Fruit and veg makes them cheerful!<br /><br />Chunder comes from 'watch under', called by seasick convicts on their way to Australia, who were polite enough not to want to vomit on their fellows on the lower decks. No, really, I'm not making it up.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-77459646329412995912007-01-27T08:26:00.000+00:002007-01-27T08:26:00.000+00:00No difficulty with coments, but Blogger has been a...No difficulty with coments, but Blogger has been a real pig this week.<br /><br />My ex-landlord (the Ex's current landlord) has a large vegetable garden abutting the Ex's garden...a veritable feast of vegetables and fruit. The most gorgeous produce I've ever seen. In summer they often give me a basket of fresh stuff. Oh their strawberries! And the courgettes! And the lettuce. I could go on and on. Nothing like homegrown.<br /><br />I also like 'chunder' and shall adopt it henceforth.y.Wendy.yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630727119097764058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-26669303615847299342007-01-26T23:05:00.000+00:002007-01-26T23:05:00.000+00:00By the way, Pi emailed me to say she hasn't been a...By the way, Pi emailed me to say she hasn't been able to post comments - anyone else had any difficulty?Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-5086549374190953532007-01-26T22:14:00.000+00:002007-01-26T22:14:00.000+00:00Oh no, I don't care for 'puke' either.

I'll do her some rice tomorrow with something gently flavoursome. It takes a lot to put her off her food normally.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-20812839144255500672007-01-26T22:07:00.000+00:002007-01-26T22:07:00.000+00:00*chunder* is a great word.

So much nicer than the "puke" I'm trying to wipe from Trixie's vocabulary.<br /><br />When Zephyr has an episode, I fry up some ground beef and mix it with rice. (Seeing as we're vegetarian, this I hope proves our love for the dog)<br /><br />Hope all under the weather humans and canines feel better tomorrow!Imperatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748228447190366632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-51764736629319362702007-01-26T22:02:00.000+00:002007-01-26T22:02:00.000+00:00Poor little Tilly.

You don't want her to get dehydrated and rice is relatively bland on the tummy-the chicken broth/stock adds flavor and liquid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
