WE Have spiders making No Go areas in our garden . They think that they are clever by making an invisible web and sitting in the centre . Well that is until a Georgie spots it sitting in the centre and thinks . What's that ? I don't think the spider wanted to be played with !

We have that too. I remember waking up at 7am for work, opening the door and stepping out into face full of spider web. Not a very nice experience

It was like watching a nature documentary of a big lion or catching a baby animal of some sort. I am sad that so many bees met their untimely death but at the same time i don't agree with disrupting or interrupting the path of nature. The hive will still have plenty of bees to replace those that are lost.

- I really dont know why im so sentimental about it tbh. Spiders have to eat after all.

On all five.

That's the point; some are 3, some are 4, some in the middle.

Uneven heating. Do you not move them round?

I think spider's should be made to be veggie or vegan..
Feed them Cheese Wotsits or summat.
That'll be Bee Friendly 🐝

It's half past five in the morning when I eat Breakfast. Half past five, which is half past four in your time I'll have you know. I'm lucky to be able to find the oven: advanced pre-gormandizing wheat product manipulation is out of the question.

Kitchen is usually a good place to start looking, otherwise, the last place you used it.

You'll be saying you don't know where the Marmite is next.

Would you have been up for a stint of toast shuffling?

 

[Reynard]

Ah, the Le Mans 24 Hours of tea making and toast shuffling...

Errands sorted. Also picked up taramasalata, Dickinsons & Morris pork pies, two boxes of breakfast cereal and two bottles of Garnier antibac hand gel on yellow sticker.

If I had to. But my toaster is a simple two slice job, Morphy Richards in case you wanted/didn't want to know.

Slice either side, press lever down, wait until done.
Having ensured it was plugged in and switched on before starting the above.

I use an oven grill as my toaster like Andy but I've never timed optimal toasting. I keep an eye and a nose on it. It usually works.

In a previous flat, the council installed a super sensitive smoke detector which let me know when toast reached 3 to 4 on the toast scale. Grill on, bread in, alarm, poke handy knife at smoke detector, turn toast. I then had to pay attention to the next time the smoke detector went off again because it would be up to 5 on the scale by then.

A lady flagged me down on the comute on the canal earlier. She'd found a decent working rear light and said did I want it. I said I've got loads of lights, so pass it onto the next person you see. !
