Cheap tip - use talcum powder. It's the same thing. I use cat grooming powder as it's also the same thing.

can you still get talc? I cant remember the last time I saw any.

Getting an old watch strap off and then fitting a new one is more difficult than it looks.

My project to build some cloches to cover the veg patch in the garden is under way. All the wood is cut to size and corner joints have been cut into some of the pieces. I hope to complete the rest of the corner joints tonight.

I'm having a break from the annual Ivy trimming at the side of the house, it has to be done sympathetically cos of the Sparrows that roost/nest in it (I cant just blatt it with a hedgetrimmer)

Probably not Unless the packet was unsealed, in which case the tea might not be quite as flavoursome as it ought to be. But it won't kill anyone if that's what you were thinking.

It was unsealed but I haven't heard a squeeze of a complaint yet simple I may have got away with it

Rain stopped play on the Ivy (luckily. )

Just picked up the car. £228 lighter for the new rear shocks. You realise how bad the old ones were - tested it out down one of the most badly surfaced roads locally, and it was fine. The rear suspension would thunk quite a bit - all quiet again.

I've spent most of the morning messing about on my new phone. I suppose I'd better get on with the housework this afternoon.

What phone did you get in the end?

 

[EltonFrog]

I've been out this afternoon, I'm back now.

Talc aka baby powder :-)

More comedy tonight, Robin Ince, the pub landlords are going again. We seem to spend more time with our local publicans than anyone else. Anyway, it's the final night of five in a row, it will be strange to stay in tomorrow.

10kg's! that's a big bag. We get our 3.5kg of Royal Canin delivered from these people www.zooplus.co.uk. We normally order 2 and that's heavy enough.
