    Sounds like a lovely service.

    Hi Def *waves excitedly*. It’s good to see you.

    Is there a reason for this strange - to me, anyway - additive? I think I need to have a chat with Mr. Google...

    I hope you feel better soon, K.

    Hi Starry *waves* Glad to hear you’ve been vaccinated and were able to visit with friends. Sorry to hear the sun didn’t take pity on your winter skin.

    And the same to you, Mike.

    That’s great, Solus. Good for you. Apart from my left knee giving me trouble, which means no walks for me right now() I’m doing ok.

    @Ryan Jones 50, 000 rose petals seems excessive, but on the bright side if they don’t have to all be cleaned up, I’m sure the local squirrels and birds will be swiping them for their nests. I can still see in my mind’s eye, the squirrels at uni scrambling to collect the toilet paper from the trees in the quad after some (can’t remember what it was) big party was held.

    Fingers crossed for your hubby that they find out what’s wrong, and it’s easily remedied.

    I had to think about that for a second or three...

    Both avenues sound like really good options for them, and on the bright side, neither one is across the country.

    Yips. That’s what I heard at 2 a.m. on December 20. Oh darn, there are coyotes - looked out the window and saw them running down the road - in the neighbourhood now. *sigh*

    I rarely eat oranges, but when I do, I find rolling it around - while pressing down on it with the palm of my hand - on the counter or wherever loosens the peel making it easier to remove in larger pieces. But that white stuff...

    You too, tim. I hope all your calls/emails are pleasant ones.

    A manual grinder is more work, but it’s defo more satisfying to accomplish the task using one’s own power.

    Enjoy your outing, molly.

    I have my paternal grandparents silverware - real silver it is. If it was a wedding gift - not sure of its origin, but in their case, that seems like.y - it’s from 1919. My most prized possession is a quilt my great grandmother made. It’s over 100 years old by now. It’s getting in rough shape - fabric is shredding - so until I can get my SiL to patch it again, I leave it folded up to protect it.

    We used the frozen store bought bread in place of pizza dough. Thaw it and spread it out on a cookie sheet, and there’s the pizza base done. I keep meaning to try that again, but keep forgetting about it when it’s time to shop.

    This reminded me we used to have a meat grinder to make ground beef that attached to a table with a clamp. I can see myself in the basement - never clamped it to the kitchen table - watching it being used. Sadly, we stopped using it and it was sold at a garage prior to moving when I was a kid.

    That’s cool you inherited an old knife from your dad. I have an old bread knife - long blade with a serrated edge - that was a wedding gift to my mother’s parents. I just realized it will be 95 years old this year. I have wondered sometimes about the quality of the metal - I think it’s steel, but I don’t know for sure - that was used for such things back in the day.

    They should have a smile “like” because this made me smile. Its not a gadget (oops, yes it is so say the dictionary ), but what came to mind is a heavy metal potato masher that I remember being around when I was younger. I hope we still have it, because it certainly got the job done. Need to root through a certain kitchen drawer. Oh, and @Ryan Jones has me wanting an ice cream maker...

    Hopefully, the time flies by for all of you.

    Okay, so I was a little surprised after reading the definition. Baleful is a word that is rarely in my orbit, so I can be excused for immediately thinking of a certain member of the Seven Dwarves clan, right? 🤔
