That's the bit I don't understand either.

There was one in Hertford (near Ginger Indian restaurant) around Christmas, think it had French plates. Remember having a laugh as it was pissing down and they were having trouble turning round in our small streets. Everyone else manages though, even the dustman ;-)

That's a 2024 plate, last years. Think he went crazy before then.

No security or monitoring? No warnings about digging or mining?

Everyone tells him.

And yet I keep hearing from nuclear fans that there's nothing to worry about and that it's safe. And how is this cheaper than renewable. That place has to be maintained and secured for 100,000 years.

If we put that onto our timeline, we were just getting out of Africa and using stone tools.

That's not the sort of gift we should be leaving our descendents. Okay we have to deal with what we have, but we shouldn't be making any more of the stuff. Because there will be an accident somewhen down the line.

Same, it just seemed so naff. Sleep inducing.

And by his lack of action, let them in. 'Sleepy Joe' seems rather an apt moniker, although not for the Mango Mussolini's reasons.

Wonder if burgers are on the menu?

Or a tough as old boots steak with ketchup.

And don't forget Coca-Cola, I bet they are offering it free. Might as well as the Grifter In Chief won't pay the bill anyway.

They just can't give it up can they?

I clocked that in my newsfeed this morning and thought exactly the same.

I expected better from them but lately they have been going downhill.

Maybe, but to me, green tea has a fishy taste.

I'll stick with White, or Earl Grey thanks.

My daughter is visiting and left her case open.

 

Mum! There's a submarine driving down the road!

Rewatching The Expanse for the nth time. It always cracks me up to see Bobby Draper stuffing those cucumber sandwiches into her face. Do you want some?

Probably not what you're expecting - but the fact that the once iconic 'British' car is now made in China.

I spent many hours under the hood of my MGB GT :-(

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA

My daughter is studying Creative Writing and English Literature at Birmingham (UK) University. She's put together some pieces on Substack. Most of them are over my head, but this one hits right in the feels. Apart from a couple of technical inaccuracies, it's spot on. Hope you like it ;-)

This was my wife’s new throw/ blanket thing. Daisy never used to get on the sofa. But now if the throw isn’t there, she’ll sit and look until one of us cracks.

She loves these throws. And as long as I keep my ankles crossed and legs still, she'll stay.

Must admit I choked up a bit as our last two would never do this.
