This one's for LJ, and anyone else who's turned on by big, round, juicy things:

I was thinking of other big juicy round things - especially as we were all talking about secret crushes.:D

I am looking at my toms & wondering whether they are changing colour, or whether that is what I want to see.

Mighty fine set up you have there davesnave! That hard work has really paid off.

Not actually been there for comedy.
Go there for music sometimes. One of my favourites "The Counterfeit Stones" play there quite a lot.

Got a venue for comedy closer to home with some "big names" seen over the last few months including Greg Davies (fantastically funny) and Mark Watson (yep not bad).
For the "really big names" it's off to near lj in Wolv. (Jimmy Carr last year) or of course B'ham with loads of venues/comedians playing all the time.

Station house? Or the junction?

Starting to wonder how close you are now...:eek:

oh, for those that watch dexter, I was peeling beetroot earlier while watching dexter. quite funny.

any tips on how to peel roasted beetroot? I stopped as I got bored and I'm guessing it's not that difficult???

I thought if you just rubbed the skin it'll come off?

Nope.

Maybe you're rubbing it a different way to me? :rotfl:

Hi Spirit, obviously there are deeper issues as well, but has she had her eyes tested? The reason I ask is that I am a clumsy mare and regularly bump into things. It took me until my 40s to realise my eyesight isn't what it should be and to get special glasses prescribed. Although only a symptom rather than the cause, just wondered if you had met with an optician, explained the situation and asked them to test not for long or short sightedness and the normal stuff but co-ordination. IIRC it is to do with those red and green bars that you look at for one very small part of the sight test and when they realised there was a problem they spent a lot of time on it. My two things are that I walk into obstacles that are closer than they look and knock things off the side in the kitchen because I see past them, its all to do with close vision. Probably won't be anything to do with it but may be worth checking out.

In terms of the rest of the problem I think a lot is about adaptive technology specifically for cooking, such as the Good Grips range (my mum and mil both have trouble so I've spent a lot of time looking at these). Incidentally I read the following with regard to potato peeling: use one of those firm scrubbers to take the skin off instead of a peeler and attach it to the worktop using suckers so that both hands are free. Could that work? ETA: just seen Pasture's suggestion which would probably work better.

Wrong I know, but I really laughed at the first para.

We don't like admitting to our own faults. I probably needed glasses for years, before I actually got them. I'd walk down the street with a mate, & he'd say "Oh, wolves are looking to sign so & so", & I'd say "Where'd you hear that?".
He'd say "On that A-frame over there".
"What A-frame" I'd ask.
"Outside the newsagents."
"What newsagents?":rotfl:

What convinced me, was slowing down on the m-way to see if it was my junction, & realising that despite the sign being absolutely huge, I'd had to slow to 40mph!:eek:

I dread to think of what I've missed. Years of poor views at music gigs and so on. I may have even missed mrs jelly!:(

Did anyone see The boy in the striped pyjamas? I have been meaning to read the book for ages but the film was on BBC, very moving film about the simple uncomplicated way that children see the world, the ending is so poignant and is prone to open up those tear ducts. A wonderful film.
It is on I-Player still

How can I tell if I have depression?

You won't know.

& now is nowhere near a decent time to assess you. After all, there is a recent bereavement, so your emotions are not in the right place anyway.

I'd only go with a medical assesment PN, & if it is a GP/doctor who has suggested you may have depression, then whilst this is possible, you may also be greiving and a GP is looking for an over-simplistic view of the current situation.

PN, It's a difficult time, there is a lot going on and you are suffering a recent bereavement.

No harm in going to your GP and getting something to "tide you over".

No disrespect silvercar, but I fundamentally disagree with this, & imo this is exactly the wrong thing to do.

The problem with "something to tide you over" is that the "something" can too easily become relied upon, and can be seen to be an answer.
