We had an unusual soup at the Carew Arms on the way back from Taunton this lunchtime.
Onion and Cider soup.

'Twas very nice.

That does sound weird.

As equally weird as Guiness & Chilli crisps in Aldi yesterday!

Not seen @glasgowcyclist in a while?

Hope that's not another one dropped off his perch

Not just yet! I’ve not been able to find an interior designer in her twenties to see me off, Cyclops-style.

Thanks for the mention though 🍻

Something he said.

It wasn’t something I said. It was the display of the flag of a particular country in my sig line.

Well... I've finished painting the woodwork in the kitchen and hall, plus the walls at the garden end of the kitchen.
Just the business end of the kitchen & hall to emulsion over tomorrow and that'll do for decorating for a while..

Does anyone else have problems with charity bags left outside for collection not being picked up on the day for collection.

This is the third time charity bags has not been collected
Checked the local tip they take clothing..That’s the last time I put out charity bags.

Most of the time, the "charities" they're collecting for, aren't actual charities.
They sell on anything collected, should they ever come back.

No. Too horrendous to contemplate, tbh.
