Apologies for putting everything in together as a catch up post...
CK: good luck for the next week or so, hope everything goes ok.
Silver: view from the balcony is stunning. I wouldn't want to leave to come home. I dream of having a view like that. One day...
Sue: glad to hear things are going well on the relationship front. It's great for you and its also good news that the boys have got another positive male role model. I know it's early days, but I'm really, really, happy for you.
No trampoline here btw. We're a bit old for one, if we had kids it would be a must have.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

The idea of runny cheese I find unappealing.
My new favourite soft drink is limonana - a blend of lemon juice, mint and ice. very refreshing in hot weather.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

School didn't have one and people didn't have them back then. And I don't know anybody with one. And they're bigger than my garden/s have been and I'd not buy one just to go on it a few times.
I was always very interested in trampolining..... it was just not accessible as a sport.
A school where I did a teaching experience in the 1970s had been given one by the local factory's sports club. It was viewed as a great asset, but there was nowhere to put it. So, it took up the entire floor space in one of the classrooms.
When I found I was timetabled to teach English for the whole of Friday afternoon in the "Trampoline Room," the prospect filled me with dread. In fact, it was very pleasant. When the kids were visibly tired by Shakespeare, we'd get up and have a five minute 'bounce around.' :rotfl:
Different times and different kids.

Looks delicious. Are the things sticking out of the top bread sticks or some kind of stirring/fondue device? I have to ask as I would be the one that pulled one out and then broke their teeth on some wood:o.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

I suppose you could, if you had a blender and fresh mint....I was introduced to it in a cafe.
I just googled it, only to find it contains lots of sugar. So maybe not something to have too often.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I use quite a lot of mint because I like fresh mint tea made with the leaves Middle Eastern/North African style. I may try sticking some lemon in it just to see what it tastes like.

Er, yes. "Half a cup" of sugar as an ingredient in a recipe for a drink - well it's better than larvae in cheese but I'll give both of these the body-swerve. :AThere is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
I remember seeing on the telly that you can take one of those cheeses that are in the round, balsa-wood boxes (Camembert?) and shove the cheese/whole box in the oven and the cheese melts, then you can take it out and dip stuff in it, fondue-style.
Nice idea.... but they don't make tiny ones, just bigguns, so it'd only work for 4-6 people.
I'd still worry the box would catch light in the oven though.... says you have to remove the paper: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-40461/Can-bake-camembert-box.html0
