Tell you another impressive something-or-other: I just made fruit chutney! Foraged plums, apples, and a stray pear, plus an onion and some *very* old rice wine vinegar we'll see how it turns out

Well and truly impressed KC! - tell me, was an actual 'recipe'??? - if not I'm more than impressed!

Isn't the concept of indoor foraging fantastic! Much better than "storecupboard" :T:T:T

Is there anyone with a more delicate command of English than I have who'd like to explain it..?

Thank goodness you got that KC - couldn't even begin to be delicate about explaining it!

Missed the chocolate musings - now you've got my mouth watering!

Going to find some strange truffles my Mom lobbed at me while over the pond! She does like to share her bad habits!

Nope, no recipe just the concept! Haven't tasted it yet, mind you. I couldn't choose a recipe, because the stuff really was foraged :rotfl:

Isn't it great!

I know! Dreadful if it had been true, tho it didn't *feel* dreadful, weirdly.

I'm glad it wasn't just me, Taxi :rotfl:

Anyway, today I'm *definitely* tidying up paperwork a bit more. When I was looking for the £50 that wasn't lost I found two pieces of post unopened from last week, thats not good.

I'm also very tempted to pop round to a neighbour's I saw on the way into town yesterday, and ask if I can scrounge some offcuts of carpet that were in their skip - it'd do brilliantly as temporary mulch

Bit of stuff I *must* do today - couple of emails, and **read the dratted meters** (shouty shouty) - I've been putting it off.

Glad you found the £50! Go for it with the neighbour, what a great idea.

Huh! I thought I'd posted more than that yesterday ... well, here I am again ... late to bed after having to hoover up a beastie in the bedroom and chuck it outside ... I'd let up on the vibes - just confirming on here that I don't want them in the house, I don't want them in the house, I don't want to be kind to them any more, if they're still in the house tomorrow, they will die! Obviously, I'm talking about beasties here

And I didn't read the meter yesterday. I wonder what Eon will do? Don't really care ...

A lot of paid work today, 4 hours, in 3 parts, so nothing too much before hand. I *have* been through Martin's newsletter - found a link to the Book Depository, with free e-books, and while most of them are nothing to write home about, there's a 19th century boys' adventure author who's written a book called The Two Supercargoes - I'll download that for my family history studies, as there's a supercargo way back in the family history

Good luck with the anti-beastie campaign

Yay to paid work

Have a great day today - thank you for the email mention, might go and look x

Hope the beasties have gone now, and I just know the snickers bar was so yummy

Karmacat

Snickers bar was lovely, thanks

Beasties - yep, I'm vibing them regularly

Thanks all for the good wishes, I need them today
