On "long commute" days: leaving the last town but one and seeing the French hills in the distance: It always cheers me up...

The view on the way back isn't so shabby either...

I accidentally left my house keys in my door last night, probably from about 7.30pm till I spotted them at 4am. No one took them either through honesty or not spotting them.

That little black object on the right of the beer can rim is a fruit fly. I have a colony of them thriving in my kitchen. The deceased one must've fancied a drink and er, died happy!

I used to culture them for poison dart frogs I used to keep. They were all over the house so sold up my set up. Miss those little frogs.

That is a completely different thing.

A tea-cake is a bread-like bun with fruit (currants, raisins or sultanas) distributed throughout. And Eccles cake is a pastry case with a currant filling.

A tea-cake is a bread-like bun with fruit (currants, raisins or sultanas) distributed throughout.

It depends on where you live or came from. Around here tea-cakes are usually white, but also brown bread, about large saucer to small plate sized and about 1.5 inch thick. The local bakers/confectioners put a decent amount of fat in to keep them soft and tastier. Shop/supermarket bought ones tend to lack fat and end up crumbly and dry.
