A Random Five post [013] — I didn't do it !

.

my Five things (I did not do)

One: I did not go to Brighton on Tuesday.  Going to Brighton Beach is something I had been wanting to do for a long time. In fact it was my idea to go now. But when it came time to go I decided I would not go. Mrs. Jim, KP, and Billy went and had a lot of fun. I might go later, we will see.

On the minus side, the water was cold (Texas Gulf Coast beaches are warm and have spoiled us), there wasn't any sand, and it was supposed to rain.  Well, it didn't rain and the Brighton Pier rides were nice.  The food was nice too, the kids had fish and chips.

I stayed home and made myself a halibut (baked and breaded) sandwich with cheese, mustard, and lettuce.  It was really good.  I also had a cod fish cake and some musk melon.

Two:  I was going to do a mustard test before I left home but I didn't get it done.  I was going to test French's against a store brand (Kroger).  The Kroger was wonderful on hot dogs.

Karen and her friend from Houston went to Paris last weekend.  The brought me this Maille Chablis Moutard (mustard), to confuse me with the others.  But she said I couldn't take it home because it wasn't sealed, it was just poured into the jar and closed with a cork.

I had bought another jar which will seal to use while we were here.  It was a Maille Original  that I got at our neighborhood Tesco, which is the largest supermarket chain in the United Kingdom (Wikipedia).

Three:  I wasn't very close when T.H.E .. B.A.B.Y came home from the hospital but I did get these nice pictures.

 

Four:  I wish that I could give our Katrin (toy poodle) a hug but I can't.  The next best thing we did was to Skype her.  She seemed to like that but also seemed a little subdued. 

Katrin has kidney problems and will have to take a big blue pill, horse-pill-sized, every morning an hour before her breakfast.  In the picture with the blue, her bed had slipped down between the car seats and she went down with it.

Five:  I didn't bring any tweezers and Mrs. Jim left hers home.  That means I haven't pulled any nose hair out since we've been here. 

Perhaps I won't have to though as I found a nice pair of scissors with a little steel ball on the end of each blade.  That keeps me from cutting my self.  I may never pull another nose hair.

Something I did do:  I had a hot dog before I left.  On July 3rd, for Independence Day (on July 4).  That was good because July is National Hot Dog Month.  Have you had your hot dog this month?  See mine here on Wednesday's Jim's Little Blog (link). Maybe better than this fish and chips and mushy peas.
