On "long commute" days: leaving the last town but one and seeing the French hills in the distance: It always cheers me up...
The view on the way back isn't so shabby either...

I accidentally left my house keys in my door last night, probably from about 7.30pm till I spotted them at 4am. No one took them either through honesty or not spotting them.

Our 6 year old grandaughter absolutely squeeling and laughing with delight as she is transported in virtual reality ride at out campsites entertainments.
I'd pay £3 several times a day just to hear it.

That little black object on the right of the beer can rim is a fruit fly. I have a colony of them thriving in my kitchen. The deceased one must've fancied a drink and er, died happy!

I used to culture them for poison dart frogs I used to keep. They were all over the house so sold up my set up. Miss those little frogs.

No, that's an Eccles cake!🧐
That is a completely different thing.
A tea-cake is a bread-like bun with fruit (currants, raisins or sultanas) distributed throughout. And Eccles cake is a pastry case with a currant filling.

It depends on where you live or came from. Around here tea-cakes are usually white, but also brown bread, about large saucer to small plate sized and about 1.5 inch thick. The local bakers/confectioners put a decent amount of fat in to keep them soft and tastier. Shop/supermarket bought ones tend to lack fat and end up crumbly and dry.

wondering what you were doing outside your house at 4am - casing a joint?
