Dear dentist, educator husband, three children, and Welby The Dog --


Recommended Posts

-- you were good neighbours. Thanks for the pleasures of knowing you and of watching your children grow as we all got a bit older together. I wasn't around to say good-bye in person as you moved house yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to tell you this face-to-face, and I have to use the EDF: I like you and I'll miss you.

What a lovely post, AlexK. (tu)


I hadn't realised you had already gone KatDew, although "educator husband" did tell me you were moving. My, how time whizzes by! So goodbye from me (football fanatic, overgrown lawn) and hubby too. We wish your lovely little family the very best of happiness in your new home.

see - this is what everyone says about you LM.... I dunno - clippers? a strimmer? some kind of edging tool? It's time action was taken.

Mine or LM's? If the question wasn't euphemistic, here's an answer regarding mine: Polished and bright. It's not tinned, and the other day I used it to cook down a peck and a half of plum tomatoes from the allotment. Probably the highest-copper batch of passata ever made. When I looked at what the acid in the tomatoes had done to the inside of the pan I for a moment considered tumping all that tomato work down the bog -- then decided: I'm sixty. I have to die of SOMETHING. And one serving of spag bol at a time, week by week, is probably not going to be that something. The sauce went into the freezer. Watch this space for updates, and be assured: If you come to dinner I'll give you something else.

Funny maxxi, I thought of you today as I harvested my plums ( :)) ) for jam-making. Every year I burn my pan and every year I use your (now famous amongst my friends) brilliant washing powder tip to restore it to pristine condition.


AlexK - sixty? Really? In which case continue with the acidic tomatoes!

Alex - seriously - of course you won't die but if your pan wasn't lined you will get a huuuge guts-ache (and follow-through if you know what I mean) that no amount of bravado can compensate for. Bin it. Really.


LM - I made plum jam last year - cracked a few of the stones and included those inner kernels in the mix to improve the flavour - worked (i think).

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
