"a group of countries, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia and including India and China, is pressing for publication of the report to be pushed back to 2029." That tells you everything you need to know. We are being murdered for oil money.

Morning all. A bit frazzled this morning. Raffy seems to think my hands and feet are chews and he has selective hearing for both ‘leave’ and ‘come’. I know we’ll get there and it’s very early days. He can go out for a walk on Thursday and I think that will make a big difference to him.

Morning Cathy and all ORCs. 3rd washing load on. Firework desensitization seems to be working for Raffy 🤞 Am in the process of cleaning the windows: one or two a day. Need to cut back the wisteria a bit and rake some leaves. Work beckons right now, though.

Hope your sore throat clears up soon. If you can take ibuprofen then Strefen sore throat pastilles from a chemist might help.

I only ever make Delia’s last minute Christmas cake and it’s never let me down www.deliaonline.com/recipes/coll...

Last-minute Brandied Christmas Cake
Yes, I know, it’s happened to me too. You meant to make a Christmas Cake in early October, feed it weekly with brandy, let it mature, marzipan it two weeks before and ice it one week before the big day – and guess what, you didn’t! All is not lost though. There is a very simple homemade version to hand for those who didn’t get round to it or are fearful of making one for the first time, and it’s also extremely good. It’s made with a jar of luxury mincemeat, which gives it a beautifully moist texture, and topped with whole nuts which get nicely toasted during the baking (a great topping for those who don’t like it too sweet). However, should you wish it would be easy to put ready-made marzipan and fondant icing on instead of the nuts. The Delia Online Cookery School: Another festive recipe is Christmas Stollen which you can watch being made in our video. Just click the recipe image to play.

Morning Mushen. Hoping to be here more often now we’re settling into a loose routine with Raffy. Hope you have a relaxing day off. I’ve a ton of washing to do before I start work 🧺🧺🧺

Morning SJCP and everyone. Sitting in the garden with the sun on my back, listening to the birds (blue tits and robins) and watching Raffy explore. The simplicity of days like are my treasured times. I hope today is good one for you all.

Catching up very late in the day – hope you had a joyous visit and are reassured he’s coping. My excuse for not being around much on here is this now-12-weeks-old Raffy

Morning Linda and all. Pretty sure I’m last! (Although I have been up since 6.30.) Only a week to go before Raffy can explore the big outdoors on his own 4 paws. I think it’ll make quite a difference to him. Off to do some work. Have a good Friday, everyone.

You should go and see Rachel. She's very good, but also, the balls it takes to do a post like this - in a climate where comedians are encouraged to post nothing but wins, forever - merits your attendance on its own.

Friends out walking on Sunday discovered a water main burst down a country lane. Must have pumping water out for ages as the adjacent field was flooded. How do SE Water not know this is happening?!
