@mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social - thanks for your suggestions for algorithm management! My world is now full of cooking, gardening and very cute dogs (mainly from @weratedogs.com) Joy is restored. Hurrah!

In the morning, when it's cooler, I make a melted cheese sandwich. I put it in the freezer and have a frozen cheese sandwich for lunch. The best bits are the cheese oil that's infused the toast and then frozen solid.

First rose flowering here and my wisteria has finally done its thing. The joy!

Peanut butter on toast is breakfast royalty and should be treated with reverence. (Also ideal As a welcome home from Hospital snack)

Bother. Too much effort to borrow them. The risk assessment alone…

Is Colin busy today? I have a lot of housework and would love his help. He could do downstairs only???

All excellent choices but now I’m wondering if I’d like to join the G.A. (Aka Aunt Maria) for tea at Beckfoot?

I think I’d like to begin right at the beginning and join the Swallows on the peak in Darien just as Roger arrives with the telegram. As I don’t care for marmalade I shall be bringing a pot of homemade raspberry jam containing totally unsquashed berries.

I’m thinking a trip to the seaside for exactly that purpose as winter is receding here in the darklands!😁

Side order of rain to accompany that? And today’s special is cloud so low it’s draped from lamp post to lamp post. Yum!

A C? Not flipping likely. It’s been showers with wet intervals all the way since New Year here in the Darklands. Even a Z would be over-generous.

Formby lived just down the road from where I grew up. No dentist chairs involved as far as I know…

Not just in your head! No sign of anything but rain here in the darklands. We may have survived January but even the sight of many snowdrops is not lifting February’s gloom.

Will there be a red flag at Beckfoot so some of us can start off a day early?

Of course it is! I should have guessed! 🤣😂🤣

Has Colin been beheaded? Or merely transferred to a bowl whilst hiss premises are spring cleaned?

Mine are so well used I daren’t open them now but I can’t part with them. I also have a shelf of hardbacks elsewhere.

My dad gave me these for Christmas over 50 years ago. I got the final 3 in hardback because Puffin hadn’t published them then

📢 @georgepenney.bsky.social Guess whose book just arrived here in the darklands? It was in a bag on the hall floor when I crawled home just now. Delighted to report a few rays of sunlight made it through customs!!!

Just a small moment would do - we’re battened down for 2 weeks of cold and rain!

Aha! Gotcha! Your heatwave explains why it’s so cold here in the darklands. Could we have some warmth back please?

I have my January Blues busting lights up - purchased in a mad moment but half price. How would Colin feel about some tinsel draped over his plunger/ray gun?

Seems to be called ‘heatproof table protector’ aka HTP. Could be a close relative of TCP or even H&C, I suppose but unlikely to be more than a 3rd cousin twice removed of HGV.

I’m listening(!) to Winter Holiday. It is utterly fabulous and a bright spot at bed time in a tricky week. Highly recommend
