Just put two towels oot to dry. Eye had already dropped a nut oot me bedroom window to him. Timed it just right to get oot to the line before his return. He appeared on me slabs by me burd baff and spottid me. Turned sideways to watch. Eye frow'd a nut towards him from 40 foot. Rolled half way to him and he went after it. Then went the furthest way round me pots and under me naybors fence. Bingo. Stud around watching nay chair ferrabit but din't see him come back. 6 months ago if eye opened me kitchen door with a squirrel 80 foot away at the bottom ov me garden it would be oft straight away.

What about a clamp on the bar to pull it in?Morning All.
Been out already vandalising a local car park with pavement chalk (it comes off in the rain on Thursday).
I have been Trying to measure the turning circle of the trike. It's huge >26'
Hard to measure because without 2 hands on the bars it is always trying to straighten out from the turn.
I need a 3rd arm/contraption to hold the chalk to the ground as I go along.
Have a good day.
Then when you are done you have a clamp to use on other projects.

The filters ain't free though are they? And they must need changing or recharging or summat.I bet if you haven't had water for 5 days you would and it free
Not knocking it in the slightest and it must still be cheaper than being locked into a contract with a water supplier.
In Frogland they is clever, if you want to use your own well or spring for drinking water you have to get it tested every year, and the cost of that is much the same as being connected. We know one couple who use a spring plus bottled water so they are completely off grid for water and sewage. But the cost of bottled water, must be "eye-watering"!

Freshly ground 'erbs in a mortar and pestle really make the oregano etc give of their best. I pop them in with sautéed veg as well, things like our home grown courgettes, aubergines, shallots etc. We grow all our herbs in pots just by the front door.

I fink you'd need to coat them in oil and I'd parboil em too.
Not using the air fryer so much now as it is such a pain to clean and if I put it in the DW the ptfe starts to flake off.
Tis old though, I bet newer ones are betterer.

...... that we bottled all the Creme de Cassis yessdi or was it Fridi?
anyway, 7 botts. We've tasted it and it isn't as good as we've made before, more like Ribena even though it had 4 botts of vodka in it and we didn't cook it in any way. This to avoid what happened last time where it ended up so gloopy-like that we couldn't even pour it out of the botts.
Went to put it away in the wine store and came across 4 old botts.
Very surprised to find two from 2022, which I expected but also 2 from 2019. the first and successful time we made it.
So of course had to open one. Flip me! Nectar of the gods!!! Really lovely.
W is hoping that the one we have just made will go darker and stronger, but I doubt it.

Just some of the jam we have been making recently.
Mostly blackcurrant, but I think there may be some white currant in there too, the latter is jelly rather than jam.
