The Drop In Centre 3

Can anyone please explain to me how in the hell one can get maple syrup on one's hands when they use a clean spoon to drizzle it on their pancakes and their fork hasn't even touched the plate yet? 

It happens Every. Single. Time.

The struggle is real.

Sounds like a drippage problem to me. Perhaps wipe the bottle down with a dish cloth and hot water. See if that helps.

It's in the genes. Meet your 3rd cousin, twice removed.

Hi, greetings from a rather warm Valencia.  It’s not too good, frankly.  When we look out of the window it’s like looking at the LA smog as you come into land at LAX, and we can smell the smoke in the air from wildfires some 50km away.  Obviously, it is far, far worse in SW France and elsewhere in central Spain.

What makes us so angry is that investment in fire prevention has been reduced dramatically (like flood protection in Valencia which caused so many deaths two years ago).  
A cheer for firefighters everywhere. 👨‍🚒

I feel for you.  We had orange air a couple of weeks ago. We bought an air purifier.. which works well. But fire is natural, and here our forests are boreal forest, very dense and very wild, there are no roads into them and there are millions and million of hectares of them. And right now, they are burning.

I've not had time to look at the stories yet. 2 days in a row I had over a 100 notification and I had 12 new chapters of various stories to read.

As we're with Hubby's family for the next week, I hope to start reading tonight.

I would never abandon you, my friend. ❤️

But I won't say no to a party either. I'll bring BBQ chicken.
