    Hmmm.... perhaps I should go back outside and move the things I have moved next to walls into the garage instead?

    Wish I could put the 2 chimneys somewhere safe too :eek:

    Just checked the latest Met Office forecast and the wind forecasts have dropped for here. Max winds now 29 and gusting 50. I can cope with that. We get that stuff most years at some point.
    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? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Thanks viva. Guess this is all part of the joys of being new to home-owning!
    Forecast is 31/ 57 here. Might see if I can find my torch (definitely not been unpacked yet). If I can find it, I'll have another think about heading outside.

    That was easier that I thought it would be... my glamorous head torch was still in the backpack I went festivalling in :)

    I have loaves of sugar. Atm Coconut sugar, cane sugar. You can buy solid maltose, I think its used in far eastern cookery....? Not my area really.

    I have a loaf of palm sugar. I use it for Vietnamese salad dressings with lime juice, rice wine vinegar and nom pla (fish sauce a bit like a mild Worcestershire sauce). Vietnamese salads have a lot of herbs in them especially mint and are great with the sweet and sour of that dressing.

    Oh yes, palm sugar!

    We had some of that, it had a very interesting taste...but I didn't really know what to do with it tbh:o

    Vietnamese stuff, I see. Hmmm,

    Good to know.


    I'm really bad at Asian cookery. I'd like to get better but I just don't seem to have the knack, edit,.....like...I'd love to cook something with zedoary. It just sounds amazing. But what? How? And where the hell would I get it? :)

    Can I recommend that if anyone was given a very short to live, you can stretch that time awesomely by spending it driving across (but not around) London.

    DW tells me I was gone three hours but it felt like half a day! :(

    Nice weather up here though, for a change. :)
