So long as within GN rules, post what you like!
About whatever subject you like!
No thread police or bossiness or pedantics here! Here's hoping.

I am being a bit tongue in cheek.
But I for one am geuinely interested in hearing what others are thinking.

So go for it on here!
Within GN rules of course.

No idea how the thread will go. But hey ho.
If no one posts, nothing lost.
I will have learnt that this type of thread is not needed.

Yes, a nice mediterranean climate. sigh.

I wouldnt mind it being a bit warmer in the Uk sometimes.
South of France about right all year round temperatures?
Or Madeira perhaps?

A friend who lives in N America just posted a pic on Facebook of his snow covered house and garden with the words

Left Adelaide at 39°C / 102° F, home to -2° C / 27°F.

Makes me glad I live in UK.

A new cat is better than a veg box kircubbin smile, I hope he or she settles in well.

I've been surrounded by men all week. Some to cut branches from the trees, some to install fibre and now the gardeners are here.

kirkubbin I read your post as ‘no veg boxes left, so I ordered a cat’ grin

kircubbin2000 Thu 23-Feb-23 10:43:51

I went down to Lidl to get these £2.50 veg boxes but they were all gone.
I've ordered a new cat ,arriving this evening if the vet oks him. Exciting times.

What a good plan Aldom. You are right, I must share this cake. Problem solved grin

Aldom Thu 23-Feb-23 10:39:50

Henetha why not work out how many slices the Stollen will cut into, then invite a similar number of friends for coffee /tea? Problem solved, no waste or inches on your waist. grin

henetha Thu 23-Feb-23 10:17:43

I have a serious problem. I am trying to lose weight and not eat cake etc. But I found a Stollen left over from Christmas and still edible as the sell by date is March. Oh the dilemma!
(confession, I ate one slice yesterday)

It’s the fault of Brexit. It’s blamed for every problem going so why not the public transport in Melbourne 😄

Marydoll Thu 23-Feb-23 09:04:26

I will persevere, Wyllow*! 😉

Wyllow3 Thu 23-Feb-23 08:35:06

practice makes perfect, Marydoll?

Marydoll Thu 23-Feb-23 08:32:26

Why after five years of not being allowed alcohol, due to medication contra indications and being told I can now have a small glass of wine, I'm not interested! 😕

Oreo Thu 23-Feb-23 08:18:06

Have to queue for the bus to work in the rain soon😩☔️💦💦
Buses always late when it rains.

Oreo Thu 23-Feb-23 08:14:06

For brekkie am having a fried bacon roll and coffee😃

Just got back from a lovely Pacific cruise to the godawful public transport system in Melbourne. Really, really bad and we had to ask fellow passengers to find out that trains were not running and we had to get buses. No communication whatsoever and no one to say where you actually got the bus. However, the Uber system at the other end was fantastic, no waiting, much better than regular mucky taxis.

Oh, now, I’m not a saint! I’m not eating in the evening, but I’m not giving up the drink!

It’s a Lent thing, but I’m very much hoping it’ll help shift the extra pounds I put on over Christmas and still haven’t got rid of. smile

I am just not listening to tales of Danish pastries, cake, ice cream and chocolate…..envy

Cabbie21 Wed 22-Feb-23 21:49:29

I have just polished off the last piece of Christmas cake! I am always hungry after choir practice.

Wyllow3 Wed 22-Feb-23 21:33:37

Not just wine, but a hot small danish pastry found in the yellow sticker section...wink

Why Maggie that sounds like hell ?

It certainly does, no choc or ice cream ? Your halo will be blinding us all after that smile
