We have eggs at school , they are not for the culinary delights of the teachers but its part of the topic of life cycles last year when I was in year one I was on chicken mess cleaning up duty. As one of the chicken that we hatched came back to visit us , unfortunately it left us a little message in each of the classrooms it visited. I ably chased around chicken clearing up its mess ...
I was told a funny story by a chicken when asked about what the children had learnt about chicken a child put their hand up and said " If you go to a Derby County football match you have to a Derby flag "
To which my colleague asked " That's very nice but we are talking about chickens"
The child said" I am getting there" and proceeded to say the same sentence but saying about different football teams and talking the right flags.
Exasperated my colleague said " yes but what has this got to to with chickens ?"
"AWWH you see "said the child "Chickens can't go to football matches"
Where there is a child there is always clear logic. !
Not much has been happening this week in the Toplis household except my husband has been struck down with a viral illness. He rather sounds like a James Bond villain at the moment, rasping with evil overtones .
Also this week my blog has broke not sure what's up with it ?
But safe to say I have called in Miss Marple .. Was it the vicar in the study with the lead pipe ?
Let us look at the suspects..
1. The evil cat Rollie .....
2. The fairies at the bottom of the garden.
3. Me ... have I over tinkered at some point
So conclusionn I am at a loss ...
I need a SEO makeover .
I think it's a case of let's do the time warp again.
I feel in limbo .. Yes I know in the scheme of things it's not the end if the world ..
The Lovely Lovely people at Total yoghurt decided to let Rollie try some Greek split pot Yoghurt's. Well Rollie was so excited He lay in wait for the Ocado man first he hid in a box. I worry about my cat what goes through its mind. Why did it eat its own eyes holes out. Rollie of course can be hired out as a hitman.
Rollie then decided to stalk the Ocado man by waiting at the window..... Poor Ocado man....
Finally the Ocado man delivered much to the relief of Rollie , me and the rest of the human race.
Evil Rollie inspects the yoghurt's. You never argue with this cat . he took his time inspecting his hoard. Perhaps it was because the Ocado man ran , ran for his life from the property and Rollie was sulking at missing out on live prey.
Honestly Rollie is smiling within.
This is the information from the Total Greek website.

"
This all sounded good to me and Evil Ninja cat Rollie.
The First Total Greek Yogurt to be tried was the strawberry .Of course I ate the yogurt first and the cat had a little of each.... The split pot yoghurt's are great for breakfast,lunch or a dessert. We ate them mainly for breakfast and for dessert . I found them all to be quite filling and satisfying . Anyway back to the strawberry yoghurt. I tried the strawberry compote first and found it to very sweet and quite jam like, but a very high quality jam.
Next up was the honey yoghurt, now I had read people had trouble with the honey setting in this yoghurt. I had no such trouble at all. The honey trickled easy offf my spoon into the Greek yoghurt. I have never been one for tipping the compote into the yoghurt. I think it is part of a mortal fear that it is going to spring out of my hats and splatter me in the face. I found the honey to be an ideal partner to the tartness of the Greek Yoghurt a good British cup of tea.
We totally adored the blueberry yoghurt , it was an assualt on my senses. I loved the blueberries exploding on my tongue it was a bit of a "When Harry met Sally " moment ... blush. I think this has to be the best of the bunch as it totally blew me away.
The final yoghurt was the tropical which at first looked odd because it has kiwi's in in but the taste is mellow and of course tropical and it transports you off to some tropical island( No it doesn't but we can all dream can't we.) It is rather sweet but it so nice.
So in conclusion Rollie and I really liked the yoghurts we think they have got the competition licked. Please head off to the Total Greek website , you can pick up so good fitness tips there too.
Jack the common servant cat decide to clean up after King Rollie.
This is Rollie video review of the Strawberry Split Pot yoghurt
I constantly plot the downfall of my human couterparts. I leave mice's heads on the kitchen floor, and foot in the downstairs toilet oh and its brains just inside the kitchen door. Which are just ready for the humans when they rush down stairs in the middle of the night for a glass of water. I had thought from the various friends on her who felines leave them bits of mouse everywhere that we could cobble a mouse together. You know a sort of MOUSECANSTEIN with a bolt through its neck; and don't ask me why I would call it Bob.
Can you spot the cat can you , its a bit like that " Where's Wally"
I had the small human in a tight grip, don't let my sleeping face fool you. I let the small human go but I still had an evil smirk . Its tough being a cat and humans are so stupid. Well all this plotting I was really thristy, so after this those super people @Bombardier_beer had given me so beer to review.
Notice the wink yet again( why does my cat do this?)
Well I couldn't but the grown up human could.
And I have to say it looked a gorgeous pint after pouring it into the glass...
The look of it does wishes you could reach into the picture and take it there and then. It has the right level of hopyyiness ( made up word) it sits very well on your pallette. I charged my husband with drinking this. At first he couldn't detect the peppary aromas but after some cheese and crackers which he said he needed to clear his palette! he was able to detect this. Or was he too lazy to go get himself a snack!
My husband struggles with Mother's day (even though I am a mother) , he lost his mother when he was 17 . He comes from a large family and he was the baby of the family a last attempt at another girl. He has 5 brothers and one sister.
He went to work at 16 after leaving school he was a young one being only 15 when he took his exams and then he was straight into the working world where there should have been a Mothers guiding hand then was only his father who was very much struggling to keep it all together.
My husband didn't have his own bedroom till he was 14 it was a case of sleeping top to toe with his other brothers. his sister was a saving grace but when sibling responsibility comes a price that that is one of perhaps losing your childhood as you do your duty and raise your siblings.
He lost his mum to cancer breast and brain tumour she was a lovely lady whom I only ever spoke to on the phone when asking to speak to him who was then my boyfriend. So I wonder would would she make of me , I regret very much she will never meet her grandson.
So life was tough for him and the day serves as a reminder to him
