Yes and Yes, I even buy dried Shitake Mushrooms (lovely in a Risotto)

I love getting the large open cup field mushrooms and filling them with garlic butter or blue cheese stuffed in them.

I make a stuffing from Peanuts (Raw ones) Onion, Garlic, Butter and a few Mushrooms all finely chopped for those big field Mushrooms (Portobello) works great in Sweet Peppers too.

You probably are.

In all seriousness, you have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents and so on. Genghis Khan lived about 800 years ago, or 40 generations. If you go back 40 generations you have approximately 11 million ancestors in that 40th generation. There were 300 million people on the planet then, approx. Take away those living in Africa and the Americas and there's a decent chance that you have him in your lineage (particularly as he managed to breed with alacrity).

I wonder at what point in time it goes back the other way?

Nothing to worry about, just resetting The Matrix in your area.

My boss retires next Thursday.

Too soon or not soon enough?

In more parcel news, some earplugs (thank you neighbours!) I ordered for despatch on the 11th, have been sent from the Netherlands to Milan, after which I have no idea. If anybody sees them, please let me know.

Circa 10 to 12 years ago I rescued a Brother laser printer from the skip at work...it looked brand new. It was the MDs sons and had a fault light on it so they threw it away. I did the homework and got it going, it's never shown a fault again although it only gets very very occasional use.
Last night we printed off loads of dot to dot aids for children to learn to shape letters, our grandson has just started reception school and is struggling.
Tonight we introduced him to them and he loved it.
It's still on the original cartridge. Thanks goes to my former employer for their wastefulness.

I'm just having mushrooms and 'Cornish Brie' on toast. I didn't know Brie was also made in Cornwall.

Cornish brie is my favourite brie.

I managed to do 40 and that was with about 10 stops in between. 50 next time though!

Cornish brie is my favourite brie.

It was ok,but a bit too mild for me. I like 'super strength' Cheddar,Danish Blue and Stilton.

I was diagnosed with a torn ligament in my left thumb on Tuesday at the fracture clinic. I should have had it repaired today but there were too many on the list so my operation is postponed until next week It is a lot more comfortable now that it's in a plaster cast. Right thumb is also damaged and I have a removal splint for it.
I'm finding new ways of doing things, with my fingers, teeth even my feet!
