This "and the faffing and fannying about (often followed by "Argh! I can't do this!")" looks like you are somehow peering in to our house.

I'm trying not to just go "Do it, or don't do it"

Every spring:
Me "does the sunshine on the heatpump mean it is currently sunny and I want it to be cooler, or that I need sunshine to warm up?"
I've no idea how I always talk myself in to complete confusion over apparently universal icons

It's absolutely beautiful, but only if you have power/fireplace/heating

Haha sorry hadn't seen this before I posted.
Wife just stared at me as I went off on a rant about how you could generate roads as a solution to any of our problems right now and said "what do you want me to say?"
I'm not sure who national is polling? Owners of mainfreight?

Skewed poll.
There was no option for ROADS. That's the government's solution, so how is no one seeing that as our key problem right now?

And I guess when "the queen" has been the same person your whole life, then isn't....

Yes, or when they say "the queen" and then you see Camilla. Not sure how many years it will take my brain....

Looks divine

Our rhubarb grows enough to do our Christmas trifle, but little more. No matter what we do it seems to have decided what it's yield is.

If we ever get more I'll look in to that cheesecake, thanks

I just hate the noise of those pops. You'd think they'd be paired with good times, but...nope....

I have just headed to bed after a long week...rain seems to be settling in sadly.

Quite a PSA there.
I was already having trouble getting to sleep tonight, and now I've more things to ruminate about....

I think we all need more completely unnecessary garlic ciabatta!!

Beautiful vegie plants!
I've never really understood flowers, but can admire healthy fruit and vegetables all day!

Yes. So bizarre.
I was "how can anyone think he tos the right answer?", but then also why would my brain dream this?
Wondered if it was one of those skim reads where your brain smooshes two headlines together....

I read the headline and thought I'd just not properly woken up this morning....

Instead of sitting laughing at Luxon in a fluoro vest over his suit [WTF?] I'm just gonna focus on the wholesomeness of your Dad busting a move 😀
Much better for the soul

Oh Foxy!
You and Dad have made me smile broadly!!!
Wonderful.

Oowww....

Defo have a colleague who needed plastics input after a mandolin.....

I use mine occasionally, but always with great care

Still kinda bewildered by meridian offering us a 5 year fixed price deal about 18 months ago.
Chasing the middle class or what?
We said yes, cos not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, but feels rank

Teen says D, G, B
He's put a tremendous amount of thought in to this.
Hard to argue

Outstanding comment!!!

So much love on both sides

Wow!!!

Not the same generation, but remembering the joy with which now teen embraced the "Billy" from Thomas the tank engine my mum knitted him as a preschooler....so lovely

I always find the sound of fermentation soothing.
Bubble bubble

Do you manage this many zingers at the dinner table, or just on social media?
Imagining it hard to eat at yours, as I'd be laughing so much

Must be so bizarre to be back at homebrew scale.
Hope you're enjoying it and not too bittersweet

Haha. Especially if it is mostly fake tan ;-)

This winter has been awful. And I wonder if in a couple of decades we'll be shocked we all walked around in manky air in 2025.
Like the eww idea of unclean drinking water now.

Cath this is so kind, thank you. I will muse on it and the merits of asking my wife about cupboard space. On the one hand I've genuinely wanted one since intermediate. On the other hand, how often would I use it? On my third hand, she loves ginger. If I did I'm aware of going rate + postage. 😊

Man. I loved making ginger gems in home ec so much I suggested getting a gem iron, and my mum said no, but....erm 30+ years on, maybe I should buy myself a gem iron, because that's inspiring
