Housework done this morning, washing done and bed changed, all I need is a dry day to get it all dried, its piddling down now.

Doggie walk curtailed due to 'Dartmoor drizzle'. I can see why prisoners stayed tucked up in their nice warm cells and not try to escape. It's bleak out there!
Ensconced in the Peter Tavy Inn now, with a very nice pint of Jail Ale and waiting for a chicken and leek pie to arrive.

Moved about 80% of my garage stuff, but it's coming on to and I'm tired and there's another day tomorrow.....hopefully

Is this a competition between you and Mo - who hits the ceiling first?

Re ear wax. My sister in law had this problem when she worked for a ENT consultant. He suggested his own treatment for himself was to very gently use the the blunt/rounded end of a old fashioned hair grip to get the wax out. He also said he never advised his patients to do this because of the very small risk of perforating the ear drum.😟

Spooky! A post of mine a few days ago...

I use a hair grip!

I bent both prongs to restrict how far it can be shoved in and the end makes a good wax scraper. (I am not suggesting that anybody else does this but if you do then don't blame me if you damage your ears. And don't bother suing me either - I am not insured and I am skint! )

Looks good Dirk.
TBH though I am not a big fan of shortcut pastry unless its thin.

Here is a question for yous all.
Lemonade.
I would have thought that, within reason, its all made in a similar way.
So........
Aldi. 17p for the cheap stuff. 39p for their premium stuff.
Spar. 99p a bottle.
Schweppes. £1.89 a bottle.
Sprite. (Maybe a bit better) £2.45 a bottle.
Why ????

Absolutely. Fully agree.
Can't actually see how much filling the pie has and everything looks lovely.
Its just me and short crust pastry.
Actually I am not a big fan of any pastry full stop. The golf club does a lovely hot pot with red cabbage.....I always tell them to leave the pastry off.
