    I've had an unexpectedly busy weekend. A friend needed to buy stuff for her house and garden so I tagged along. Want looking for anything specific myself, but managed to spend quite a lot.
    Including this mirror from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60249960
    I've been keeping an eye out for a mirror for the dining room. This isn't it (I'm not even sure where it'll end up :o) but I just like it.

    Very mid-century modern. Nice.

    I'd not thought of that, but yes, I guess it is. I just found the frame quite aesthetically pleasing and unusual. And thought it was an ok price for a fairly big mirror. Think it might end up in a bedroom.

    Nice People 'Emergency'

    One of the Swiss students is Gluten free. What are the pitfalls I need to watch out for?
    I think....

    Stock cubes, soy sauce, anything processed on tins or jars. Can buy bouillon or kallo stock. Tamari soy sauce.

    All allergens are in bold on the ingredients list on food packaging now. It's easy to spot.

    'Gluten free' substitute stuff tastes crap, in the main. I'd avoid it, personally, rather than substitute. GF bread is like eating sand.

    Errr... gluten?! :)

    Things containing wheat/ wheat flour?

    I guess the big question is whether she is Coeliac or intolerant or its just a lifestyle choice? (in decreasing order of importance)

    Do all husbands change the Tv channel to something awful and then leave the room?

    Well, not quite all. Just the top however many (10 or 15 I think). E.g. There is a potato-allergic NP and that's not labelled. My ex was allergic to mushrooms and that's not labelled.

    But (back on topic) gluten is.

    I have admit to not knowing. It looked like a film and seemed to consist of shrieking and wringing of hands. Probable death by violence, which I'm never into.

    I changed it
