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).

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
