Go Mum!
Mum was shopping at Aldi today and happened to run into the same very unattractive and unprepossessing middle-aged bloke several times on the way through. On the third occasion he asked her quite seriously if she was trying to pick him up.
Mum said, 'Good heavens, no. I've got enough troubles,' and walked off.

Apples!
I love apples, especially Fujis from the farmers market, but I'm not a big fan of cooked apple in general (my apologies to apple pie fans.) Sometimes though, we'll get apples that aren't very interesting or forget a few in the fridge and what do we do with them? Occasionally Mum would make applesauce and just … no, thank you ( Read more... ) -

Oh, sweep out the old ...
Storm, some rain, a cool breeze, and the temperature had dropped after days of 40+C. I'll take this blessed cool as an auspicious start to the new year and not think about the weather forecast!

Happy New Year!

Wheee ...
Veuve Clicquot is a superb champagne. I knew the risks of drinking but damned if I wasn't going to try some.

The Last Jedi
It was at least 45C today. NOT OKAY. I gave up after a few hours when the words of my book stopped making sense and just lay on my bed with a damp towel draped over me. A couple of hours later Mum came in and said, 'Get up, there's a breeze outside! A cool breeze!' And there was and there is and it's wonderful but it's still going to be 40something ( Read more... ) -
Snowflake - Day 3
Day 3
In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create.
A friend recently hooked me up with Netflix and I watched both seasons of Stranger Things in three days. I love The Party, Winona Ryder is fantastic, Jonathan/Nancy/Steve is my OT3 and I laughed myself silly over babysitter!Steve at the end of S2. He was ( Read more... )
