I was very sceptical as I have never used a crab stick before. The recipe was :- "<span style="background-color: #f0f2f5; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">One tin of mackerel in sweet chilli sauce or could be tomato sauce, 8 seafood sticks and a good dollup of quark/ fromage frais/cottage cheese. And season to taste. Blitz in a processor or stick blender. Makes a lot! "</span></p><p> </p><p>I gave it a try- and indeed it made quite a lot. We had it as a starter and I had lots left over.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigWVltPWuUGQkJcJngHt7xDnkhPDtayFl6l8rhW_1zLYbMDeJoXkT70OCtuW1_GyBHs-PNg5faInhxJZqb2zAzH0spEImseswv83xk9d58quHM_Ctdakl_-OcNnTuKLD2dfHJ7U3058iLQ4ZkY2v8gqWjaLN62Pango_9IopobtPHUXpNnyFMqa__48mZf/s699/391729791_7296351630388713_4345113987003421973_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="699" data-original-width="526" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigWVltPWuUGQkJcJngHt7xDnkhPDtayFl6l8rhW_1zLYbMDeJoXkT70OCtuW1_GyBHs-PNg5faInhxJZqb2zAzH0spEImseswv83xk9d58quHM_Ctdakl_-OcNnTuKLD2dfHJ7U3058iLQ4ZkY2v8gqWjaLN62Pango_9IopobtPHUXpNnyFMqa__48mZf/s320/391729791_7296351630388713_4345113987003421973_n.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><p><br /></p>I chilled the remainder in the fridge and on Sunday made some scotch eggs with the mixture.<p></p><p>I grilled the scotch eggs as the mixture was cooked.

The company are established customers of ours and we have visited their premises a couple of times when we toured Scotland on our motorbike. It's all very technical stuff and obviously conversations are on another wavelength. One of the main scientists sounds like Adam Clayton - the bass player in the group U2! Now I suppose I am a bit of a fan when it comes to U2 so when Les the scientist starts talking with Jon I close my eyes and imagine it's Adam Clayton as it's the nearest I will ever get to be near him or be in the same room, be it a laboratory!

When the previous neighbours moved out and I saw that the new people had moved in I took a welcome card to give to them. Glyn was on the drive and said that his wife was in the house and I should go and introduce myself, which I did. It turns out Anne and I have known each other from over 20 years ago when I was doing my wedding stationery and Anne had a shop selling fascinators and hats so we would meet up at various networking events and wedding fayres.<p></p><p>It has been great to have good neighbours we had the neighbours from Hell for a couple of years but thank goodness they moved - they lived next door to Anne and Glyn! When Anne and Glyn first moved in and we realised we knew each other I didn't mention the neighbour from hell - a week or so after they moved in Anne invited me for a cuppa. As I walked over the threshold Anne said "Right, tell me about him next door!" Yes within their first few days he had caused problems - but as I said they have moved now no doubt causing problems!</p><p><br /></p><p>Meet Shirley<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAxG1oW8TowsRyCBIjS5AZBIJCd7gD5mh9QOLL9eqKCzDHnZQllvejvl7JCZ2JK-Gmo42hcHywtJchlrL-JDpTBqOexH34RqChfbojP9JsG2A8R3gZ0Owm9hQl_-RK4dI9zkhcCZlsy8d1WOjAhsaRC8KiHNl6UuHBiBI5EJC8e5wIEAtbksu1yBLC9g/s2048/273164335_140428301776016_2615773260105771008_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2018" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAxG1oW8TowsRyCBIjS5AZBIJCd7gD5mh9QOLL9eqKCzDHnZQllvejvl7JCZ2JK-Gmo42hcHywtJchlrL-JDpTBqOexH34RqChfbojP9JsG2A8R3gZ0Owm9hQl_-RK4dI9zkhcCZlsy8d1WOjAhsaRC8KiHNl6UuHBiBI5EJC8e5wIEAtbksu1yBLC9g/s320/273164335_140428301776016_2615773260105771008_n.jpg" width="315" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>I have known Shirley for years - we met at pottery class.

Many years ago I taught her nephew and when Jon was looking for somebody to sweep up at the workshop I suggested Chris. He swept up for Jon for over 5 years and when he applied for college Jon wrote him a reference.<p></p><p>We kept in touch with him long after he left college and often helped out in the workshop or with any projects Jon had on the go even though he was working fulltime. The family never forgot and so when his auntie moved to the area from West Yorkshire she made friends on Facebook and became a regular visitor at the workshop at a time when we were moving premises. Brenda became a great friend and I introduced her to Kitchen Therapy and Walking Footblall, she also loved helping out at the village hall.</p><p>Last year we were going away and she offered to look after our house, in particular to look after the dogs. Brenda not only kept all the dogs happy she hoovered every day and power-washed the patio!</p><p>This photo was taken over Christmas when we went for supper and drinks with Jacky and Keith. Anne and Glyn also went - Brenda is so kind and offered to taxi us all.

I drove this week so Anne and I travelled in together, meeting Jacky and Sharon there. I must admit I am getting "into" zumba as I become more familiar with the moves. Easington is a relatively new class, just a couple of miles away new faces too. Class is an hour with a period set aside for toning. Must admit I ached after last night's session - as did Anne so I am hoping it is doing some good.
Last Friday I went to Walking Football. I hadn't been for quite a while following an injury I sustained during a session. It was quite severe and I had to go to physiotherapy for a few sessions, at my own expense. I had attended the sessions from day 1, encouraging others to go too - I was even instrumental in a bit of match making! (Still going strong and gloriously happy I add too!) As the group has grown and developed the pace of the game has increased as has the speed of the balls etc. I think my confidence and strength has decreased and I am thinking about not going for a while, sticking to zumba instead! Yes there were new faces there but with no proper introductions not many knew me. Let's see.
When I was a Member Pioneer for the Co-op one thing I did learn was the roles we play when doing any community initiative/project. One important role is that of a "connector." We don't have to organise, manage and attend everything that comes along but we can "connect" I look at the people who I connected with and introduced to Walking Football, it now being an important part of their social life and I am happy with the part I played. They have grown and developed over the past year whilst I took time out. Maybes accept and move on Denise?
Tuesday is also Slimming World and that means weigh in. I am 11 weeks into my target and let's just see what the scales say! Looking back at some photos I can see the difference and will continue with the regime! Chilli featured heavily this week due to a culinary incident in the kitchen. The good thing however is Jon is enjoying chilli soup!<div><br /></div><div>Photos below 1993? 1996, 2002, the last one is me last Christmas.<br />

I have bought this for my friend Shirley. I met Shirley at pottery class so it's appropriate for me to sign the book with a personal poem.
When you open up this package Shirley, on Christmas Day.
Think about when we first met it was over a pile of clay!
I was relatively new to pots so I was making the gaffs
You supplied the encouragement we had so many laughs.
Now we are neighbours as well as life long friends
Just shows the benefits of pottery certainly knows no ends.

I decided to write something every day but that idea went out of the window so I am clawing any good intentions back and making a start today. It is 3.30pm and I am going to write for 30 whole minutes!
My life seems to be a series of incidents, the most recent being yesterday in Asda!
I was shopping with my pal Brenda who is taller than me - as most people are. As I was stretching up to look at the clothes the rail came unhinged sending clothes everywhere in the aisle. Ofcourse we were laughing but managed to get the rail sorted and Brenda was able to hang all the clothes back up easily.
This had brought attention to ourselves so we moved on to the gents coat section where I found a jacket for Jon. Yest again the rail system was designed for an average 7 foot shopper and as I scrambled through the small sizes I came across a medium - sending several small ones onto the floor again! Having decided this was perfect for Jon we made our way to the self check out via the vegetable section! Being a brussel sprout type of gal I noticed some rather succulent specimens so I got 2 bags. At the check out we scanned everything and it was here Brenda suggested we have a cuppa. Obsessed as many are with the notion of not buying plastic carrier bags, Brenda came up with the idea of stuffing the sprouts into the jacket pockets - which I did. I made sure I had the receipt as we made our way to the cafe.
We had our tea/soup in Brenda's case and made our way to the exit.
The alarm was so loud it startled both Brenda and myself - so much once again we started laughing. I could see some ex-pupils looking on with interest and an ex-teaching colleague passed, laughing at our situation. Security arrived and ascertained the alarm had gone off because there was a security tag on the jacket which WOULD have been removed at a conventional manned check out, but because we had decided to go to the self check out, the tag had remained on the jacket. The security guy by ths time had the jacket and was unzipping the pockets - can you imagine his face when he came across the sprouts? Thank goodness I had the receipt and I also pointed out that if I was to shop lift it wuld have been for something far more valuable than 2 packets of sprouts - possibly a turnip or some red cabbage! He didn't seem to have my sense of humour but Brenda and I found it hilarious - remember the alarm was still clanging out at this time.
The receipt was sufficient evidence, the tag was removed, the alarm ceased and Brenda and I left the building!

This time however I decided to be more pro-active and started at Slimmingworld back in October/November and have lost 1.5 stone so far, 6 lbs away from my target.
It never ceases to amaze me how creative and inventive some of the recipes are so when waffle making was mentioned a few weeks ago and I saw some of the amazing recipes from members I had to get one.

Pastry is a no no, so when I heard about the SW twist ie pease pudding mixed with a beaten egg I experimented. I used a 425g tin together with 3 beaten eggs to make waffles. I then added some M&S Chunky Steak and believe me it made a great steak bake - so healthy too.
Egg waffles are really easy too - 2 eggs with a generous teaspoon of cottage cheese.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRdEgl1GT58Lwb83BFINMu1qIE_Ti_TqtNn-E_FxyH5-FztkQPzc_Pz1cxgncmRl0skMOECnYboAuDBNEsjLLF7F4tSx4RHz-1ZhMQ5Bk7HtCQPCJY9rgvt8Yi1dmVOTq8bYBiIYx_TR2bh3h-tASZg0UWGJOeMSVotfFvx29ynjXYd6rsgvHfqhbJQg/s4080/IMG_20220805_104051715_BURST003.jpg" style="display: block;

Christmas is a faint memory but one of my favourite presents was from my friend Michelle. It consists of quotations for empowering womwn! I was so humbled to think she thought of me in such a light.
My blogging days ran for many years - an adventure which saw me pass the paths of many other people who also documented every day life. I think it's time to go back to this daily/weekly routine. It's a great way to reflect on what goes on in the amazing world of Mrs Nesbitt!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-87760997160052094772020-11-05T12:12:00.004+00:002020-11-05T12:12:54.928+00:00Lockdown 2<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbCSUNoiGM2AR5hSUY5as0_Ob1c4orLXeTob2sEmW5JqmJ6FlO0AyQk8NZnLzzcbaL5aXz5QghyphenhyphenkU_YduYxwaCpzKdXN8yjdTv3_mVzRqAgZfj8EyYMbMyjXZ16rTff4v96du7_pdWa5fc/s206/123492910_3207199262718894_1914581069450812043_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="206" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbCSUNoiGM2AR5hSUY5as0_Ob1c4orLXeTob2sEmW5JqmJ6FlO0AyQk8NZnLzzcbaL5aXz5QghyphenhyphenkU_YduYxwaCpzKdXN8yjdTv3_mVzRqAgZfj8EyYMbMyjXZ16rTff4v96du7_pdWa5fc/w400-h400/123492910_3207199262718894_1914581069450812043_o.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Here we are, about to go into Lockdown.</p><p>How was it for you?</p><p>We lost a very dear friend to Covid, last Saturday to be exact.

Needed another adjective for accidental!<br />
<span style="color: #14171a; font-family: , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f5f8fa; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We became accidental hen keepers in 1991. It was a result of an accidental encounter with a neighbours hen by our border cillie Tess. To cut a long story short (which I will expand upon at a later date) we found ourselves owners of 2 hens, Madge and Mavis (named after our mums) and a cockerel Maurice (named after my uncle who drove trolley buses and frequently set his trousers on fire when he dropped his fag end in his bid to control the Austin A35. The hen keeping had begun and continued for some years. Careers and business interveened and we had a break from the chickens but in 2009 it rekindled. We were looking after our neighbours hens whilst they were on holiday and as a fee we were told we could eat the eggs. Any hen owner will tell you there is nothing like fresh eggs and once tasted our memories were evoked and we wanted some of the action and the hens were bought. </span></span><br />

I thought the best thing to do was to put the crate inside their new temporary house and open the lid, ensuring the house was secure. The following morning the hens were out of the box so we opened the roof and left them to their own devices. We kept checking on them every hour or so and each time we could see they had gained more confidence as they became more familiar with their new surroundings. It wasn't long before 2 of them found a gap in the fence and made their way to the goose hut where they spent most of the morning. Later this afternoon they had worked out they wanted to be back with the others so we caught them and gently put them back, making sure the gap was sorted</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">.</span><br />

First
on the scene, front of the queue was always Little Eva followed by May. The two
dominent ones were Mabel and Olwyn. When
I would put them in for the night it was Mabel who would sleep in the tree if
given half a chance. They both stretched their necks towards the tree when
going in for the evening and I wonder if they are casing the joint for future
escape plans! Margie and Bev were always the first into the henhouse and seem to
be the most placid.</span></span><span style="background: white;"><br /></span><span style="background: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">We were very happy with the way they are all getting along!
Their favourite snack was to be the elderberries and the wind fallen apples. Seasonal gals.</span></span></span><br />

It's quite a while since I wrote anything on my blog so whilst it is just January 5th I figured out it was not too late to have some organisation of the mayhem I have as my everyday life. Whilst I am organised when I am planning anything when it comes to basic stuff I have to have a list for everything. 2019 then this is what I did.....<br />
January saw me re-elected as Secretary on our village hall committee and Jon re-elected as chair. I also started as Member Pioneer with the Co-op a role which sees me do 16 hours a month linking with local community activities and groups. I get paid for this and the 16 hours is a laugh really but nevertheless it is recognition for the vital role volunteers play in the everyday life of the incredible communities around us.<br />

In February I was also re-elected as Chair for the Friends of Loftus library. I alongside other residents campaigned heavily for the saving of Loftus library and we were successful. Now our role is to ensure we get more footfall in the library by planning regular events and activities. </div>

During the first few months of 2019 we had considerable work donein the house, mainly the snug and large room. We had decided to use the space better by creating a dining room and back room instead of one large room. The building work was completed and the decorator started work on the snug ready for our new settee to be delivered in March.</div>

July was all about Scarecrows with 12 villages groups taking part. A local business Sabic donated £1,000 which enabled us to transform the hall, using a series of canvases to the world of Harry Potter. In future we will be able to hire the hall for Harry Potter themed events so the £1.000 was indeed an investment. The East Cleveland Scarecrow Festival now has its own website - currently being updated but you can find it here.</div>

My last blog post was MONTHS ago. The nights are drawing in and I was thinking of picking up the pieces and boldly going forward with my infrequent ramblings but I've had a change of heart. Yes I am going to continue with my blog but it's going to have a purpose. For years I have wanted to write a book, in fact people have urged me to do so on many occasions - so that's what I am going to do - here. The Amazing adventures of Flossy Flupipe!<br />

EV was 8 weeks old, born on January 16th, the same birthday as Nephew2 Godson Andrew. Bing will be 6 in October, Sadie is approaching 8. EV's grandad is Sadie's dad making Sadie her auntie. We are currently integrating EV into the home and are so pleased with her progress. She is now doing what she has to do outside and is on 3 meals a day. Both Bing and Sadie are doing a fantastic job of showing her the ropes and we are looking forward to taking them out together. EV has another injection in 3 weeks time and it will be a couple of weeks after before we can take her out.

She has a thing about feet and folows us everywhere. Fortunately her collar has a sound about it when she moves so we make sure we don't stand on her.<br />

<br />
This was the normally busy road leaving the village and heading towards Loftus.<br />
The large white mound in the distance was a 10 foot snowdrift.<br />
