I can just see him waving off any fatalities caused by cars 'flying' before systems are ready for it as just a part of progress or something shit like that.

That looks amazing! I find bread making relaxing when it works, and frustrating when I create something that could break concrete. 😂 I have mastered cheese and onion bread now though and that is my favourite so I class this as a win!

I'm so pleased for you that you made a complete recovery. This sort of thing is very rare.

It's very brave of Beth to go through this interview as she will genuinely suffer for a long time afterwards, but it is telling that people only really buy into chronic illness like ME and long covid when they hear about supremely fit people being struck down by it. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

Beth Dobbin: British Olympic sprinter in bed for 22 hours a day after ME diagnosis
Beth Dobbin ran for Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Five years on, she is largely bedbound after being diagnosed with ME, a devastating illness for which there is no cure.

Meeting up with some friends tomorrow morning for cake and hoping to escape into the trees at some point on the weekend. 🙂🌳🍂

We have a kitten (Mishka) who has just started exploring outside. Unfortunately we have a local cat bully who has previously beaten up our other cat (Ninja). I look out the window to see Ninja all fluffed up, preparing for action. I dash out to find he is glaring at Mishka who is washing her bum.

Had one of those writing days yesterday when the words just flowed out of my fingers. Am also really enjoying There are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak and the fact that whatever oddity is mentioned in the book seems to turn up on the socials a day later!

I love this! I've watched herons hunting rats on a river bank. Brutal. I've never been so pleased that herons are scared of us!

That's interesting. I heard that Stallone sat down and wrote the script for Rocky in a day or so, making many writers feel bitter and jealous. No doubt it is a lot easier if you know movie structure inside out.

Such weird weather at the moment. It feels like summer again. I've just gone round opening doors and windows as it's warmer outside than in the house. My daughter is not keen on spiders get in though...

A party you say? I'm in, but we leave only footprints, and possibly hangovers.

Personally I would emigrate to Spain and the last time I went to Germany I was designated an honorary German - admittedly at the end of an evening at the Weisn, but still. 🙂

There's always been a strong link between the UK and Australia, they even have the Union Jack on their flag. Then there are the huge sporting rivalries. It's also easier in terms of language. I would say the weather is a lure too, but who knows what climate we will have in a few years?

You have to watch mushy peas. They're very sneaky. I've not seen anyone ever ask for them but there they are on your plate.

The autumn colour is appearing so gradually this year in the UK. Hope we get to see the full beauty of the season before we get hit with windy weather. 🌿 🍂 #nature #autumn #WSocialPics

Mushy peas seem to have a love/hate quality - I'm firmly in the hate camp. Pea curry is delicious, it still tastes of peas despite all the spices. Mushy peas not so much... Yes please to tartare sauce though. 😋

I know, it makes me a bit of a social leper at times! I like practically all other food and drinks, except mayonnaise, which is currently running in a different discussion on here.

🤣 I hate to add more oil to the flames but hasn't this already been done in Pulp Fiction? www.youtube.com/watch?v=s719... And I am still laughing at the 'ghastly malt vinegar' comment! It's good to have differences. 🙂

Malt vinegar cuts through oiliness and the Brits got into the habit of chips alongside battered fish as cheap food for the working class in the mid 19th century. It started because malt vinegar is a cheap by-product/associate product of beer brewing which was a major industry then.

😂 Ah, maybe I should have stressed that it's a no for mayonnaise for me, personally! The best part of travelling for me is trying the local food and I eat and enjoy practically everything. Just not mayonnaise for some reason.

It has inspired me to make my favourite cheese and onion bread this week. Although now I'll have the thought of Paul muttering about proving time - it tends to be the time it takes me to do something else and come back to the bread!

"stinking malt vinegar"!😱 😂 The best thing I've had in Belgium with chips has been mussels/moules and yes, I had salt and vinegar on the chips!

I'm proud to be European and British but no mayonnaise with chips please. Preferably no mayonnaise at all. This photo makes me feel ill. BUT - mayonnaise is slowly taking over my family. My kids rebel by dunking chips in the yucky goeey stuff. Although my son at least mixes it with chilli sauce.
