Long as it's only a teaspoon you're fine Pickle. Though if it escalates to tablespoons of the gear then we may have to rally round and offer an 'intervention'.

This involves being 'talked down' by a bunch of well meaners all toting quarts of vegetable stock.

It could be worse. According to them. Don't b@stard well see how though.


But 'Barbie Girl' is a fine tune and you're giving your children a fantastic exposure to popular culture. Especially as their mother has a burgeoning Bisto jones and all.

Freak!


Although I do make instant cake by shoving a spoonful of oats immediately followed by a spoonful of mixed fruit in the mouth. Recommended.

That recipe is not cake, judging by the quantity of fruit, it's a de-luxe muesli on the hoof


although you need a swig of full fat milk as the final ingredient.

...with good sounds on of course (Jeep AND whilst cooking).


...filling one's face with berries of any kind while at a 'pick your own' farm, paying for picked fruit with juice dribblin down chin, then having to wait days before being 'ready' to eat them due to prior ashamed gluttony !

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
