I've decided that the best way to stop biscuits going soft or losing their flavour is to eat them all in one sitting.

Have you got a biscuit tin, or two? One for plain biskits and one for biskits with a cream filling.

BT are creating a lot of interest around here lately . The other day we had the vans back for them to put up some more wires . They came again the next day with 3 vans and tightened up the cables . This morning 2 vans arrived and they connected up another cable and left it in a roll tied to the pole . Just now we had a chap walking around with what looks like a fishing rod . I suppose it is to check the height of the cables .

Very often, when I need to press 2 or 4 or whatever for one of umpty-two options, the first press does not register on the phone. Pressing it twice gives the number, and then it shows on the screen. I was told once by someone (very helpful) that lots of people have this problem with their landline.

It sounds like you need a new phone.

Time for lunch time stroll out in the cold

Nippy out, taken the outside Christmas Lights down in my lunch break. Conservatory was all 'shuffled' about over the break, and I'm now sat in a different position - laptop and monitors taking over the dining table again. On a plus note, I received a second 'soundcore motion boom' speaker this morning and both are now 'linked' for full stereo sound (birthday pressie).

Been for a walk round local lake. It’s cold enough for a beanie again.

Feel a bit better after having some lunch. Wholemeal toast with pate, a persimmon, a tangerine and two

I need to fill the wood bins in the house and clean the litter trays, and then I shall turn my notes and mental musings, or at least attempt to, into some actual writing.

There is a new series of Antiques Road Trip at tea time.

That reminds me, I need to fill the biscuit barrel, as it's empty.

It was a bit nippy @ 3° C but we soon warmed up..

I try not to buy biskits, as they all get eaten too quickly.

It may only be the long-term residents of this thread that spell "Biskits" that way. I think it may have been @Chuffy who started the trend.

I'm fine - as long as I don't actually open a packet. Then they just seem to mysteriously disappear...

Thanks to this thread, I now write chocolate suggestives on my shopping list, to go alongside the breen and spouts. If I ever drop my list and someone picks it up to read, they'll definitely think I've lost the plot...

Steak and Kiddley Pie?

Steak and Kiddley Pie?

Not pies, but I sometimes do buy kiddleys as I like them either devilled or fried with bacon.

Anyways, m'off to do some more tidying. I am just doing it in short bursts, and the house is starting to look much tidier. Still rather full of "stuff" that needs to go to a Charity shop or the tip.

As for the garage . But it needs to be warmer before I tackle that. I might take a "before" picture. The council have suspended their bulky collection service, and there is an old, very old, mattress that needs to go.

There is also about one ton of scrap metal that needs a new home. Probably to be re-homed at the Engineering department in the nearest town.

There's a hail shower in progress.
