We've run out of Kavanagh's 😯
(I always add a scoop to my bread flour when baking, adds a bit of crunch to the crust)
Managed to get some Waitrose "essentials" porridge delivered, makes great porridge 👍
We make ours with Oatmilk, a couple of scoops in a bowl, cover with oatmilk and leave overnight to soak. Slice half a banana into the bowl before microwaving.
It's the most porridgy porridge I've ever tasted 👍
Ah great. Thanks we have a Sainsbury's on the opposite side of the road to one of the local ALDIs so I can legitimately pop in. I make mine in the morning with 40g of oats and 300g of water adding a spoon of honey and one of creme fraiche when it's ready - really good and creamy.

Clearly we have no dressmakers in the house. She was having trouble getting the hem straight so I had to put the dress on while Mrs P pinned the hem.

I hope none of you had other ideas.

What consenting adults choose to do, in the privacy of their own house, is no concern of ours ;)

I know we have porridge conniseurs in here. Recommendations please.
Good old Scott's Porridge Oats for me. It's bubbling away at the moment. Just back a hilly 7 mile walk. Very pleasant.

The New Zealand flat worm are a real menace as the destroy the native worms by wrapping themselves around the worm and then desolving it.
They are also very difficult to get rid of. I laid slabs on the soil and checked every day as that is the sort of place they lurk. Do not pick them up with your bare hands tho' as the corrosive coating they have causes caustic type burns on your fingers. As I mentioned earlier one got out of a jar covered in clingfilm and secured with a rubber band so not easily contained. I burned them to make sure of secure disposal.
