My wife has just spotted some marks on the lounge ceiling, we may have a central heating water leak on the landing upstairs

Blame her.

You may find it takes less time if you don't use scissors.

She is only little & they are big scissors.

Dont forget to starve the plant of water for a few days..... dont ask how I know

Not easy to do if it rains.

Blame her.

It was the professional plumber who was involved in the house extension, which is why I normally don't allow trades in the house, it's bodged up for tonight, have to get the parts tomorrow.

Hate water leaks !

We've ordered Italian food from the local family run restaurant - they've been really busy doing deliveries, so that keeps them going as they are only small. One of their speciality starters is ribs in an orange sauce - utterly delicious. They say they usually do 4 boxes a week of ribs, and are currently doing 14 boxes. We'll probably do the same again in a month when it's Mrs F's birthday.

Oh I hope not! That'll be costly, not to mention messy!

What's the verdict regarding eating mussels in May ( no R in the month and all that) ?

Today's grass cutting done and the watercolour painting mostly finished.

Still need to do the bits outside that the council and drainage board usually do, but haven't. That's on the agenda for tomorrow.

I get the impression that @Andy in Germany has a beautiful daughter who is keen on pink.

Alas, my vintage crockery isn't up for grabs.

I've got three more of those, one blue, one green and one yellow.

I was thinking that Beautiful Daughter would be a good judge of the pinky pinkness of pink, rather than "borrowing" your vintage crockery.

True...

Does make me wish I had a spare set though. I did have the opportunity to acquire more, but didn't - a charity I was volunteering for was packing up, and the crockery was going to go into the skip. More fool me as I really like this kind of stuff.

I've no idea what baharat is but it sounds lush anyway.

It's a North African spice mix.

'Would you like me to french trim your lamb cutlets?' I imagined my local butcher saying to me.
'Yes please' my imaginery self answered.

There is a Charity shop near here that concentrates on China, glassware and kitchen items, plus some books. There is also a tea shop that takes (and I presume pays for) all the odd cups and saucers and plates. So both parties gain. I like the idea of mismatched crockery as it reminds me of my grandma.
