Talking of sugar reminds me that I found a tin of condensed milk in the larder yesterday. I boiled it up for 3 hours as per instructions and turned it out to cool meaning to put it in the fridge. Before it got there it seems to have vanished and some so and so has just left some dregs on a plate.

plus I cannot get on with presta valves
