Not sure I'd want to live somewhere I can't pronounce

That’s one of the few Welsh places I can say properly. Helps that we went there on hols a lot when I was little . Living in Telford it was one of the closest seaside places. Or it could be the Welsh ancestry seeping out as I had a grandad James and a great grandad Evans 😂😂😀

Apparently the cotton crops in America are suffering due to drought. They have gone from number 1 producer of cotton to number 4. Dam. I may need to buy more jeans before the price shoots up.

That's nice. House prices here are going mad. This is a tiny terrace house on the main road

An early trip to Lidl with Mrs Tenkaykev. On our last visit we purchased a tin of their own brand Baked Beans. Had beans on toast a couple of days ago and gave the Lidl beans a try, they were very good indeed ( I always add a generous dash of Henderson's Relish " Hendo's " to the saucepan )
This morning we picked up a four pack of the same. They had Heinz beans adjacent to the own brand so I took a look at the ingredients, Heinz 50% beans, Lidl 51%. The beans inside the cans were of a similar size, the tomato sauce would be a different recipe but as I always add Hendo's it doesn't really matter to us.

Mrs exlaser alternates using Aldi or Lidi with our normal supermarket and we are impressed with the quality of some of the products.But Beans are not one of them , my daughter and I really dislike them . 😕.

I tried them too but not for me. I thought they were hard and a bit tasteless. I tried Branston for a while which were ok but I’m back to Heinz again now.

just made an egg and tomato sandwich for lunch. I’ll get a little walk shortly. Can’t be bothered going far today. Still a bit muggy out.

We're not planning to move for another couple of years, but I can't stop looking. It's annoying because I keep finding something I really like but knowing that it won't be available when we want it.
I agree with @Dirk re Welshieland, I'm looking at £300k for anything half decent.

The places I really like are always 1/3 more than I can afford. Twas always the case.

A few military choppers too. An exercise I presume.
