Lovely supper of sausages, new potatoes with chive butter, and minted carrots.

My 🍅 shaped kitchen timer broke yesterday.
As it was really cheap when I bought it it in 2018, I've ordered another one for £4 🍅

My previous kitchen timer went in the recycling bin in B&Q en route to Aldi this evening. Still counted down but had gone mute.

I have a 1960s clockwork kitchen timer made by Smiths Instruments. With a proper hammer & bell (like an alarm clock) mechanism.

I also have several novelty ones. Including a cat and an orange.

My 🍅 ceased to measure minutes as 60 seconds. It made time speed up tenfold!

The opposite of what happens to time at a black hole, then...

Jigsaw-pieces bench is built and I only bashed the newly re-built finger once . It actually looks like the photo in the advert:

Do all your flowers smell like Radox? 🤔

No, but they're going to have lovely soft leaves thanks to a current combination of Nivea Men Sensitive shower gel & Wash & Go shampoo/conditioner in the water

@Jenkins - you may find that the chemical-tainted water has the opposite effect, killing your flowers.

Kit-Kat clock?

Beautiful, but missing something...

 

[Reynard]

I have just turned two tired-looking oranges (one sweet, one Seville), a zested lemon and a slightly sub-par chunk of root ginger into an impending small batch of marmalade. Fruit is now set to soak overnight prior to cooking.

This is how we roll chez Casa Reynard.

I don't like wasting food, and this turns a potential problem into something tasty and useful.

Kit-Kat clock?

Alas not.

Time to put the writing away, turn off the light and get some sleep.

Nunnight one and all xxx
