The "chutney" I had with some left-over turkey was "Caramelised Red Onion Chutney" from Waitrose. Very nice, sharp but no overly "vinegary" taste.

Mmmmm, well I tend to avoid such places when out and about. I'm the sort of person who takes her own pack-up.

We do unless it's fish and chips .

Fray Bentos "all day breakfast" pie for tea, never had one before so not sure what to have it with.

A medical crash cart on standby perhaps?

A good chutney needs to be tangy, not vinegary. Usually, that's achieved by letting the chutney mature for at least a month prior to use.

I have made chutney from things like gooseberries and morello cherries, but they were sour to the point of being inedible. Likewise, I found a banana chutney to be much too sweet. You tend to hit the sweet spot (!) when it comes to chutney with things like tomatoes, apples, stone fruit (apricots, peaches, nectarines), onion, and pineapple.

Anyways, it's almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

Good work. Thanks.

Cats fed.

I'm going for the lazy option of soup & sandwiches in a bit. And there's some cake.

I have replaced zips in trousers, and "turned" a collar.

Yes I agree, it is very useful to sew properly or even just sew on buttons and darn socks.

Does anyone darn socks these days I remember my mum darning my woolly socks.She had a mushroom shaped thing she pushed down the sock .Can’t remember what it was called Think it was darning something or other.Made darning easier Darning probably went out when synthetics came in

I wasn't allowed to eat fast food while growing up, so if I could sneak out and have a McDonalds, then I would. Pocket money allowing, of course. And forbidden fruit (or food) always tastes better...

Now I'm not so fussed, but it's an affordable bite to eat, especially if you go for their "wrap of the day" - and as @Speicher says, they're often open when other places aren't.

Wimpy bars were the fast food choice in my youth Burger followed by Apple pie and cream

I have a and one of those Mr Kipling winter whirl things.

He does make exceedingly good cakes Or so the adverts say

We don't, socks are cheap and last for several years, we just replace them when they're too knackered.

I actually find them on the sweet side for my taste, but since I only paid 25p a box on yellow sticker, I'm not going to complain.

Wouldn't pay the full whack for them though.

Had tomato soup, smoked mackerel pate on toast and then raspberries for afters.

So much for yesterday's sunshine - the sky has returned to its traditional grey colouring. I think this afternoon may be spent shredding some old paperwork, bills, etc.

Tomorrow is non-recyclable bin day so I must remember to put that out later this evening.

Did you make the most of this years summer?

I have just washed my work uniform for the last time.
