turpsI've been offline for the last few days. Seems if you don't pay your bill the telephone company will cut you off. Go figure. But on the positive, in that time I've managed to sort out my picture files into a very basic order, and catch up on all my shows I downloaded and most of the ones on the DVR. Of course now I have to go onto a downloading frenzy to catch up. The worst of that? As well as knowing new Criminal Minds and CSI were out there and I couldn't see them. Watching the last two episodes of season one Brothers and Sisters, the channel announcing the new season would begin next year, and me going, NOOOOOOO!!!! You know I'll be hitting the torrents as soon as I post this.
So what else has happened? Corey made the school rugby team. Thinking of which. YAY England! I saw Ratatouille which was amazing, and The Invasion which was a couple of hours of my life I'll never get back. I got my next veggie box, and instead of the parsnips and broccoli got courgettes and a turnip. The courgettes have been roasted and eaten but the most I've used to turnip for is turnip and tattie mash or hollowed out at Halloween. It was Kayleigh's birthday yesterday, but most important. I've got a brand new nephew! He was born late last night, and hasn't got a name yet. ETA: It's Lewis John. I've got a text picture showing him being cuddled by my brother's partner. She looked so happy, and the baby is so tiny . Of course as he was a week overdue he's probably not tiny at all, but he looks it, all scrunched up face and that weird colour babies have when they've just been born. He's gorgeous.
Now I have an hour before rugby, so I'm going to eat my breakfast and catch up a little.

And new baby in the family! (Who is not, dear brain, called John Lewis ...)

Date: 2007-10-15 09:33 am (UTC)I love turnip mash, both on its own and with potato, but I never thought of using it in a salad. Which I should have, as when I was a kidlet my dad had an allotment and I used to love eating those small white turnips, just biting into them like an apple.
Yes, new baby! I'm so looking forward to seeing him :)
