I'm in a forest with the hound, being rained on by chestnuts and walnuts. Don't have to watch demos anymore.

Sorry, wrong question.
They sure as fuck don't have business or science degrees.

Who cares, and the railway got partially abandoned.
If Kemi's apprenticeship was so good, why did she take two degrees after that?

Jars of mincemeat that sells out on Dec 1st and gets replenished on Feb 1st, then sits there, shelf full all year. Repeats every year. ๐
I've got 2 tins left in the larder, dangerously low levels if you live in France.
I've got a "mule" visiting next month from UK, Christmas is saved!
I've found where that errant "e" came from. ๐

Then the beans got harder & fewer, the sauce became a juice and they became generally disappointing (unless you cooked them in the frying pan after bacon).
I'm evangelical about a certain brand of baked beans, never mind the lunch/dinner/tea debate, which hill of beans will you die on?

We stayed on the boat Sarah in Guidecca next to the Hilton. Was different and a great experience with a an ever-changing view. Hop on a vaparetto to cross the canal in the morning. Got a bit choppy around 5am when the Greek ferries started arriving. Loved it.
