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’m heading for the freezer for a mint Magnum.

Ive just had a strawberry cornetto.

I started cutting back some brambles this morning but it's too hot so I stopped.

For the first time in about 15 months I am going to go in a clothes shop today. I will be careful.

I buy live mealworms but yes, caution still needed.

Back to random unrelated now…

Sorry, that was too relevant, and against the thread rules.

Chop the mealworms up, Juliet, and maybe soak them a bit. The dried ones are too big for the chicks as they are and could choke them. The mother blackbird would find nice juicy caterpillars and grubs for them.

‘My’ male blackbird who sang so beautifully seems to have gone missing ? and the female is having to feed her brood alone. I’ve bought mealworms to help her out.

I am going non food shopping today with my daughter - first time in 15 months! (I just hope I have the energy in this heat to keep up with her.)

I’m helping my bDGS revise GCSE maths. He’s doing fractions. ?
Anyone else remember ‘turn the divisor upside down and multiply? He

If I was a reptile I would be a tortoise. They do things in their own time and live for many many years.

It looks like there is lots of football coming up. Good luck to those who like it, but hmm

I really don't fancy the idea of school reunions.
I have one good friend from secondary school and I'd be happy if I met any of the others but the idea of getting together all at once seems really weird to me.

Just watched birds flying over gracefully. If I was a bird I’d probably just sit puffed up on a perch all day

Took a vow of abstinence from cakes, biscuits, sweets and chocolates in an effort to get rid of some lock down flab.

Discovered some pain au chocolate in the freezer.... don't think it fits into any of those categories...

The suns only just come out so other half has gone in to the garden to listen to test match special on his solar radio!

I've been on a walk with two friends, followed by a delicious lunch at a country pub.

I have been trying to renew my driving licence online and failing. The online form is designed like an exam. You are not told why they can't accept your details! This is a random rant!! angry

NotAGran55 Thu 10-Jun-21 14:54:54

I have just renewed my passport and wonder when it might be used again?

Tackled a mountain of ironing just now and found a 'bump' in a dress pocket which turned out to be a scrunched up tissue - how it didn't go walk-about and make a complete bitty mess of the entire wash I can't fathom but am so glad it didn't.

Clammy day today so I was pleased to hear from Amazon that they're delivering a parcel between 1 and 4 pm. Great excuse to stay in!

Marmight Thu 10-Jun-21 11:29:46

New washing machine just delivered. Now to work out how to operate it ?
