Seems I left in the nick of time...

Acetone is a great thing for melting polystyrene. You end up with a bit of goo in the bottom of the bucket.. You can use petrol if you don't have any acetone.

That bad, huh?



Guess they're catering for Mr & Mrs Average and make stuff that sells. Well, that skit on "Goodness Gracious Me" just about covers it LOL... I like my food to taste of what's actually in it, and I have to admit that I delight in rich, punchy flavours.

I’m with you, but mass market products can’t be too polarising :-/

Well I managed it and it brought a tear to my eyes. It wasn't half cold!
I only did 7 miles. I found it harder than when I cycled out the other day despite the lower gearing and the smaller wheels. I'll have to check to see what the difference is.

Welcome to CC's feline family, sweetpea!

Yeah, true. No good making stuff that doesn't sell, hence a lot of things have to be inoffensive to a typical palate. But I really want a cheese sauce to taste of, well, cheese...

Makes me wonder exactly what sort of food Mr & Mrs Average eats tho...

That was an afternoon spent sawing logs with a chainsaw. Well, two chainsaws as the electric one decided not to play ball, so had to switch to the petrol one half way through.

Now sat down with a nice hot

Delicate negotiations have taken place. There are casual glances in each other's direction, followed by turning away and pretending to ignore the other kittizen. Kitts made a sort of low short growl, but nothing agressive. Then Bob went out. I need someone with advanced skills in cat body language.

 

[Reynard]

Sounds promising, but take it slowly. Would recommend you get either a Feliway plugin or a Pet Remedy diffuser just to smooth things along a bit. I'm assuming you've exchanged blankets / bedding to get Kitts and Bob used to each other's scent.

Mrs Salad and I have not been dodging salads lately. We have eaten loads of them. So much so that she has lost a stone and a half, and I have lost a stone.

The weight reduction program (which has been achieved by cutting right down on carbs) continues, but tonight we had a lovely chicken casserole. With no potatoes or dumplings, but with lashings of veg in it. On a wet horrible night, it was lovely!

Todays the day I change broadband suppliers, from origin to First Utility, when I got to the end of the deal with Origin they just started to charge full price, £17 a month to £28 a month, First utility are £19 a month. I might be off line at some point.

So far no problems. I connected the router before we left for the club, when we got back from the club I turned on the computer connected to the internet and it connected no problem, I found the wireless network signed in and it connected no problem both with the phone and tablet. First impressions are that the First Utility connection is a bit more solid and a lively than origin was, they always felt as if they were only just connected and were prone to the occasional drop out.

Er no. Bob sleeps where he likes, without a blanket. I have, however, transferred my scent to Kitts.

Kitts has a comfy chair in the dining room, and places to hide behind.

They both smell the same now anyway, a strong smell of flea spray.

Always learning.

LOL, if they smell the same, then that's a bonus.

The girls do like their blankets and beds. Mostly. Right now Lexi is sprawled in the one she won for BOC at the Supreme, while Poppy is curled up on the fur throw on my bed.
