Well, it's absolutely gorgeous down here. Not a cloud in the sky, skylarks all over the place, blue tits fighting, 2 roe deer kept half a field between us and them, and fresh fox and badger footprints in the mud in the back field. It's so warm in the sun that I had to take my coat off to finish the dog-walk. What's this snow stuff of which you speak?

Tis white(avoid any other colour), covers the rubbish the council can't be bothered clearing, and for a short while it looks nice.
Fox went past around seven hours ago, six Canada Geese are flying southwards(to their pond) & Bambi is enjoying the snow. But not as much as @SteCenturion!

Not sure if this is Tea or Mundane, but I steridented my tea mug today. It's all white inside again. Hubster was making comments about being able to make tea without using a teabag due to the tannin staining. Cheeky bugger. It gets washed up regularly, BTW, I'm not just a lazy so and so.

Probably Mundane, Saluki, as with this reply.

By using a steriliser, all you will have done is bleached the colour back to roughly that of the mug. You haven't actually removed anything at all. You may be better off with an abrasive, either in the form of a scrubbing pad, or an abrasive powder or cream such as Gif. If that doesn't do it (it will), then use some flakes of old fashioned washing powder (New Blue OMO would do the trick nicely! ).

Anyone still awake?

Isn't Gif a picture file format? Jif became Cif around 7 years ago, assuming that's what you meant.

Try some CSD* on the cup the next time.

Its homemade fruit cake. Sorry. Cant suply harrods stuff Mr G. 8

Love the photos of the house by the way @MikeG

 

[MikeG]

Oh, I don't want the Harrods stuff. Just a homemade fruitcake to the Harrods recipe. But any good homemade fruit cake will do, so long as the home-made marzipan is at least half an inch thick.

Yes, it appears you have actually stumbled into a women's magazine after all

Really mundane but I use 'magic sponge' here at my friend's house to get rid of marks in cups. He hasn't got a dishwasher! At home I find that the dishwasher keeps all the mugs sparkly clean. The magic sponge contains no chemicals whatsoever and works by micro-abrasion. It works on all sorts of other marks as well. You can buy this well known brand but can get similar on Amazon cheaper. You cut small pieces of the sponge off as required. It really does work like magic...

Good afternoon Tea people. Bright and sunny here. A lovely day. And I'm cooking a cake too!

I did give it a good scrub with a plastic pan scourer thing too. The sterident seems to loosen it. Might just be my imagination though, thus helping with the scrubbing. The inside feels smooth and china-y again anyway.
