    I have 3 ninjas, they are so versatile and worth every penny in my opinion. Not used my oven for almost 2 years. 

    Don’t buy one just to dehydrate though, only if you’d use it for other things. They are huge so take up a fair amount of space and too heavy to keep moving about in and out of cupboards.

    Good morning and happy Wednesday 📚☕️🧁
    Just work today, but on,y 2 days left as Friday is booked off. 
    The seagull is already complaining that his breakfast of leftover cat food wasn’t big enough. He came knocking and shouting about 6 times yesterday and he’s at it already! I keep scrabbling around the cupboards for out of date and old bits for him.
    I hope you all have a fabulous day 📚🧁🍫

    It's been lovely and warm here and the local sparrows are making use of small hollows in the garden having dust baths, it's lovely to watch as they are very near the back door where I have an armchair! The pup flattened many flowers whilst here and this was where I had a lovely colourful but small shrub that was flattened!!! But it's OK, if it doesn't come back I'll find something else to put there  :)

    Good morning and happy Tuesday 📚☕️🍫
    Rainy today.
    My new skin care came and I did all the steps as instructed last night and this morning, I was disappointed I wasn’t asked to prove my age when I made my coffee this morning, but it’s early days yet 😁
    Does anyone have a dehydrator? I’m pondering getting one for my bday, to make home made dog treats and apple crisps, etc. it’s a bit random, but YouTube promises me it will be fun! 
    I hope you all have a lovely day, filled with all good things ☕️📚🧁☀️
    We’ve got a dehydrator. We’ve got an allotment and use it to dry then freeze all sorts.DH has done beef jerky too! We’ve dried courgettes , frozen and put in from frozen into slow cooker stews with good results. Great for raspberries too. It’s a big old machine and lives in garage most of the time. You need to be around for rotate the trays from top to bottom, ideal if you work from home.  Here the lesson endeth 😉

    How late am I? What a shocking busy day…and I’ll have to pop into work tomorrow to send something out..sigh.
    Thanks @jokono 🧁
    good news though…my wild mint face care regime is into its 3rd day and although I’m not yet looking 20 years younger, it’s not turned my face weird and it smells nice 😁 I’ve never been so clean and shiny 🤣
    what make is your monster garage machine @carolbee
    Steven seagull knocked about 6 times today…he’s a summer menace. I’ll have to stock up on cheap stuff for him as he’s helped clear the cupboards of every open, soft or ancient thing…he’s happy with bread, cereal, soft biscuits, leftover pet food, leftover food, anything! The other birds aren’t happy as they usually get any leftover rice, pasta, chips or whatever, but he’s muscling in 😬
    I’ll be calling at Lidl tomorrow as I’ve made it to the £10 voucher..woohoo.
    I hope you've all had a lovely day 🍦

    Could do with Steven Seagull to scoff all the delightful out of date/half used stuff  that people deonate to the foodebank.
