Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

Morning everyone.  There is a park in Kelmscott that has outdoor exercise equipment and one in Maddington too. I never really see them getting used properly.

I like the way you and your husband always make the most of your time together Flashie.  It's really nice.

Prim, I'd freak out if we had spiders that bad but you will have to be careful.  You could book the exterminators for a Friday and go for a nice weekend getaway which you deserve anyway.

Deb, chia seeds are little tiny seeds which go kind of gelatinous when moistened but they still have a kind of pop to them.  Hard to explain but they remind me of the caviar of the seed world.  Anyway, they are supposed to be good for you.

Chocolate Protein Bliss Balls

1 cup of raw cashews, blended until smooth or fine granular

2 tblsps raw honey

1 tsp vanilla extract

8 dates, pitted

2 tblsps raw cacao powder

1 cup of dessicated coconut for coating

Place all of the ingredients (except the coconut) into a blender and mix until smooth.  Try not to blow your blender up the way I did.

Use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls (I got 15 balls out of mine)

Pour the coconut onto a plate and roll each of the balls until they are coated.

Place them in the fridge and they will firm up a bit more.

I added a tblsp of chia seeds in with the mix but you can vary them as much as you like by using some other dried fruit or different nuts such as almond/cashew mix.

Good afternoon Stringers 

BBL last night did not eventuate lol

Prim I thought you might be having problems - you are allowed to have a rant lol.  Sounds like getting into the boards is the very least of your problems though .... and now more spiders!  I well remember what happened to you last time the pest controllers came in .... not something you would want to go through again!  A few days away would do you a power of good and now you have the justification!

Did you make the headlines today Flashie?  'Two fun-loving big kids playing after hours on the exercise equipment - their giggling woke up the neighbourhood'  

Sounds like you both found muscles you had forgotten you had 

We have heaps of exercise equipment in the ribbon of parkland running beside the river here - well used too but have never been prompted to try them for fear of embarrassment and his nibs would never EVER consider them lol.

Thanks for the recipe j*oono - sounds interesting and they do look tempting.

Better get back to writing up some minutes and a bit of editing I have been trying to avoid.  Might catch up later - have a good day all (what is left of it anyway)

[flashie*]

No, thank goodness Laney................(would have been a bit of a giggle though......woudn't be the first time we have embarrassed our children)...............I have promised them that I will never wear lycra..........they will have to be satisfied with that.

We are babysitting one grandson tonight while his mother is at her Christmas do.......................we are watching D'Movie........(Mrs Browns Boys)......................again...........

[flashie*]

Well he loved the movie...................I love hearing his laugh.

[primaryaim]

Good morning Stringsters. We are expecting 40 degrees here today so we are bracing ourselves.....so much to do and too hot to do it, darn it!

Flashie, I hear what you say.

Have a great day everyone.

[debra9275]

morning all 

that's a very early heat wave Prim. hope it cools down for you soon

[flashie*]

It is only suppose to get to 23 here today...............but that is a bit warm for this time of the year.

I was going to water the lawns this morning............but I think I might wait until later tonight.

Hubby is still carpet laying..............so I am a bit bored.

I am giving the ironing pile the evil stare................but it does not care.....................I guess I am going to have to beat it into submission.

[mtnlane]

Good morning Stringers 

Hope you are managing to stay cool Prim.  The day has not decided what it is going to do yet but I need to have a whinge anyway 

You know that lovely hot shower that you look forward to in the mornings?  Well I look forward to it ...... did not eventuate today though.

No hot water arrrrrghhhh.  Now the battle to get a plumber out to see what the problem is ...... was it you j*oono that had a similar problem recently?

At least we have gas so I have not missed out on my caffeine intake this morning - small mercies lol

[j*oono]

Morning everyone.  I did have a problem Laney but not no hot water.  The water wouldn't come out of my bathroom and shower taps at all.

The plumber had to reseat the taps and all ok now. It was odd how it happened to two taps in the same room at the same time but at least I had the boys bathroom.

Flashie, I gave up ironing except for business type shirts and luckily no one is wearing them now.
