because he says she is so old that she may not be able to make it many more years - but he has a surprise coming as she is taking the special pills to keep her young!!

PS. What happened to all the red? I couldn't find any when I looked yesterday and had to go and buy a bottle!!!

By the way, Suej was right about the cold, we don't usually come in April/May, but its colder than it was last November/December, especially at night!!

OH is just pouring you out a huge jug of red, Santiago. Does your TH drink red as well? Just so we know for planning and catering purposes. What a lovely birthday surprise for you! Many happies and all that.

I don't know about Tenerife (especially not darn sarf) but May and June here are often, um, actually, quite chilly. It is quite often colder here in June than it is in Engerland. But we never tell anyone that. Sssh. Lots of red here, re-stocked late last night. just a question of finding where we've put it (in the garage ... ssh again).

[Malteser Monkey]

what election

only to decide who is going to be in charge of the red - SueJ too busy with visitors these days !

and Santi what about the Camp - Who is doing the washing ?

C don't you have curtains in La Palma ? I even have blackouts behind my curtains ! (mind you that could be the wine ):spin:

[Santiago]

Thanks for the red, cainaries, much needed after a strenuous day sunning myself! TH doesn't drink red often, thanks, he is a "half of lager and I'm anybodys" type.

Gotta be Boris, hasn't it - he's so much prettier than Ken! Don't fancy Ulrika myself, but I expect TH would be interested!!

Back to work tomorrow as have people arriving. Good job they're regulars and can help themselves as our flight doesn't get in till late afternoon and it will probably take us a couple of hours to get from Bristol to home.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, cainaries, have a few days to go until THE DAY, but couldn't fit in a week on the Reef at any other time!

I shall be doing the washing MM, I can fit in some for you on Saturday if you have it ready!!!!!!:washing:

Glad you found some sun, Santiago, as weather over here has been very mixed. Tonight at about 7 it was boiling hot and I've just nipped out with the dog and it's freezing (well, not literally). You're welcome to the red. We've probably got a San Mig or a Tropical for your TH if he can bear those.

Good luck with your guests. Straight back to work, eh?

Afternoon, Monkey, I'll pop the kettle on for a cuppa in a minute as it's a smidge too early for a vino (6 is the hour in this house). TH is Santiago's OH. According to her. If you can be a**ed to scroll up a few threads, you will find the answer to your questions.

Just read in the paper that they have had to scrap The Great British Asparagus Festival as the Asparagus has drowned in the floods. Wettest drought on record ... I know, I know.

[warbey]

Got any Red left Monkey?.
I cant find any to drown My sorrows from the "Counting House".
Someone said Santiago drunk it all, but I think T.H. has sampled some too,
cos there is no San Miggy left either.

Good job I like the One Euro, stuff too, to help keep out the (welsh) cold.

OMG Nooooooooooooooo! that's just not on!:wall:

[cainaries]

Get some barrels of red out, Suej, looks like a few could drown their sorrows tonight!

[Santiago]

MM, TH is the Tubby Hubby in case you missed the info before. He's really very sweet and has just treated me to a week on the "Reef" for a rather high numbered birthday later this month.

We have only been out there in April/May on one previous occasion as we usually go out in November/December, and we found it quite difficult to cope with the extra daylight hours as we were used to it being dark by 6.30pm at the latest! We kept missing the 6pm drinks round because it seemed like mid-afternoon to us. However, I do agree with cainaries that it is very cold in the evening and at night out there at the moment. I was glad cousin Maud had thought to put some blankets in the cupboard so we could curl up in those - and I even wore my socks to bed a couple of times because it was so cold! However, the days were nice and hot and sunny!!

Now it's back to medium cold Cornwall, 10C at the moment, and it doesn't seem as if there is going to be much sun to cheer us up over this bank holiday weekend. Thanks for the red, I'm going to save it till tomorrow as I can barely keep my eyes open!:sleeping:

[cainaries]

Socks in bed, Santiago? Just nothing like it, is there?:D
Suej knows all about this, I seem to remember.

Sleep well and hope the Bank Holiday weekend isn't too wet.

[Suej]

Get some barrels of red out, Suej, looks like a few could drown their sorrows tonight!

I'm going to need more housekeeping money I'm afraid! I just cannot manage on what you give me to stock up the cellar! so it's cut down or pay up!:wink2:

Is the "sin" in "sin alcohol" the Spanish sin or the English sin? I am quite happy to sin with some alcohol, but don't think I want to try a without alcohol day/week/month! I have already given up smoking and have opted for obesity instead, now, if you take away my calorie laden treat, I shall end up all anorexic. Never mind, the sun shone all day today and I have my nice warm socks for tonight, so perhaps I won't miss the odd glass of red!! I am saving up my Euro's in my piggy and will make a donation as soon as the amount reaches more than the coat of postage to get it to you Suej!!

I have quite a language barrier with the doctors here, too, but our practice nurse is German so she speaks to me v.e.r.y. s.l.o.w.l.y in Spanish and we communicate quite well, so well in fact that she sometimes comes into the GP with me to 'translate' his/her Spanish into s.l.o.w. German-Spanish. No requirement on La Palma to take a 'translator' with you to the Health Centre, btw, before someone jumps down my throat.

Haven't even had a lunch-time G&T as our neighbours brought our lunch round before we'd had time to slice the lime. Something called papas rellenadas??? I ate mine but OH decided he'd sooner have leftovers from our fridge. They were boiled potatoes stuffed with something that tasted a bit like a sausage roll - very nice in fact!:yum::yum:

This Language thing can be rewarding in many ways.

We were camping in Barmouth (Wales). I had two good Friends who were French.

I was the only one who could understand enough to communicate

after Their Car conked out.

I never discovered why they were all closed up in Their Tent by Seven each night though.:cheeky:

Why did you give me a 'red' card, Warbey? Just because it was 'rouge'?

[Malteser Monkey]

Ah, now I understand your post on the other thread! No, not been to church or chapel (do they serve wine in chapel?). Haven't even had a lunch-time G&T as our neighbours brought our lunch round before we'd had time to slice the lime. Something called papas rellenadas??? I ate mine but OH decided he'd sooner have leftovers from our fridge. They were boiled potatoes stuffed with something that tasted a bit like a sausage roll - very nice in fact!:yum::yum:

Papas rellenadas are nice - had them a few times - they can be stuffed with various things.

How about this weekend, Warbey? Weather permitting. Would be okay here as long as everyone 'wrapped up warm'. Found a new butcher so could get some lovely entrecote steaks in. Let us know. Is Santi cooking?

I'll bring Sausages. All sizes. Santi could arrange the menu, and perhaps cream tarts for afters.?

We'll be there BBQ sauce n all


Buns ! don't forget the buns!

[Santiago]

Yep, I'll be cooking and I'll see if I can find some tarts to cream! I like the thought of sausages - perhaps rolled in bacon and served with the entrecote steaks and with croutons? Nice crispy croutons make a real change from chips or any fried potatoes and you can eat as many or as few as you like. lots of salady things as well for the slimmers! This will make up for being back home again although we have had a sunny weekend up until late afternoon today. All the washing is in MM, folded and put away as instructed!!!!:cheeky:

I am going to be pickling a lot this week (yes, including me .. ha ha ....) so I'll bring those along to spice things up a little ...

Oh, yes! And is there any chutney as well?

[warbey]

I knew Santi would come up trumps (again).

I like savoury food now rather than puddings/cream/ice cream etc of My younger days.

Can ASnyone source some not too salty Gammon Steaks too.?

[cainaries]

onions - with cheese hmm

Can't find those little onions, Monkey, pity as I love them.


Oh, yes! And is there any chutney as well?

Yes, made with loquats which are everywhere here. Left to rot on trees and on the ground. Just go and ask, I do.

I like all food, Warbey, that's my problem so banana ice-cream and also vanilla will be on offer.

Off for my dinnah now. Cheers.

Have some really nice smoked bacon steaks all ready for cooking, warbs, really thick but not salty. A nice fresh egg on top goes down a treat too!

Oooh yes, cainaries, I like the sound of the loquat chutney and the banana ice cream will undoubtedly be superb. Looks like we have a feast!

The steaks will be perfect6 on a good dollop of mashed potato.(not the frozen stuff though).

I will have the Ice Cream with some roasted almonds scattered on top.......yummy..

A glass or two of red to follow will go down well too. One or two cooled bottles of Cava perhaps.?

[Malteser Monkey]

Oh Lord Banana Ice cream

I just love bananas and ice cream at the mo

I'll stick with a glass or 2 of wine - leave the bottles til the weekend !:snore:

Now THAT is a good idea. Well, I've made the banana ice-cream. The vanilla is delicious though I say so myself but I'm not at all sure about the banana. It looks as though it should be in a very small jar with 'baby food 6+ months' written on it. I'm leaving it until tomorrow now.

Sleep well world.

I've just discovered a secret corner of the Dungeon which looks like an empty office. It says DHL/UPS/Fedex Deliveries on the door. There's a large locked storeroom next door to it.

And it's all guarded by Dragons. Welsh ones, if you like, Monkey.

[Malteser Monkey]

oooo are we being invaded by spammer today ?

Sorry, Monkey! There are several threads about getting things delivered by DHL ... or not ... or UPS or not (a situation I know well from my kindle) .. etc. And I suddenly saw an image of a dusty basement in the Dungeon where all these lost packages might be lurking. I'll go and have a lie down now and normal lack of service will be resumed shortly.

I'm here, hun, I'm here! The newly spruced up Forum told me nothing had happened on this thread ...:liar::liar:

All I can tell you is that loquat is 'nispero' in Spanish (or Canarian) ... does that help? Kind of like a smaller, paler, squashed apricot with far less taste but it makes a nice chutney. Never seen them in the UK. In fact I learnt the word Nispero first and someone told me they are loquats so may be .. oh dear .. they aren't. Time for :zzz::zzz::zzz:

Acksherly we woz up early today. It's so hot and the only time it's a bit cool as first thing in the morning. We had cheese salad for lunch, Monkey. We nearly always have cheese salad. Saves thinking. With some home-made marrow chutney which turned out surprisingly well. The banana chutney is going to be binned though. I don't have a lot of luck cooking anything with bananas. You on the other hand should be a bit of a specialist (Monkey) ..?
