    Quick,quick, outside everybody NoW...its summer, and it lasts only till tomorrow....QUICK!!
    It's been summer most of the day here today .... just one bit where a few raindrops fell from one black cloud.

    This has made me realise I have some gardening to do .... I HATE gardening. The reason I won't have a garden when I get a house is .... I HATE it. I like space... but zero maintenance is my game. And here is the garden of two keen gardeners.... that's been left for about 9 months .... except two sporadic shavings I gave the grass. Loads to do here :(

    Aircon on trains??? Blimey. Down here you have to open the door window and reach out, to turn the handle to open the door ..... no mod cons on our old trains!!

    Any buffet car, where they exist on the line, stop at Plymouth usually.... no mod cons.

    You have to live in the right area of london and get the right train, but some of them do have it! All the fast ones and half the slows ones from here have it. But if you go South East out of London bridge there is some truly revolting rolling stock which barely has seats let alone aircon.

    Currently having a mini dilemma...... house is sold, showing on RM as "Sold, STC" ... agent was today to chase it up/see what's going on. I just loaded the page and it is still flagged with the "Sold, STC" flag bottom right hand corner of the image, but Property Bee is telling me it's changed to "Available"... OH NOES....!!!

    Just checked my buyer's details and theirs is still showing as "Sold, STC".

    :(

    ... so, wondering what's going on .....

    Well, .. going to speak cryptically..What can I say ... Now, I'm HUGE, and I don't feel happy.

    We make our own pizzas. You can buy frozen pizza bases, but Laffas make for much better, crispy pizzas. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taboon_bread)

    Then we add the toppings of our choice - plenty veg, but very easy on the cheese.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Don't you KNOW whether you've exchanged yet? If you haven't, it's not sold.

    It is plastic, and hasn't actually cracked. There was a nasty crunch when I stood on it, but I thought I had got away with it until I sat down on the train, turned it on, and found that only the top left hand corner of the screen worked!

    Another interesting experiment: can you follow the plot just by reading the top left corner of each page of a book?

    Never heard of Laffas.

    I've made my own pizzas before, but for the amount of times I actually want one -v- the time/effort I've tended to just pick up a £2 ready made one at a supermarket :) I tend to like the sort of toppings I simply don't have available without special purchase, the total of which'd be more than £2 and then I'd have overload of those things. So a cheap supermarket one's fine, easy and easiest for one.

    Just read that link - doubt I'd ever find any of that stuff round these parts. It's the toppings really. Toppings for one pizza don't amount to much in volume. I'd end up having to eat many pizzas in a week to get through the ingredients. There's no shortage of base options.... but you can't buy 3 spoons of hot beef, 1/4 of a pepper, 2 jalapenos, 1/3rd of an onion and a spoon of mozzarella.

    You know what I meant ... it's the vernacular sold. Somebody's offered, we've accepted... waiting for something to happen.... vernacular sold, not actual sold.
