Okay Question Time
How can you get fish n'chips suitable for vegans?

Vish’n’chips is what you want!
Banana blossom: amazing texture and when I had it (as a non-vegetarian) at Tansy’s Pantry on the IOW a while back, it was delicious!
I see a sample recipe here….no doubt many others about…

That is very interesting! I actually do eat fish, but banana blossom sounds worth checking out. I had never heard of it.

Sign in a chip shop said "Suitable for vegans".
As far as I'm aware they weren't using a fish substitute.

There seem to be multiple models in that product line, ranging from half what I paid to several times what I paid, so one of us got a bargain but I'm not sure which one! Which model have you got?

Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2. They come on sale from Time to time, I paid £48. My wife tried them and now has a pair in pale green to match her phone 🤔

Good morning all. Dull and grey outside and looks distinctly chilly. I have a feeling the sun will appear later. What news? Not much really. This morning I have a meeting in my Treasurer's role to finish the handover from the previous guy, visit bank to update account details, deposit money etc. Then it will be housework and I feel there should be an Aldi run but we don't seem to need much other than coffee.

Hopefully time for some allotment work. I still haven't made outdoor sowings and feel I should. Loads of asparagus coming through which is very early.

Good morning all, dull, grey and cold here, housework this morning, club this afternoon and hospital tonight, they're doing the investigation this afternoon, if it don't get cancelled, so might know more later, and I might go out to lunch later.

Off to the local for lunch.

Looks a bit lonely, this was our weekend camp.

Good morning all fellow wheezers.
Failed at wordle today.
To start the day off I have a dental appointment at 9.00, just a check up, but the first one for two years, so not sure what he might find in there.
Then breakfast, followed by the usual dog walk. This afternoon is a meeting of the escape committee at the Black Horse. Followed by a Ruby Murry. One of the members is 67 today.
So another busy day in paradise beckons
Enjoy your day everyone.

Cold day today - heating on.

Got up early to finish some stuff for meeting with accountant tomorrow.

Going to finish cutting lawns.

Walk with Mrs SD this afternoon.

Only gloom on the horizon is stent removal tomorrow pm - I want it out but it's the getting it out that is bothering me.

Dull start here weatherwise.
Black bin is out.....whoopdedoop.
MrsD is looking better today and has loaded the washing machine.
I have to strip the bed and do that washing. Have to be honest, I bl**dy hate changing bedding/duvet etc.
Breakfast will banana and trifle.....main meal will probably be curry, onion bhaji and nan bread.

Good Morning Folks,
Green bin day, cloudy and grey. Wordle in 6. I realised that I haven't used my Nikon SLR for a couple of years. I also have a 24-70 mm 2.8 lens, one of the " Holy Trinity " of Nikon lenses. I'll look into selling the lens, haven't used Ebay for a while as I'm not sure if it is worth it with the fees, charges and the risk of being "scammed" but I'll investigate.
Meanwhile, a trip into Poole to look at some curtains 😢 and curtain poles and other ancillaries. On further thought, if I delay it a while we will be in Poole about lunchtime and there's a few pubs we could visit🍺
Not all bad then!
Have a peaceful day folks☕👍

Morning crappy hampers. Cold here quite in fact.

Most exciting news is.....It's bin day today.

Stay safe peeps

Morning all

Shopping for diesel, gas and various other stuff this morning.
Meeting up with my cousin at lunchtime.

Whatever it is; it ain't fish.

Looks a bit busy. We like solitude.

Morning. I too failed at Wordle as I rushed it and just got impatient. The appeal is wearing off a bit now anyway.

Very chilly start here but nice and bright so 5.4 mile hilly walk done. I was going to pop into the chemist to pick up a prescription on the way home but was a bit too early and it was too chilly to hang around, plus I wasn't sure if a mask is still required in a chemist being healthcare? I'll pop back up shortly and go into the Co-op for a few bits and pieces too.

This was the plaque on the stone in the little plantation for the Queen's jubilee.

I blame the Chairman, for slacking.
