Cheese

Cheese is delicious. I like many kinds of cheeses - colby, edam, mild and tasty. Then you've got all the other delicious cheeses - Harvarti, brie, camembert, feta, haloumi, parmesan, gouda, peccorino, goats cheese, sheep cheese and the list goes on. The one cheese I have yet to develop a taste for is any type of blue cheese! Try as I might, I just can't savour the taste of mould, however, my lovely dog Molly (who I never give cheese) today developed a taste for many of the cheeses noted above!

My flatmate was hosting a tuppaware party and had prepared a sumptious feast for the guests, this included lovely cheese platters. In preparation some of the platters were placed on the coffee table in anticipation of the arrivals, one minute there was a fine selection of cheese, 5 minutes later only crackers remained. The culprit was immediately identified given the cheese was sitting at exactly labrador mouth height!! MOLLY!

First reaction - will a dog die from eating cheese? According to Google - No! Phew, death averted, worst case scenario she will get the runs  - thankful to say this hasn't happened. Now I'm just waiting for nightmares and a migraine tomorrow!

Cheese, you gotta love it!

Doing Stuff

There used to be a great show called Ice TV which aired when I was a scarfie in Dunedin. Petra Bagust, Jon Bridges and Nathan Rarere were the hosts and it took up 3 hours of your Saturday viewing. I loved it so much I used to record it on the VHS machine I hired from DTR. Those of you who are a certain age will recall Video recorders, if you are gen X then you won't have a clue what I'm talking about!!
Anywho, the point of this blog is that there was a great line from Ice Tv that I remember to this day - "Doing stuff, makes you hungry", it's a line I've remembered all these years and today it applied to me, but in a  modified version.

Today, doing stuff such as garage cleaning, cupboard cleaning, laundry, dog walking, aftershock surviving, soup cooking, dinner cooking and washing dishes has made me tired!! 7.51pm - ready for bed! However those of you who know me well know that I have vino in hand and fab tv on screen, but my beautiful new bed is ready to go when I finally make my way there. Definitely worth being tired for!!

Sweet dreams!!
