Looks tasty. Except for the mushrooms.     I would use caramelized onions instead.

Yes by all means add caramelized onions they go very well with the mushrooms and bacon and ... oh, you said instead. For shame, it's not as if he included tuna tartare.

At that height it would require you stack two chairs and a footstool ... the footstool goes betwixt the two chairs not on the bottom.

All joking apart, I am really missing just the opportunity to be able to shake hands with people.

I know what you mean. Saturday the neighbor came to drop a handful of Lily of the valley and instinctively we came closer to kiss before realizing ugh no we can't anymore. It feels weird

To remind us of the days when social distancing was not an issue, here's another Kate Tempest poem (Hold Your Own) which she performed at Glastonbury in 2015.

If you look carefully you may see one woman in the crowd is actually moved to tears near the end.

Exactly! Because supporting that ladder with one hand will totally stop the guy from falling if it shifts.

902,658... that's how many words I have written and posted on GA. Maybe not a huge milestone compared to much more prolific writers, but I take pleasure in it, especially when considering my two years of shoulder issues.  

We'll have to keep an eye out for the magic number 999,999 words. (and we're on page 1555).

All I am seeing in that post is a small icon and no image.

If I right click on the icon and ask for the image to be displayed in a new tab in my browser, all that is displayed in the new tab is:

This site is not available in your country

And, of course, I still don't see the image.

Isn't the saying "take one to know one"?  I'll let you both decide which it is: fool or old. Or maybe both 

A similar saying is Fools never differ. But I'll run with your saying, clo

No! No! No! And a thousand times no!

I need to decorate the wall on my new stairwell eventually. But I won't be trying that trick. 

Although, we all know someone who might...

Steve says thanks Val

Here's the before and after views of the work I did clearing the ivy from the rear wall of my garden yesterday and today...

How it looked yesterday lunchtime:

 

And how it looked this evening:

I am going to leave clearing the last bit of ivy (to the left of the ladder) until the autumn or the winter. I think there's a pair of robins nesting in the hedge close to that corner, and I wouldn't like to disturb it.

Hope Steve appreciates the effort you put in.

Good work, Marty! And it's nice you care about the robins.

As Quasimodo said in The Hunchback of Notre Dame...

They're my friends, you know.
