Annoyingly, an excellent source of boxes is unable to supply any. Where do I acquire a good supply?
I had dinner at wagamamas last night. I dislike it because their model is to have big tables which you have to share with randoms and they cram you all into the fewest tables possible so they have less cleaning to do. We were eating our dinner in peace with almost all the tables in the restaurant empty and they dumped a family with two kids right next to us even though there was only really room for two people there. No tip for them...
Food is nice and reasonably priced though. You can have dinner for two and get change from a £20. If you don't tip.0 -
Glad to hear Spirit and lir had a lovely day. I want to meet some NP (whether that's the same ones I've met before or others or both) soon.
I was wondering earlier if yours and spirits days off match for something in the future? And sometimes I think bugslet might come down 'this way'.0 -

DH was inspired my spirit and I had the same as spirit plus chilli sqid, and the juice I had for supper ......at his desk. It is delivered to him so he can eat alone at his desk.
He does't get the funky wooden soup to eat from though if he gets soup.0 -

I always found that the English spring offered so much but delivered so little. There's no decent food until the asparagus comes in (late May?) and while the days get longer the weather is often poor.0 -

March 2012 was amazing - I remember standing waiting for the train to work in the morning in bright, warm sunshine in my shirt sleeves on several occasions. That's the only good spring I remember!0 -

DH has been top less a few times already and we and the dogs were in less on Saturday for a short while in the garden..
Food for foragers before then....lime leaves, nettles, dandelions.. If you are really lucky pea shoots in garden, , wild garlic..... 0 -

February to April were traditionally the hungry months in rural England - not only because of Lent, but because winter veggies were past their best, and nothing new ready....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 -

I've seen it described as the green famine.0 -

Very true, there are a few leaves around. I had a very good dandelion and pigs ear salad at St John's once. Yum. Good time of year for oysters too.
One alternative name for the dandelion is pis en lit in French or wet-a-bed in English as they are diuretic apparently. Never had that effect on me that I've noticed and I suspect that I would!0 -
