I'm just prepping some soup - do I need to peel butternut squash or can it go in as it is?

I'm really lazy, so I dont bother. I roast it first and then chuck it in

I use salt...just put some in and work it in with your fingers. Rinse it out, stains gone

I'm doing the bathroom today. Will update in a minute.

Just about to tackle a frog...my ironing pile, going to make it a little nicer to swallow by watching a film at the same time. I'm hoping it only looks huge because of the way DD has dumped stuff on it Off I go...

Weather report from the north coast of Scotland: it's HAILING!! It's JUNE on Wednesday!!

I did an hour in the garden this morning to make the most of the 'garden' bin before it got emptied - came in for some lunch and the heavens opened - now back to blue sky and sunshine.
I decided we had May weather in April and March in May. Lord only knows what June will bring.

I use this stuff

because I have it in the house anyway, for our occasional forays into wine-making.
