The breakfast radio diaries 021: Toast, chocolate traps and cow tagging

If I get fat this week (or die of a chocolate related overdose of some sort) then it's all the sales teams fault. They set up an Easter display on the way to the printer with an open invitation to help myself whenever I passed. And so I have.
Yes those little Cadbury eggs went so well with my morning coffee. Yes they were better than the stale toast. No I didn't stop at one, this is me we're talking about and when those little seductive bastards whisper their little chocolate call, you know its me unwrapping them then and there..

MISSING IN ACTION

Apart from my self restraint when it comes to free chocolate, also missing from the radio station this morning was any and all milk. Either there was a cappuccino party I missed out on during the previous afternoon or more than likely the milk bloke failed to show again. So I had to pass on my usual breakky go to of creamy oats and settle for toast - salvaged from the loaf that was semi fresh roughly a week ago when it was offered up for Toastie Tuesday. 
When in this situation just apply enough heat to get it well toasted and drown it in as much butter as you can boost from the company fridge and any thoughts of possible staleness and best before dates will disappear before you can say 'Maybe I shouldn't have eaten all of these eggs beforehand?'

FREE SPACE, JUST LIFT LID

'Should you use the free space in your neighbours bin if yours is full on bin night?'

And a staggering 95% of the Border surveyed suggested this was perfectly normal. Provided: 

-You get on well with your neighbours

-You put the right stuff in the correct bin (we stuffed this up one bin day and earned a strike because of it. Three of these in a year and they won't collect your bin for a few week.)

-You don't stink it out

-You don't cut up body parts and dispose of it in the neighbours bin.  

(Actually I made that last one up but it's there to cover any and all possible bases.) This outcome is handy to know for times of high rubbish and recycling turnovers ie Easter which isn't far away and of course Christmas. I'll just have to work out where else to dump any possible bodies if we ever cross that bridge.

SPEAKING OF EASTER

Easter plans? Well I've got plans for fish on good Friday - the family wants Salmon, the wallet suggests fish and chips in the air fryer would be better. I've got the outlaws coming for a visit and since I'll be on holidays during and slightly after Easter, I plan on getting some much needed sleep in. Oh and more time on the 3d printer, more time with the airbrush, a bit of weight work outside when my energy returns and of course lots more chocolate consumption.

Lu plans on tagging some cows. Not with paint but with proper cow tags, a family activity when your life outside of radio is spent on a farm. I'd join in, roll up the sleeves and offer my services but lets be honest here, I'm the furthest from a cowboy you're ever going to get which means the job will be done in no time flat when I'm not around there to 'help.'

AND SPEAKING OF COWS..

I spoke of this massive event coming up Monday:

Especially my delight in seeing a couple of rounds of Cow Poo Lotto lined up as part of the festivities. It's pretty much one of the only times a bunch of people are going to get excited by a cow doing its business..

Right, back to the printing!
