    Good evening, I strained my rhubarb wine today , added the yeast and what not and put into a clean bucket where it stays for a week, looks a yucky colour, got the bug so think I might try elderflower again :D

    Why on earth won't cats drink the clean water you put out for them:rotfl:

    Oooh I love a black cat:)

    Dogs are the same, my dog will drink out of dirty plant pots, stagnant water, but put fresh clean water out and he doesn't want to know.

    He does like the toilet water though :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm just having a train of thought - not money-saving at all:rotfl: - that, when Clive Myrie stands in front of the camera and says "Hello there", he doesn't "see" any of the people watching at all. Or, indeed, maybe, sometimes, how do they know that anyone is watching at all? (Obviously there's audience ratings after the event.) So, it's a message being communicated - with no idea of who received it or whether anyone received it at all.

    Interesting. Or not:rotfl::rotfl:. (I've no idea if my posts go into 'thin air' (the space of the Internet floating above us) - they may be, indeed are, read at a different time to when I posted them and I don't know if anyone has read them, unless they reply to say that they have (even then I don't know whether they are telling the truth, although I would imagine people generally would be) or if they thank the post, but then I don't know whether they have read the post or whether, like me sometimes, they may just have read part of it and not every single word.

    My CC shop from earlier

    That is a good price - and would have been on the list if I were to have gone to M and done it. See, you can do it all yourselves without me:rotfl:. It's good though, from whatever source (elsewhere or me) it comes from.

    Gosh I am so deep:rotfl::rotfl::eek::rotfl:!:T
    Deep and philosophical tonight, I don't know what's come over me.
