Not put anything down for them?

Won't it be a bit late to put cheese down for them ?

Morning.
I've put our recycling bins out .
No plans of what to do today. I will probably be told what I will be doing when she gets up .

It turns out that if you enter the time before you press ''Speed Defrost'' it zaps as normal. And the hot milk curdled just like the old milk.

Meanwhile, coffee's tasting good....

Yes it is. That's the correct term for it.

The posh Victorian ones were actually made in silver to look like miniature barrels (and the slightly less posh ones in plate), hence the term biscuit barrel. As back then, biscuits were bought loose from the grocer.

Was only towards the end of the Victorian era when tins became the norm. And then you get all the poncy collectable biscuit tins...

When I were a lad we had a Tin Biscuit Barrel about 14" tall and 8-9 inch diameter that had a recess on the inside of the lid that held a little perforated tin with dessicant in it, every couple of months my Mum would take this out and pop it into the oven for half an hour then once it was cool pop it back into it's hole. Stopped the biscuits from going soft in the Barrel

None of this metric malarkey, what's that in pounds and ounces?

For complete accuracy there's 16 x 40g retail packs to give a total of 640g or 22.57oz (we have to work in metric as it's an EU mandated check).

What a lovely day to be working from home. More clear skies, nice & warm with a bit of a breeze and no need to battle the day trippers on Felixstowe's seafront roads on the commute.

....we have to work in metric as it's an EU mandated check....

Avoirdupois sounds European enough to me.

Only 4 more sleeps to me becoming a millionaire, having taken the collectives advice I bought a PB I will be upset if I don't win first time out.

Maybe you should reconsider.
"A 3.5-ounce serving of red ants supplies about 14 grams of protein, according to the National Geographic website. The same serving of red ants also supplies 6 milligrams of iron, which is 71 percent of the 8 milligrams men need each day and about one-third of the 18 milligrams women require on a daily basis. Ants are also a good source of calcium."

That is just an ugly rumour that we are running out of food that has been spread about by those who have invested heavily in insect farms .

It is getting hot out there !

I've just been fitting a pair of helicopter tape bits to the front sections of my sills in order to try to prevent some stone chips . The rear ones that I made are looking fine .

It is getting hot out there !

Still very breezy

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

There's a new mobile crane out the back. This one's got counterweights near the ground. It only took an hour to erect

Cloudless skies, hot and breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Too hot to be outside so have spent the morning doing paperwork and working on the Tyrrell painting.

Oh and watching FP1 from Silverstone and the snooker from Sheffield.

I do have a couple of those lurking in the cupboard.

Though the ceramic one I use matches the Lotus mug that I sometimes use.
