Had to go out anyway, so thought I'd but some ready made soup......
Had no wallet.
Don't want to cook, but needed something hot. Have found some rice pudding in freezer which is now reheating in oven. I know I'm not meant to have that, but it will be hot......
I'm very pleased I am getting the first cold of the year over and done with early. Hopefully this means I'll be fit as a flee for the rest of winter.
. But right now I just want hot, easy to swallow food. 0 -

The key, I think, is in the "sometimes". There's a middle way between living in suspicion and mistrust, and living in blindness and naivety. I rather like what CS Lewis says about it - actually as an analogy in an essay about something completely different, but nevertheless it stands up literally as well:If, for the first time, a doubt of his wife's fidelity crosses the scientist's mind, does he consider it his duty at once to entertain this doubt with complete impartiality, at once to evolve a series of experiments by which it can be tested, and to await the result with pure neutrality of mind? No doubt it may come to that in the end. There are unfaithful wives; there are experimental husbands. But is such a course what his brother scientists would recommend to him (all of them, I suppose, except one) as the first step he should take and the only one consistent with his honour as a scientist? Or would they, like us, blame him for a moral flaw rather than praise him for an intellectual virtue if he did so?Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Hello Itsme! Lovely to see you on here again. :hello: But sorry you're ill, of course. Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

I agree. There's no point being a blind fool about anything (CS Lewis is always interesting, I think).
If OH ever comes home at 4am, reeking of floral scent, with lipstick marks on his shirt and a half-empty packet of condoms in his pocket, I will probably think something's wrong. Similarly, if I'm ever offered a guaranteed sliver of the True Cross....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Dilemma of the season.....
Normally if I get my hair coloured in autumn I might get some strawberry blonde, or copper lights put through the tortoiseshell. I think I'm going a bit darker this time as well, for autumn.
But rosacea and anything even slightly red seem a bad idea......:(. I cannot decide.....0 -
Is FC about? Viva? Any one else interested in the art of clothes?
I saw this designer on etsy and wish I still had the figure for some of her stuff......
DH likes the sheer knitted vests, predictably, but I like the little dresses and the acid bright 'sweaters'. And the big peach jumper. But I cannot work out WHY I like the peach jumper.....
Anyway , I just thought it was nice.
