Doing a protect mental health. Nothing wrong, just too much 'out there' and muting has turned into a game of whackamole. Laters, taters x

Oooh @rosamundi.bsky.social

I missed that! To be fair I rarely look.

retrospective planning permission, which would be denied or rip out the very expensive handmade oak staircase and replace with an also expensive bespoke metal industrial one. I'm still laughing about that 5 years on.

Or they've got planning permission as an estate office fitting in with your ancillary building theory. I've known somewhere here do that, with full intention of using upstairs 'storage rooms' as a retirement flat. Building inspector came & told him it's either residential, in which case apply for

Mel, I NEED to start Pilates for reasons. I know the proper answer is to find a class/instructor IRL but that's just not feasible for me and certainly not immediately. Could you recommend an online resource please?

When you know you're part of the furniture.

Hey HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Oh congrats! I've the opposite problem - not officially started yet but everyone wants to talk to me.

Oh love. That's SHIT. I wouldn't be able to go back either.

Bravo.

Yes and no - Simmer in broth rather than saute.

It's more texture than taste really. Tasty is classic mushroomy: but the texture is unique. Chewy and crunchy, but not brittle, with a silky feel. They are extraordinary. They dry and keep in a jar very well.

I read somewhere that all ads for men over 60 are for a nurse or purse. My experience of online dating did not disprove that theory.

I once wrote a lonely hearts ad for a surprise birthday present for a pal in Private Eye. I can't remember the exact wording but it did include "own hair & teeth". I did not write it to be attractive. He got FOUR replies, each leading to a date. He reckoned he owed them a dinner just for replying.

That's enough to keep me going with my ramen quota for the year!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Oh Jen I am so so happy for you xx

This can never ever ever end well.

Lorries who flash their lights when you are overtaking to signal you're at the right point to pull in now. Feel like guardian angels.

Does this means what I hope it means?!! Less long distance, more cosy?!

Ah we do. But nearest tub of yoghurt is a 30 mile round trip!

We didn't have any Olio here last time I looked. That was a few years ago though. I'll look again.

Awww thank you x

It's via an app "Too Good to Go". You check what's available in your area and you are promised, eg here: £10 worth of groceries for £4.99. It's a bit of a gamble, but definitely worth it today!!

I knew her cousin Pooee.

I know I'm in overwhelm b/c I'm handing over one role where everyone else is still stuck with their heads in the sand and starting new role where expectations are dizzyingly high. And guess who despite appearing confident is doing actually dying from imposter syndrome? Yup. That'll be me then.

I am going to plant some seeds. Currently frozen in overwhelm because I've misplaced a* picture which needs framing. Swiftly replaced by overwhelm of which seeds. And yes I've got Huw's Veg in One Bed plus I KNOW how to do veg gardening.

THREE seeds. That's all. 3 is better than 0.

*Ha ha ha 'a'.

I haven't tasted it yet but there's not a single thing in there I wouldn't have been happy buying. And even yellow-stickered: WAY more than the £10 worth promised.

Being led into it certainly helped. I was surprised I got that far tbh.

This is ace! I lost it at 1200. I could maybe have stuck at it and deciphered, but it wouldn't have been 'reading'.
