Now that is scary, I think I will stick with the gruel thanks.
Yes, I think DM meant dry as in parched. We don't have dry towns here that I know off. Except in the welshish part of Wales on a Sunday, even then it is not really dry - just the pubs don't open on a Sunday.
Oh great DM, things are looking up, I could do with an assistant like that. Is he any good at sweeping up eraser shavings?

Thanks for the good wishes from the other side of the great pond! I decided to check in at AQ before starting the great cooking and cleaning extravaganza and it's nice that folks are still checking in. Of course, it gives me an excellent incentive for procrastination.... ;-)
Have a lovely evening over in the UK, and Happy Thanksgiving to all here in the US!
Okay -- must....go.....cook....now!

Thank you Webby (if I may be familiar)
Only two hours to go and I'll be heading home. As you can tell it has been a very quiet day - hence the number of posts :-)

A letterboxer after my own heart :-) Though lately I find it better to letterbox before I eat. Once I have eaten, napping tends to take over.

Didn't you ever see Charles Dickens 'Oliver'?
Mostly water, with a few oats or bread sops thrown in if you are lucky, dolled out by the half spoonful.
But don't worry about me Dixie. I did very well. Diltian Martian came along with a few curled up sandwiches, and we had a good time in the corner :-D, inspite of Mama Fox trying to give us food poisoning :-(

gruel would be a very thin oatmeal...like when the kettle slips and you get twice the water in your instant. or cream of wheat, any hot cereal, but thinner...watered down on purpose to make it stretch further.
means you're poor...or in their context, poor-little-picked-on-me...because we get an extra feast. and people wonder why so many americans have such Reubenesque figures.

Yes but we had a feast on Bonfire Night, just a different type and I can match a Reubenesque figure any day unfortunately.
I must say you have all been quite chatty today. I thought I would be talking to myself.

yeah, but we're not at work, and we have to have something to do other than watch football while we wait for the bird to hatch.

ME??? No, no, never!!! I even suggested microwaving the sandwiches - wouldn't that remove any evil bugs?? It was DM's assistant, thinking if DM is out of work, he can have a holiday...... ;-))
Mama Fox - printing clues to go boxing tomorrow - woo hoo!!!
