Happy Saturday, everyone!

Warmest day of the year so far here in Ireland, with temperatures expected to get up to 28°C/82°F in the south of the country, but maybe a couple of degrees lower here in the northwest.

The Met Office are forecasting that much of the coming week will remain warm and mainly dry, so I can see the government announcing a hosepipe ban. Hence, I may be using the sprinkler in the vegetable garden a lot over the next few days.

Happy Saturday, bro.

Been a good day I think, cold and damp but not rainy. My current plans include a walk in the bush tomorrow afternoon. Some crossing of fingers required

Walking in the bush in Australia... what could go wrong? Good luck, B.

Then I would have to think the Aliens have taken over!

Maybe they already have...

I'm trying to remember a time when anything good has ever followed those words.

He could maybe tie chairs to his feet and walk on them...

Might keep him safe from all the ground-dwelling creepy crawlies.

Do you have an apron wear that and you could wear your dress

It's a charcoal bbq, the smoke would make it smell and it's not cotton so not fire safe. I'll wear it next time I go see my Sexy butcher

How do you know?

Did I had a sleep walking episode all the way to Ireland?!

Hi, @Geron Kees. Happy Saturday!

Not sure I understand why you would use a sprinkler if there is a ban on using the hose. My sprinkler attaches to the end of my hose. Do you mean a watering can?

I think he means to beat the ban?

My sprinkler also attaches to the end of my hosepipe. But, until any ban might come in, using the sprinkler means I can use it to be watering one part of the garden without having to hold the hose in my hand. That leaves me free to be doing work in another part of the garden (or just sitting in a garden chair and relaxing).

More trying to get as much water into the soil as possible (without actually waterlogging it) before any ban comes in.

Okay, makes sense. My tired brain was thinking the ban was in effect so operating the sprinkler seemed verboten. Obviously that is not the case and you're acting preemptively for if/when it does.

Actually there isnt that much sugar. The mousses are made of a whipped cream, fruits coulis and gelatin. I only put a tea spoon of sugar in the cream to make the whipped cream instead of the 2 big spoons the recipe call for. The most sugar is in the thin layer of praline chocolate and crispy biscuit between the genoise and mousse

Did you just call me what I think you called me?

The above?

Or perhaps the following...?

What does Cochon mean in Nicaragua?

In Nicaragua ... the term cochon is loosely translated as queer or fag.
