Garage door nearly fell off today. One of the cables has come off.

We need a new garage door but the fact that you can't open it more than 18" is a good security device

Garage door nearly fell off today. One of the cables has come off. Its the original, the other side I replaced a few years ago. Job for after Christmas.

Time for a new garage

I have a white Christmas here, about an inch of snow on the ground, -17C.
At least the wind has died down.

I've made the custard for the trifle, with the help of Mr & Mr Bird, and pressed clingfilm over the surface to stop it skinning up.
When it's cooled a bit ill pour it over the jelly (jello, for our international mundaners).
Whipped cream topping will be lovingly dolloped onto the top in the morning.. 👍


Edit: NB: there will be NO soggy cake in my trifle!! 🤮

One of the wonders of my childhood was how the pink would turn into yellow. I mean, where does the pink go?

Fr. Christmas is bringing a telephoto zoom lens for my Panasonic cameras for Christmas. It is an Olympus lens, but the lens mount is the same.

There is a special room in hell for custard. School and the food criminals convinced me of that.

If you can, go for a remote control jobbie. They take less space and are easier on the back.

It's a sort of chromatography. The pink is made of at least two colours - when they meet a moist medium they diffuse into it at different speeds.
Sort off. I did chemistry and physics when Timothy Whites were a force in the retail market.

I'm quite discustard at all this trifle shaming... 😔

I hope you get your just desserts!!
