On another thread, (about hijacking threads, if you want to find it) this was suggested as a potential thread title - each post to have nothing whatever to do with the previous one I though that a very good idea, but no-one seems to have taken it up and started one, so here goes. Not a conversation, no sequencing, totally non sequiturs.

Supermarket potatoes are sprouting faster than I can cook and eat them!

I've only recently discovered Nutella. Isn't it gorgeous. Now I must find a way of not eating it all at once. Will power, please!

Our winters seem to get longer each year I hate the damp and wet weather.

I've had a good morning. Made a few changes in the kitchen /garden room and the first floor sitting room. Feeling very pleased with my efforts smile

If you have a car breakdown.
Put hazards on immediately
Swiftly get everyone out of the car with your bag and phone ( which will be on the passenger seat won’t it and not thrown on the back seat) 5 minutes is too long.
Get away from the car, over barrier if there is one.
Put hi vis jackets on
If no barrier then you need to be a long way from the vehicle at the side.
DoNot stand in front or behind car.
Get help.
Speed is of the essence.
DD broke down yesterday , did all the right things, as she was phoning for help a truck drove into her car and wrote it off.
Shocked but safe and well.

PS, she was on a dual carriageway.

I had a random thought but somewhere between the thread loading and me typing it escaped from my brain

How can we have blue sky, sunshine and hail all at once?

Today I must drill holes in the bottom of new garden pots.
I am quite scared of my electric drill.

Today I navigated the city streets to re-fuel the car and while at the store, got the last pack of English asparagus

My second jab today smile

I can hear DH vacuuming. I am still in bed looking at GN.

henetha Mon 10-May-21 10:16:00

Why don't they sell big garden pots with holes already in them?
This is annoying.

Just watching the news from a Brothel in Germany, closed due to Covid, but all OK as they are ‘furloughed’.............

I am grazing on toasted hazelnuts. Someone stop me please!!!

Puzzler61 Mon 10-May-21 13:03:34

I wish these rain showers would stop. My washing is going in and out like the Hokey Cokey!

Mollygo Mon 10-May-21 13:34:05

The sun came out, we set off on our walk! The heavens opened!
2 miles seemed much longer on the way back than on the way out and we didn’t even make the snack bar for coffee!?

I just had a cup of tea with a scone, butter and jam. I’ll have to have my dinner a bit later now, so there’ll be room in there.

DanniRae Mon 10-May-21 18:11:21

Why do bras that have been comfortable all day suddenly get really tight? Do we expand as the day goes on? hmm

Aldom Mon 10-May-21 22:07:04

After reading the Golden syrup thread I've just eaten a delicious Lyle's golden syrup sandwich. The first since I was a child!grin

Why do my fingernails grow so much faster than my toenails?
Why did chemo take every hair off my head, including eyebrows, but leave my legs like a hayfield?

henetha Tue 11-May-21 10:30:57

I had a vivid dream last night that I had a black cat. Does this mean something?

Aveline Tue 11-May-21 10:45:33

I might do a washing today. Its all go!

Callistemon Tue 11-May-21 10:46:44

We just had another hailstorm, now it's sunny again!

ninathenana Tue 11-May-21 10:57:40

Sun is out but I'm waiting for the repair man to phone and say he's got the part for my machine ?

DD2 was upset to be outbid on a corner bookshelf, photographed on the owners driveway.?

DD2 was delighted when she realised that her £35.00 bid was on a Dolls House Miniature !! ?
