Brought back memories so to speak. However, I do realise that a lot of commercial breads are stuffed with additives which don't have to appear on…

Heating off, fans on ?
It hit 26.4C in husband's office in Surrey today and was 23C here. Usually, when Spring is much warmer, we would have been in Summer cooling mode since May. When husband came home, we rearranged our bedroom a bit and put a tower fan back in there. We have a Levoit air purifier on 24/7 365 because husband has COPD and we…

They are in good condition but, originally black, they have seem to have absorbed dust or whatever over time and are now a bit dusty grey/rust and not smart, they also I think could do with some conditioning. I know there are special sprays etc, quite expensive and probably a…
