I learnt to cook the way Nate is now. Just being with mum, watching and learning, fetching and carrying. I just do the donkey work for big things, like Xmas, so I will be preparing all the veg and stuff, I won't be in charge of timings or the turkey or anything on the big day I don't think. Last year i was in charge of keeping mum and I drunk enough to tolerate her cousin. Hahaha. Snowballs!
A side effect of living in the country. The bloody robin got in again today pooping on stuff... We get fox, deer, badgers, owls, buzzards and bats and things in the garden too. I only saw the rat when it was dead. I had argued with mum that it was a rat, she insisted it was a mouse. She wouldn't come see it dead though. Lol. It was massive. At our old place a bird flew into a window and died, we chucked it in the bin, on bin day there were maggots all over the bin. Eww. I had to sort it out because everyone else was too grossed out. Tip for the ladies, don't let your fella see you do that, he will end it soon after. Haha, pussy.
Just got soap in nate's eye. After washing it clear I am letting him sit on my lap and watch in the night garden so I'm on here! I felt so guilty, it was really painful. He is happy now though so I shall chuck him back in the tub.
Your dinner sounds good. I'm too lazy for pasta bakes.
