When I was new student I asked a fellow first year where he was going for Christmas. He said he was staying in Bangor as his parents had moved & not told him their new address.
How to upset your wife tip 2.
Say you are going gardening after she has spent all morning making the house spotless. With a dog & a ton of leaves out the back it is well nigh impossible not to muddy the kitchen floor…….
How to upset your wife tip 1.
Say you are going to watch 3rd place final Rugby World Cup match (really pointless game perhaps) instead of a candle-lit film watch.
Time to start Living In the Unconditional Love of God
I know you love me when I’m good or behave myself.
Words of comfort & love flooding my innermost being.
Perfect peace,
Joy,
Floating on cloud nine.
Unbroken contentment,
Inexplicable thoughts of wonder.
My reality.
My resting place.
The norm.
No strings attached.
No conditions.
Complete freedom.
Enjoy!
Is n’t this just too big a Love to live in?
When I doubt?
When I’m scared?
Feeling fearful?
Loosing control?
Putting my foot in it as usual?
Lashing out and feeling quite small?
Going into my shell?
After spoiling it all?
Oh!
You are still there for me!
After ALL that I’ve done?
What kind of love IS this?
Willing me on.
Picking me up.
Carrying me.
Through my darkest days.
Till the sun’s rays shine brightly again into my face?
Blindingly so!
So I’ll never be uncared for.
Never be left on my own.
Wow!
I’ve always been known,
Since time began.
You are always in me,
With me,
By my constant side.
Forever.
I think I’m going to explode
Love is bursting
You’ll have to pick the bits up!
Hey!
I’m different on the inside!
What the?
I’ve been torpedoed.
Shipwrecked
Sunk.
Come out on the other side.
How?
I’m stunned.
YES
I AM alive.
Crikey
I feel brand new.
New way of seeing.
New kind of thinking.
The rule book
Got torn up
I’m closing in
On you!
Your love HAS no limits.
Grace is endless.
Life is stupendous.
Did I climb this mountain?
Did I force my way here?
Don’t think so!
Simply caught in your air.
I feel as if I can glide away from here.
A kite?
An eagle?
A floating butterfly?
Up or down?
I have no idea?
Going where YOU take me
Simply as I am.
A Question on Gogot
If “Waiting for Godot” was written today.
Would it get a second look?
Uplifting absurdity, sweet tripe or waiting for something better?
Poetic?
Potent?
Optimistic?
Oscillating?
Fragmented?
Fragile?
A pinprick of light in a shaft of darkness?
A spectrum lost in banality?
Dare you decide or deride?
Cheer or sneer?
Time’s up!
I have n’t got all day.
Come on!
I can’t wait THAT long.
That’s not cricket!
Clean bowled before Beckett
6th sense
“I can tell if it’s raining!”
“Wow! Awesome!”
“Yes. Rather special….”
“How? What? An ache in your bones?”
“Nope. Just discovered a hole in my shoe. Taadaaa!”
Ode to Love
Love is like walking on water.
Love is oxygen we breath.
Love puts joy in your heart and a spring in your step.
Love helps you climb the highest mountain or overcome your greatest fears.
Love is like the gentle caress of a summer breeze as the swallow darts in its thermal tugging.
Love is like a raging torrent that can sweep everything downstream.
Love like an all-consuming fire.
Love that you will fight for and even die for.
Love covers every imperfection and always sees the best.
Love turns a timid mouse into a bold lion or brings a Hercules to his knees.
Love is a passionate kiss or a tender embrace.
Love is simply holding hands or rolling and tumbling in the hay.
Love is sharing the moment in laughter or wiping away the tears.
Love freely given grows with the years.

Bill’s Malay Masala Chicken cooked slowly for 50 minutes.
OK.This really was unchartered stuff with an English twist.
This one is spices doing the talking!
Cut up 2 onions as fine as you can (this is to stop Mrs B from seeing them & fishing them out) & start frying them in a pan (with a lid on) in 2 tbsp of cooking oil. After 2 minutes add 2 large heaped tsp of Malay Masala and a heaped half tsp of Galangal. (Good for Morning Sickness & Bad Breath apparently but I would not know about either……)Add a drop of rapeseed oil infused with lemon grass and no other extra spices.
Slam in 8 chicken legs into the pan & stir over the mix & onions. Turn the chicken over to get both sides golden yellow for 3 minutes or so.
Sneak in the juice of half a lemon. Add a bit of boiled water to stop a frying effect. The chicken is about to be braised! Add into the pan 1 tin of tomatoes & just leave the red on top for 30 minutes. (I was feeling lazy perhaps….). Reduce the heat to a little bubble……
This gives you a chance to walk the dog,cut 2 apples small size,cube 1 red pepper & find a bag of sultanas & basmati rice.
On the ding put the rice on to boil. I have started using lots of boiled water in a pasta pot. A ready made drainer!!
Put the red pepper into the pan with chicken & stir everything now adding water if needed. The smell will be driving you crazy by now……
Add the apple & sultanas and in 15 minutes the chicken dish should be cooked. Taste & see. Leave to stand & concentrate on the rice…..Done.
The English twist is the apple & sultanas. Perfect though…..
The caution is the sultanas soaking up the orange sauce.
Cookery Explanatory Note
Clearing up any misunderstanding.
I post food recipes using Yams when I should say Sweet Potatoes. Personally I blame Popeye as he was always sayin’
“I yam what I yam”.

Bill’s Piri Piri Turkey Kebabs without the sticks
We had 2 turkey steaks left in the fridge and yours truly was given the task of cooking them a la pronto.
OK! I got the grill warming for 10 minutes…..
Cut each steak into 2 or 3 strips & cut them 1 inch long or thereabouts.
Make a marinade of ½ heaped tsp Piri Piri,1 tsp Lemon Grass infused Cold Press Rape Seed Oil,1 tsp Olive Oil.
Cut ½ an onion up for grilling, ½ any pepper red or yellow, 2 tomatoes.
Stick everything under the grill then marinade everything. After 5 mins turn the meat & onion over & use rest of marinade.
We had some rice left from last recipe so we microwaved it for 2-3 minutes.
Everything was ready by the time I plated the rice.
Simple & very quick. The steaks lie flat so no need to use skewers!
Make sure tomatoes cut in half are topped up with olive oil if necessary.
