No worries. It's a "soft touch" lid . I'm sure the manufacturers will accept it for refurbishment in the event of damage. Anyway, after use, it's reassuring that one can get rid of nasty smells using a pack of these......

Nuclear weapons are one thing, but those are beyond the pale. Or should that be pail.

I've just tried to put the kettle away in the fridge.

No room?

I know it's bin day. But which one?

I'll have to ask the wife.

...

She says grey, and it's tomorrow, though I'm to put it out tonight.

Its bonkers, normal routine I'm up about half seven and my Good Lady is up about nine. With her being unwell the last few weeks she's been restless at night and up and about early. Today for the first time she's slept right through and has slept in, and I'm worried about her.

It’s a bit chilly out there...

A bit .... I'm still defrosting!!! (Though I saw more than one lunatic wearing shorts!!!)

So we finally got a paramedic to him who said he had a uneven heart beat and he was cold...he reused to go to hospital!!

I'm tired

They don't take them all on the same day?

Bloomin' here today. Needed the while I was out. Now sat down with a nice

You know the weather's pretty ghastly when even Lexi doesn't want to go out. Think she managed all of half an hour this morning. Poppy didn't go out at all.

Baked the Ingwer Polsen - they're really lush. Fruity, spicy and then with a hefty of ginger right at the end. Made a batch of Pfeffernusse dough today, and that's now chilling in the fridge. I love christmas baking.

Not always. It's why some are "colour coded".

Sounds lovely but I think your post is missing some photos... and maybe some explanations about the traditions that go with it

Just had cold liver and bacon for lunch... it was really yummy!

Love it but cold just sounds wrong.

Eh, well I have German ancestry. Not much need to explain the tradition of Weinachtskleingeback... This involves making lots of Lebkuchen and Spekulatius, not much of which actually survives till Christmas.

In the mean time, here's some pics of Lebkuchen I made for a Cats Protection do

Not enough trucks? I must add that we have both a garbage truck and a recycling truck, and the recycling bins are yellow lidded, and the garbage is brown lidded, like the rest of the bin.

My Auntie used to make Aachner printen lebkuchen with honey, as the sugar beet sugar was not necessary. The beet sugar was a result of Napoleon embargoing trade with the U.S., the worlds main producer of honey at the time, but in the States we still used honey.
