Things started off well on that new old frame and then went a bit pear shaped. I also went out and washed off the decorations the Black Headed Gulls managed to put on my car yesterday. Of all the cars in the car park they had to choose mine.

Showing my ignorance but is that a lamb shaped thing made of sugar

Yes, indeed. A bit like this...

You make a sugar syrup that you take to the hard ball stage, then you beat it like you do fudge, and pour that into a mould and let it cool. My problem is that I don't have the right kind of mould made out of glazed ceramic. I'm using a cast aluminium mould normally used to make a cake one.

Why is it that Highways England can get tarmac laid on the A38 in the dead of night when nobody wants to use it, but National Grid can't dig a hole in the central reservation without closing a lane when everyone and their mother is trying to get to and from work?

Morning. My wife burnt some pop corn in a saucepan last night, apart from creating a new form of glue the kitchen doesn't half honk!

Febrieze is your friend.

The worst thing I ever did was set the microwave for 20 minutes instead of 2 minutes for a packet of microwave fries when my kids were small. I only bought them once! The smell was unimaginably nauseating.

Just listened to the latest episode of The Lost Hancocks on R4, while cooking my tea. It was immensely unfunny, and not worth resurrecting, I thought.

I've been listening to them, they're a bit hit n miss, whoever is playing KW is not very good.

Who invented duvets? I've just been wrestling with one that was being plain awkward. I'm sure if they put an inflatable liner inside , a bit like the emergency slides on airliners. A quick plug into a compressor and it would sort itself out.

Isn't Neil Pearson something to do with them?

I believe he found the old scripts in a box and produces the "lost shows "

Apparently, 27% of pet ferrets are kept in London and the South East, while Yorkshire has a mere 7%

One of my kids (a grown up one) is playing with their food.... they selected just the amount of each they needed to decorate their plate

So, after 2 years of cycling, I have has my first accident. I was coming over the Bourgwalk Bridge and a group of teenagers were stood talking on the pedestrian side of the bridge. One of them stepped back on to the cycle path, I shouted and swerved to avoid him and crashed into the bridge. I have a sore wrist and knee but the main thing is that Maude is okay.
