Looks delicious.
Aww thanks your so sweet.
Edit: maybe a bit forward but sweet.
Hello everyone! Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening!
How is everyone? Good I hope?
Had a short, but sweet workday today.
Spend most of the morning, taking school kids on tour of the stables, pens, training area and race track. Even had some of them taking horses back from pen, grooming them and putting harnesses on them.
We where actually planning on take them on a short trip, on the race track, but when there turned almost 60 some children up, we kind of realised there wouldn't be time to give everyone a trip.
Having kids there could be:
1) A nice change on routine2) A mess
3) Both
I am glad to know it was the first.

Yea most the first.
Although we had a few kids who where very afraid of the horses, which is understandable, they are large skittish creatures, but most of them took it all in a stride (both kids and horses ^^).I even got to show them, how trusting some of the horses are, by lying down and hugging a resting mare, out in one of the pens.
Although I made sure to impress upon them, that it was only something they could do, when they had earned the complete trust of the horse, in question.

When I worked at the veterinary hospital we got many horses and cows. I didn't get to see them too often as I worked at the lab, but I'd have liked to work with animals. I got to see the smaller animals amd the day we got an adult eagle was awesome. When I was a kid I watched all the documentaries on TV.
I would find it hard, not to work with animal, now that I've been doing it for 5-6 years. It's kind of therapeutic for me.
As for the TV documentaries, they kind of stuck with me, as it is the only other thing they show in the morning, other then cartoons.
I used to see them after coming from school before the cartoons started.
Now I don't watch TV as I don't have a TV at home. I could as Dalindra has one that we could bring here but we decided not to do it. When we had a TV we always ended seeing the same old boring stuff. Now we just search for series on the internet or think of more interesting things to do. I don't miss the TV.
Don't have a TV in the house either.
Watch the stuff on my desktop, but I still find it a nice way to wake up in the weekends. It kind of burns away the worst of morning Kjeldorn zombie-mode ^^.
My zombie mode comes in the evening. In the weekends when I am at Dal's parents home before lunch time I enter zombie mode when I lay on the sofa with the TV on while watching House repeated episodes xD
I used to have a PS. That's one of the few things I miss about having a TV.
Not a big fan, but still feel sorry for him.
I've been watching the last Dr.Who episode this afternoon. It was pretty good.
I also finished writing another chapter for my Campaign Journal and I'm deciding what to write next.
I'm wondering if it would work if I froze some of my chicken soup. I don't want it sitting in the fridge for too long.
For lunch today, I went out to a local diner that had been operating since 1961. Today was their last day of operation.
My family and I were there almost every Sunday for breakfast before church for the past 18 years, and I'd head down there for lunch a couple of times a month. It's really sad to see it go.
By the time I got there, they were out of a lot of things. My go-to lunch was always a pastrami reuben... but they were out of pastrami, Swiss cheese, and pumpernickel. I got a toased bagel with lox and cream cheese instead.

I got a deep fryer as an anniversary present. Doesn't sound like the most romantic, but I like to cook and he likes to eat, so it works. ;P
Now, to decide what I will try to make first....I'm thinking doughnuts.
Doughnuts are very tasty from a fryer. I'm partial to deep-fried French fries as well(baking just doesn't get the texture right). Fried cauliflower is very good too.
French fries are probably my second choice, yeah. You're right, baked fries are always just a little too mushy. I want to make some pakora too. It's my favorite dish when we go out for Indian food.

Hey, Vid. I meant this.
Edit: The result (still has to bake).
Oh I know *wink wink*

I love getting that kind of presents so I understand you.
I don't have a deep frier as I don't deep fry a lot of things (usually french fries, croquettes, nuggets and similar) so it would be mostly useless at my home, but it's a very practical present.

I've just received a call from my job! After a month with almost no jobs I've been called to start at June the 1st until September the 15th.
I just cannot believe it! I am so happy!
I usually depend on really short contracts so this is so good!!!

It's always sad to see a favorite business close. There have been so many for me. Media Play, CompUSA, Circuit City, National Record Mart, Borders, Radio Shack, and so on.For lunch today, I went out to a local diner that had been operating since 1961. Today was their last day of operation.

This one was especially hard. It was a multi-generational, family-run business, with very low staff turnover. We felt like family there. We knew the owners and all the staff, inclufing the cooks and the dishwasher. Our daughter was a baby when we started eating there regularly, and she's turning 18 in a few weeks. It's where she learned how to behave in a restaurant. It was the kind of place where I could say, "I'll have the regular usual" and they knew what I meant. I hadn't bothered to look at a menu in years...although the owner gave me one as a keepsake.

Hello, how are people of the this pollen choked day?
Not to bad, our area already went through the major pollen swarm this year... oddly, didn't affect me this year... I have no idea why.
There are strange flying things here that look like cotton. I am still trying to find out what kind of plant/tree produces them.
The pollen thing seems to be everywhere.

It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.
Ohh no, your not getting away with playing innocent girl.
*Shakes pinecone girl, just to almost choke from the cloud of pollen she emits*
*Throws pine kernel at him*

I don't know if you have them in Spain, but where I live, you're describing the floating seeds of cottonwood trees.
I don't usually get allergies in the spring, but I get hammered in autumn... first the ragweed pollen from mid-August through September, then it goes away for a while, then I get hit with mold spores from decaying leaves from late October until it starts snowing.
If it comes from a plant or fungus, and is a form of pollen or spore, then I allergic to it.
For some reason it is grasses (may/june to august) and fungal spores (august/september to october), that hit me the hardest.
Pine cone GIRLS don't make much pollen. Jus' sayin'.
Birch boys, now...

Yes that is correct, she would be full of maturing seed cones, not pollen cones...but that wouldn't really work for joke purposes ^^.
Edit: Evil Kjeldorn wouldn't know either way, as he hasn't any ranks in knowledge nature.
Edit edit:
Birch boys, now...
Boys right! they will just blow their loads all over the place...
Generally the whole pollen thing becomes a lot more weird, when the you consider that I'm showing a allergic reaction to plant sperm...
Edit edit edit:
Maybe the pollen she was emitting were fungal spores?
Hey Pine Girl have you been checked for fungus?

Pines are a dioic species, didn't you know? I know because Kileanna spent some wasted years studying Biology and I am just a pinecone duplicate of her.
I'm pretty unsure of the logics behind my own biology, though, as I grew from a pinecone that had been implanted on his feet...

She's A pinecone girl, I don't know what to think
She's a pinecone girl, she's got weird biology.

So I might be slightly tipsy.
Just had a 75cl bottle of La Trappe Quadrupel (Dutch Trappist - It isn't Rochefort but it's still pretty damn good)
So Kile, Cap and whoever else is out there anything interesting happened this evening/day?
*Looks at Tori and Kile repeatedly*
So when were you gonna tell me you had a twin, Kile?
I don't know. I've just realized it xD
The best thing of my day was getting that pretty long contract! But it was a pretty good day too.
I'll be going to sleep soon. Still not sleepy but tomorrow I might not be able to be awake if I don't.
That's a good spot to find yourself in, in the middle of the week no less...

Well sleep well then, when you get that far.
And yes knowing that you have something to wake up fore, each day is a nice thing.
It really helps keeping ennui at bay, but you seem to be pretty good at doing that, in the first place.
*Hugs and snuggles for Kile*
