Nice people thread part 5 - nicely does it

It's been bright and sunny here all day, summer-like. Hardly any wind (for a change), but there is a slight cold edge.

I've got nothing sweet.... and tried googling for cheesecake recipes to make one individual one ... but found it left too much left over of things I've never bought before, so wouldn't be using in any other way, so then I decided to make a microwave pineapple sponge and I have the wrong flour and am missing some ingredients.... looks like I might just have to go and buy something sweet instead. I only want a "taste", not a mammoth commitment to sugar overload!

For missk, who may feel better about her g if she sees part of mine!





I want that to be our soft fruit garden. We are stumped how to it from that to soft fruit garden.

Why is it that I'm suddenly imagining us as a Venn diagram?.

Must finish my report summarising the NPs capacity to resist the alien invasion from my homeworld, the planet Zog. Their self-sufficiency for food and expert knowledge of hiding-places in Hertfordshire could be a formidable obstacle to the invasion. One neat venn diagram summarising their data should do the trick.

when I was in New Cross it was always interesting to guess whether the train station would be open or closed whilst the police investigated a body each morning.

I spent this afternoon watching 8ft tall rats (meant to be bears I think) playing punk versions of nursery rhymes. That was very strange.

I need to report that michaels seems to have discovered where I hide the bodies, and Generali seems to have glimpsed some of us in our non-human form.....
Now where's my transmission schedule is it Orsen or the Big Giant Head who's on duty today?

Feel the fear and do it anyway, I say!

I should show you how mine looked 3 years ago. I'm improving it slowly every year but quite often in the spring I just want to take a digger and 10 tonnes of topsoil to it :rotfl:

I bet your soft fruit garden will be ready before mine

Bought some more perennials at lidl again today, saw some lilly of the valley and some colourful aquilegias. Wilkos had the same plants for £1.98, Lidl 99p. Better bargain than the ones from T&M.

Well, that'd mean I'd end up with a WHOLE cheescake (serves 8), or two of those.... all with a very limited lifespan. I'd be the size of a planet

My plan is for a small, beach-style garden..... with a couple of things growing in pots. All low maintenance and any food produced will be eaten. Gardens are for lounging in, not working in!!

I have a mont blanc pen here; yes it is legit. Trouble is, how do you know which model it is? I know it's not a collectors' item, it's not sold-gold, it feels like a plastic case. I've quickly Googled and there's a serial number above the clip post-1990, but my guess is this one's from 1983-1989 or so.... and I'd like to know which model it is; don't think I'm selling it now, but would like to know for the future... they should have a pen-looker-upper on their website!

Whether it's worth £1, or £10,000, I'd just like to know.

So far it's looking like a Meisterstuck, without studying it in too much detail and by trawling Google and discovering a Meisterstuck in the type of box it's in.

Edit: Now I'm not so sure really.

Edit2: I'll wait until daylight, when I can take photos ... and I'll post those in fountainpennetwork.com forum and ask them - I see somebody else did that with theirs.

Maybe I should also ask PenIsland
