I had to!! There's a box of them staring at me across the room...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ah yes.

One of those.

I can't really grasp the cherry bakewell conundrum. Perhaps you should squeeze it until you've popped your own cherry. But that's probably not the correct answer.

Meanwhile, after sending my daughter 2 cases of bubbly for Christmas, she's just sent me a round robin email to sponsor her for some kind of dryathlon. I gather it's one of those fundraising things. But I'm left to ponder whether I should pay for her drinking and then pay for her not drinking. That's my conundrum.

Always good to have a 'Plan'B''

I'm in the mood for some cheese & biscuits.

There's loads of cheese in the fridge and I bought a big box of crackers on clearance today.

I had some 'cave cheddar' from somewhere in southwest just yesterday... Really excellent. The cave must have somehow enhanced the cheese. Top marks.

 

[Reynard]

I have a piece of something like that in the fridge.

On my crackers I have some bleu de bresse, cream cheese with horseradish and some leerdammer.

A word of warning you four who liked the 'cave cheese' story! I recently bought some overpriced Alex James ( the Blur bassist) goats cheese from Alderley Edge and it was anything but top drawer. I am assuming there are no caves on his farm?

As of Monday, I may now ride a bike with a tail light instead of a reflector,and I may ride on the shoulder of the state highways as well.

Wouldn't it matter what sort of rock the caves were made of? Like limestone versus granite? Although from what I've been able to figure out, goat cheese is goat cheese.

Quite possibly. I would also hazard a guess that temperature, humidity and whether bats roost or not needs to be factored into this abstract equation.

A wheelie hero on a scooter chased after me and whacked me on the back of the head outside the Hammersmith Apollo this evening. No harm done except a lost visor from my helmet. He roared off poncing about as before. Out of curiosity, I filled in the Met's online crime reporting form. It took twenty minutes, and as I was about to press the submit button, the whole shebang disappeared. At that point I thought "WTF", and went to the fridge for a beer. Crime figures must be down this year.

Seeings that a goodly percentage of the cheese that I buy tends to be on yellow sticker (have had a bonanza of late) at least I can be brutally honest about it without having to worry about the price tag. Have had some good ones, have had some clunkers.

Price doesn't always guarantee a good bit of cheese - two of the nicer ones I've had recently have been at the cheaper end of the scale. I can highly recommend Lidl's own brand Gorgonzola (the dolce) and the Co-op's cheddar with caramelized onions.

Just as well you wore a helmet!

That's another three trees felled and turned into logs.

@Reynard is this your back yard?.....

Schrodie was inventing games for himself this morning playing with a peanut which he then placed in his box and tried to reach through a hole in the side. You could see him coming up with different ideas of where to place it and how to attack it from different positions.
This was fine until he got bored and started attacking Gwen. I wish the weather would improve, the cats are getting bored.
