Exercise

Above you can see a word cloud. It has  been created on the Geograph website to tell me which words crop up the most in the titles I have given to the 17,162 pictures I have submitted to Geograph. You may have played around with word clouds yourself at some time in the past few years.

Just as a little writing exercise, I gathered those words and with just a few extra words I made an intelligible piece of writing that included all of the above. You don't have to be mad to manage the "Yorkshire Pudding" blog but it helps:-
Near the top of the moor edge road
A brook runs north off through a wood
By a lane and under a bridge
To the reservoir in Rivelin le Valley
Before rushing on east
Down the hill to Sheffield -
Joining the river by an inn
Close to an old water mill
Up at the end
Where a path from above Edale
Heads west along a street with a view
Looking over to the park
At St John’s School
By Fox Tree Hall pub
And a farm house south of a tor
From which a silvery beck might be seen
Far away

An interesting exercise but I guess I could do better if I spent longer working on it.

Bog Disaster

 The thaw has started and my outside toilet exploded.
I’d missed the fact that the toilet had frozen over totally.
Well as usual I’m gilding the lily a little but the connection into the cistern had completely blown off and the water was spraying up over the ceiling and had flooded the floor and the patio by the time I’d found it.
The stop cock , is located behind the toilet and I’d stored some electric heaters and other crap in the loo so I was soaked to the skin before the deluge was stopped
My screams sent the dogs scurrying upstairs .
How I didn’t electrocute myself God knows
I missed this mornings Christmas Fayre as a result 
Sods law. 

I’m not too pissed off..
The Fayre was a great success btw, I loved the fact that as part of their remit , the community Association and villager Jo sorted out free food for all from the Olio food waste app.
Apologies for my absence everyone.

Free food for Trelawnyd villagers

I’ve just been stuffing a chicken with sweet onions and garlic 
I’m making a comfort meal for my friend Colin tonight, 
I’ve made creamed cabbage, pork stuffing with apples  and garlic mash potato
I’ve not enough oven space so I’ve bought Yorkshire puds ( I know!!!!)
But I’ll make gravy with sloe jelly to fill them 

I love cooking for someone
