Tea? (Part 2)

[TheDoctor]

*passes tea in northerly direction*
I was once camping up near John O'Groats at this time of year. IIRC it got a bit twilighty around 1 am, for an hour or so. I hate to think what it's like in mid-December...

Monring all! Porridge and fruit has been consumed. I am requiring of fortification with a mug of tea before I soak the plants.

"Ningles" as the expression goes.



Another question for compost corner. I went to use some flour recently, and was surprised to see some very small black wiggly things in it.

I do not intend using the flour, can I put it in the compost bin? I presume the wiggley wotsits are mealworm. It is wholegrain flour so they must have sneaked in without a permit. The flour and wiggles are in a sealed container, so they will not have invaded the rest of the cupboard.

Secondly, my compost bin lacks one of those aerator bases, which supposedly increases ventilation and drainage. I have three garden pots which were damaged, and cracked beyond use. The remains of which lurk in the garage. Can I use the broken bits to improve drainage etc. I am reluctant to buy a (recycled) plastic base if I can reuse something else.
Thank you for your help.

 

[TheDoctor]

The flour will be fine in a breadmaker, and will give your loaf some valuable added protein.
You may find it has a slightly 'lively' flavour.

 

[Speicher]

And will there be a germ in what I ate?

 

[wafflycat]

The only non-vegetable matter that I put in the compost bin is pee. The only non-veg stuff in there is what arrives 'naturally'

As for bottoms...

My bins sit on the earth - no ventilated bottom. The compost bin gets to be full of worms - and in the case of one, bummlers...

 

[TheDoctor]

I has wine fer much too drunk.
The round is rooming go.
Tea has not helped. Oh dear I don't feel well....

Morning!

Sorry Doc - I'll say that more quietly to minimise pain in your head

*morning!*

Went to see Sex & The City 2 with MrWC last night. We both enjoyed it - it's silly, it has some laugh out loud bits. It's definitely a chick-flick, but don't tell anyone... there's a load of blokes go to watch it too! It's silly, fun, escapism with wonderful clothes.. sigh. And the wedding is marvellous. It's worth it for the wedding scenes alone.

 

[TheDoctor]

No pain in the head this morning.
Drinking large amounts of water and an isotonic drink really pays off

*bump*

Page 2 indeed...

Had a pleasant day as WCMnr turned up unexpectedly. He timed it well, just as I was about to start making the evening meal. So he stayed to eat

 

[TheDoctor]

Well, the slight morning-after-the-night-before feeling didn't affect my ride too much, other than a strange desire for chips and Coke with the mid-morning bacon sarney and mug of tea.
The main problem was my climbing ability. I climbed hills with all the grace and panache of a concrete elephant

I climbed hills with all the grace and panache of a concrete elephant

That is exactly what I resemble when I'm sur velo!

 

[TheDoctor]

In your case it would be a charming, witty, and stylish concrete elephant

That sounded so much better in my head

 

[wafflycat]

I'll accept the compliment. At my age, one accepts compliments with gratitude!

 

[wafflycat]

Ah ha! Changed it!
