What's not wrong with them, deep fried batter with sugar on Yuk!

Precisely.

They used your old home?

No but they could have done, it's just up the road the other side of the railway bridge at the 'Richard Attenborough Centre' (a Leicester lad)

My flat looked out over 'Nelson Mandela Park' (or 'Dog 5hit Triangle' as the locals have always known it.)

I bought a 3D printed moon lamp.

For all of my life, I've assumed the dark patches on the moon's surface such as the Sea of Tranquillity and Ocean of Storms were low points... turns out they're high plateaus.

after a little research... it appears that my 3D printed moon lamp, supposedly constructed using actual NASA mapping data, is wrong.

What is the difference between a narrow hem and a "rolled" hem?

Is a rolled hem, like turning the fabric twice, so that the cut edge is completely inside the hem? Or should I purchase both types of sewing machine foot, and see what works?

No, no, no, a rolled hem is a piece of smoked meat served in Kensington.

Happy to help.

Not all doughnuts are deep fried. I have a Danish doughnut pan and make mine that way.

A question, if I may for the sewers seamstresses on here.

One of my future projects involves using finer lighter fabric than I normally use.

So, a "narrow hem" foot for my sewing machine will stitch a narrow hem, so far so easy peasy. What is the difference between a narrow hem and a "rolled" hem?

Can't help you, Wol, I always do my hems by hand.

We have been given some contradictory tickets to see a comedienne tonight .

In other news I popped out on my bike this afternoon to visit my brother . It was lovely and sunny but the wind was a bit gusty , especially on the way back which was a head wind coming from the East/ North East .

It is being an awkward day: First punctures, now a Migrane is kicking off. Of course the meds for same are in my other bag.

I'm trying to push through it because someone put forward the theory that if you ignore the visual wierdness and keep going, the other symptoms are reduced.

Strangely, this seemed to work. I'm not sure it'll solve the problem every time as the visual part was relatively mild too, but it was good to make it through the day

Xtracycle was in a bad mood all the way back though. I'm glad I wasn't dealing with that and a headache...

Did a fair bit of walking between sites today in the heat. Was in early and had back to back meetings so left at 3pm (no lunch). Now sat in the garden, BBQ on, and trying a dark fruit cider, with loads of ice.

Aldi's dark fruit cider is very nice indeed. Lovely with a glass full of ice.

I wouldn't put ice into a rough still 'Farmhouse Scrumpy' but I would in the commercial gassy stuff.
