Tea?

[Blue]

T'is the last day of another week.
Cloudy, with a chance of rain. What happened to the summer weather they were forecasting at the other end of this week.

We held on to it. It's blazing here.

G'day all.

The guys have made a fair bit of progress with the kitchen. I even got a temporary fix with the washing machine and a new slim line dishwasher(both Bosch, of course). Never thought I'd be excited just to get my old washing machine back Happy about the dishwasher too - that'll save me one little thing in the future.

We had a riot outside the house last night, according to Mrs B, when she woke me at 4am! (Yet another sleep deprived night for me). A dementia symptom know as 'confabulation' that probably came from the TV reports of riots a week or so back. It's amazing, and sad, to see how involved Mrs B was with her confabulation - she was in tears and anxious about the riot and woke me up to tell me not to go outside to sort it out, All this going on in her head when it was so quiet that someone dropping a pin on the grass in the garden would have broken the silence.

Be careful with that hosepipe. Use it too much and there'll be a water shortage!

If I say I'll try, will that do?

Morning??

Fried soft egg on a burnt roll, that's living
Another sunny trip out, the basic but a climby basic..
E wind carrying a bit of an edge, brr.
A rare event north of the border, the hosepipe ban..,
carry on

It had cleared here by 12. Blue skies, the odd cloud...

Thought you were chief cook and dishwasher!
You'll think twice before you swear at that washer again, I presume, now it's working.

Sorry to hear/read about the memory trouble. Hope the pair of you manage to work round it.

You could try cooking in your dishwasher. Two jobs in one, just make certain your seals are watertight.

How'd you burn the roll?

The wind at your back as you went uphill!

You never know, you'll turn the telly on/pick a newspaper up one day, and there it'll be "Hosepipe Ban due to heatwave" as either the first item or splashed across the front page.

I will...

You'd have been home by now on the bike though.

Which one?

The bakery managing to sell stuff it burns. That's a new one.
It'll have helped slow you down at least.

2018 according to the Herald(paper), and '95 before that.

Impressive though: they burn the bread but don't melt the packaging.

Maybe they use thermal shrink wrap!

Which one?

Which ever is better over longer distances, comfortwise.

Morning all
I assume 'burnt' rolls are a Jock thing?

Sun, sun sun
Sunstroke will soon take over from the current afflictions esp. for the peely wally(whit?) ones..
It was on a hot summers day, I soon learned never to dollop sun cream/lotion on your nose

Quite possible, I'll keep my eyes open though in case they're on sale round here.

Having fun, fun, fun, drinking fresh mangoe juice...
Just keep yerssen covered at all times, should cut your chances. I know you don't see this much sun normally.

Why not? Looking like Rudolph would be one of the last things you'd want at this time of year.

Morning??

The local Coop get supplies from a Fife bakery and the burnt roll top is cremated black...
We must do rolls well up here..
Other favourite is the 'Morton Roll' type
crispy, made with a rougher flour I assume..
nice and chewy..
I can't abide those cheap supermarket ones at all..

talking about rolls and it's lunchtime
(after the rounders catch-up)

I couldn’t eat these. Don’t like the taste of anything burnt. I quite like something quite rough though with maybe some seeds. Makes you think it’s healthy.

Marketing ploy.
They've found a way of selling what they'd have otherwise thrown, after their oven had been playing up again.
Now they do it on purpose.
