My cunning plan to fix the shower valve failed, so I'm consoling myself with a drop of Whisky.

Herrings in cream sauce for supper*, along with cold new potatoes, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and steamed green beans.

* the ones in a tub that you can buy in the Polish aisle

Result, may l ask what you do in HK ? For me HK was the jump off point to the mainland and a crazy time helping set up factories to make furniture for export (to the USA ....shhh)

Teaches ankle biters, I do believe...

All those TV channels you could never watch, gone.

I haven't got a TV.

Twenty five miles ridden. Stayed dry but it's actually very cold. After a month of riding a Moulton or a Brompton, it seems scarily high to ride a my mountain bike again but great for seeing over hedges!

Maybe one day I'll upgrade to a Penny-Farthing

See, you'll never know what you're missing now they've cancelled your Netflix account.

Just think, 46 years ago there was a minor heatwave in this country.
Temperatures reached 40°C!

I’m a primary school teacher. I teach 5-8 year olds.

We should donate a TV to @tyred just so he can see what he's missing on Netflix.

Who'll pay for the Netflix though?

Haven't heard from @rockyroller since a short minute, but I saw some old Hawker Siddeley tube trains on the MBTA and thought of him.

I like the herring in cream sauce (sold in glass jars over here) with some nice crackers. I also like the herring in jars sold with vinegar and sliced onions. Which one is just a matter of which one I’m drawn to while shopping.

By the way, tried your shrooms, cream & tarragon over some pasta (and leftover chicken bits) the other nite. That's a winner. Simple ad deelish.

I also say AYE to Postie's suggestion to elect Reynard as our official food critic. (Come on people you read those yummy food descriptions!) More votes…

Had a lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with extra mature Cheddar and pineapple chutney, and the other with sliced avocado, plus a pear, a tangerine and two

We had a shower of biblical proportions while eating lunch. At least I won't need to water anything this afternoon.

My appointment for root canal work is confirmed for the 20th.😨

I had root canal a month or so ago. Luckily I have a superb dentist.

Don't know which was worse. The root canal or the $hk16,000 (about 1550 quid) bill.

Ask Nadine Dorries for her password.
