Any chance of the sorbet recipe RosieH? Sounds fab! D'you need an ice-cream maker?

A window seat on the upper deck of a bus. Especially on the left-hand side.

Except if it's the front seat, then right-hand window applies.

It almost makes up for the c@ntbollockses shouting on their portable phones.

Most nearly.

This is the one I use. You don't need an ice cream maker - just take it out of the freezer every so often and break up the ice crystals - however I've just bought a machine and made it in that for the first time. Soooooooo easy (but doesn't taste any better, so go for it)

Oh well done ruffers! I hope you like it.


Big "good luck" hug to you. x

Waking up early on a day when you're not working and taking a few seconds to realise that you have liberty, then making strong tea in your enamel mug, going back to bed and dipping into that book of Evelyn Waugh's letters that you haven't got round to reading.

Or old copies of Viz, that works too.

Wow a double rainbow - how wonderful!


I have joy, but it's not really irrational. I resigned yesterday from a job I've been moaning about for 2 years 8 months and 3 days. YAY


Anyone else experience joy recently?

Despite being dog-tired and not quite with-it in general, I spent a very pleasant Wednesday evening in North London with some good people, watching some bands, spotting some vivid rainbows and thinking ?I love living in London ? and I don?t even mind the 63 home on a cold August night?

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
