The Israeli government should allow the international press in to report the truth.

Netanyahu has not allowed outside journalists independent access to Gaza since it launched the war. The rest of the world has to rely on Palestinian journalists and 170 of them have been targeted and killed.

However much you may detest the press, local papers are an excellent way to get a message out. A letter to your local rag, or phone call to the news desk, will be seen by council and shame them.

Hopefully she will think twice before walking there again.

I hope you had words.

It’s overkill.

Ooh! I hate Nextdoor. Joined briefly and found it maddening. Took me ages to break free from the group.

Good idea. I know lots of people don’t use FB. I only use it for local roadworks, missing cats and I had an Amazon parcel go missing which the wrong recipient kindly posted on our local noticeboard. A friend saw the post and contacted me.

If you on the local FB community notice board you could post the photo and ask if anyone has your parcel.

Sourdough has less sugar. I get very cross because I need gluten free and all bakery products are stuffed with sugar and additives.

Why would you want to?

Please don’t use chemicals.

It looks good. I don’t think that product is gluten free but I use their mince, which is. I don’t eat meat nowadays.

Best of luck. The only Quorn products I find palatable is the mince. I look forward to your verdict.

Farage and Montgomerie do not present balanced reporting.

Could you grate some cheese on top, or would that upset your diabetes? I’d be very happy with beans, potatoes and grated cheese plus a dash of sauce.

I loathe artificial light. I refuse to have overhead light in winter. A lamp and candles. Even use a torch rather than put a light on.

I’ve just Googled French knitting and you can buy kits. But, as you said, we used cotton reels.

14.05.2025 05:27 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes. We would compete to see who could produce the longest in a day. Different strands of colours used. Great fun. I doubt any kids nowadays would have a clue about French knitting.

You could wind the long strip in a circle and stitch it to make a table mat.

I understand the frustration. I get that most days but wouldn’t be without her.

And I used to walk at least one mile a day and spend hours gardening.

There usually is light at the end of the tunnel. I have been housebound for past five weeks due to flare-up of herniated disc and sciatica. Scared I’d never get out again, but had short walk today.

She’s very agile for an elderly lady.
