In the absence of anything else on here, you may find this interesting. When we arrived here yesterday, the extractor lights illuminating the hob weren't working. The general lighting in the kitchen is OK but throws no light at all where you need it most. Removed the extractor filters to get at the bulbs, took them out and both were phukked - what to do about it. Bulbs had SES caps and looked around but no spares left in the house - not unusual mind. Then I spotted two 5 arm light fittings in the lounge/dining room. Got a chair and removed a couple of bulbs to have a look - yippee - 40 watt equivelent LED bulbs with SES caps. Fitted them in the extractor hood and bingo - I could see my fried eggs, bacon and sausages sizzling away - I know how to live it up.......
At least Sparkey has remembered his training. A retired electrician changing a lightbulb. Hold the front pages. To be fair, good initiative to find similar wattage and right fitting. 20% down on illumination in the lounge / diner though.
At least if you cooked it you knew what you were eating. Take care if someone else is cooking though.
Yep clingo - first day across here and settling in nicley. Went for a decent walk in Hughenden Park for a couple of hours over lunchtime - but no goblins spotted. Remarkable the change that different seasons (time of the year that is) makes to such places. For the past 7 years or so have been up here every year for a fortnight or so in mid September - when the conkers are out. My retained brain images of the place are of carpets of gold leaves through the tree lined walkways ways and under all the massive ancient individual trees scattered around the park. Today was totally different but nonetheless spectacular. First week of July meant all the trees are in full foliage - brilliant green and yellows and not a conker to be found to throw for the dogs. It really is a beautiful, tranquil and spacious place where you can breathe and relax, unlike Wycombe itself which I just do not like (personal thing). Sorry for getting emotional......
Should never apologise for being emotional. It's a sign of real strength and an important part of the human condition. Your descriptions created a vivid image which I enjoyed. Sorry the goblins weren't around. Perhaps that too is a seasonal thing, though I would expect it more in Spring rather than autumn. I guess goblin twitching isn't that easy! Cue maskey. Carry on enjoying! (Ooh matron)
Talking to our daughter last night. She's been halter training some calves for a local dairy farmer ready for a show. I asked her if she had her 'white lab coat' ready. Didnt I feel silly when she told me white coats and black trousers are for showing beef cattle. Its white trousers and shirt with no coat when showing dairy cows. Who knew? Interesting.
I should have guessed there'd be different attire. She has enough stuff for showing horses in different classes. Riding, in hand, or even Welsh classes, the latter requiring trousers, waist coat, tie and flat cap as opposed to jodhpurs, riding jacket and hard hat. I knew that though.
Fascinated by remotes potato growing activities got me thinking about how they make crisps. So here you are (26) How it's made - crisps - YouTube
Enjoyed the crisp making, then spotted the Jaffa Cake making vid that came after it. Equally fascinating.
