Puzzle game procrastinator!
June 2019 we were flying back from Portugal with easyJet. It was announced no nut based snacks would be served as someone on board was allergic.
What would they do about trains, buses, taxis, shops, bars, restaurants or anywhere else that there might be/have recently been people who were eating/had eaten things with nuts in? :wacko:

The cost of getting the aircraft down, safely, is more than just pulling up at the side of the road/next station and awaiting an ambulance though.

You'd have thought that the filters for the recirculated air would be able to cope with it though.

Our son is visiting today....all the way from sunny Nottingham.
He hasn't seen his Mum for months so obviously not since her problems showed up.......so he is biting the bullet.
Food could be the problem we have been living off ready meals recently (very naughty I know).

Good day. It's another glorious morning in Lancashire, what else would you expect. Clear blue skies, brilliant sunshine and feckin' cold. Very hard frost and -1⁰ at the moment.

I've declined the chance to ride. "Let's go later when it's warmed up." Met Office is showing a "feels like" of -5⁰ now, -3⁰ at 10.00 rising to 0⁰ at 3.00pm!!! Warms up?:blink:

I will paint the garage walls today. I have a new seat post which needs fitting and I'm contemplating taking the mudguards off my Kinesis. Can't decide on that one.

Possibly a couple of trips to the tip.

Pretty much the same weather down here in Dorset.

Barnet,
Good morning all fellow retirees.
A lovely bright, sunny, frosty start to the day here.
Another long walk with the dog soon, and then out on the bike for a while with a stop at the fishmonger in the market. MrsP wants some salmon for dinner today. I also fancy some mussels, so I will call in to somewhere to get a bottle of dry white wine and some cream. :hungry:
Our son is cycling over later, so a few things to be getting on with.
Busy busy busy.:okay:
Stay safe everyone :cuppa:

Just a casual thought.......I'd be inclined to pop in somewhere and buy some salmon and mussels. 🤔

I must think about tea as well, which means ferreting around in the freezer. Why do we say that? How is searching for something known as ferreting around? Another great imponderable for today.

A question for you.
Less than a week ago I would get excellent views of the moon from the front bedroom (south west).......this at 05.30.
Then we had some cloudy nights so no moon to see.
Yesterday and this morning have been really clear.... but no sign of Mr moon.
I wasn't going to go outside in my PJs at -3° to look for it.
I realise it 'moves' from day to day but to disappear from view in 4 days ???
