Blogtober - Post 14! 🍟 🍟

-

    Another full week of Blogtober is over and I think it's fair to say I've struggled a bit with it. Hitting that midweek low was a surprise because up until then I seemed to be having a reasonably good run at it, it just caught me off guard. Perhaps I should have something waiting in the wings so to speak, so that I have something to post when I don't feel I've got anything interesting to say?

    It's been a mostly grey day here, dank is probably a good word for it, and we had about 3 or 4 hours of heavy drizzle from around midday.🌧️ But now, at about 5pm-ish when it's far too late to do any good, the sun is trying to make an effort to appear. I don't think it will succeed!🌥️

    Something that has cheered the day up though was lunchtime. We watched last weeks episode of Pam Ayres in the Cotswolds, and we had a chippy!🍟 I had a Battered Sausage of course and it was incredibly yummy! The chips were nice too but we don't get as many of them as we used to. Still, it's a nice meal and none of us felt hungry or over-full, so that was good too!

     We will soon be having tea and I've decided to treat myself to a bag of Doritos to keep the good mood going. And we have cake for later too!

    Let's see what the next week brings shall we?👋😉

    Yes I struggle sometimes too but fortunately I always have holiday photos to share on those down days. Your chippy meal sounds yummy.

      It was very yummy, nicer than the chinese take-away we had tonight although that wasn't bad. Just expensive!

    I think it always helps to have a couple of photos in reserve and then you've got something to talk about on days that feel a bit "ugh".

      That's a good idea, I must try harder with the photo taking!

Blotober - Post 2!

    You would think that with it being a Sunday, I would have had plenty of opportunities to post my intended Blogtober post. But no. I haven't even touched a computer today until now because there always seemed to be something else to do! And I don't suppose any of it was particularly important. Ever have days like that?     So instead of that post I'm going to do a Sunday Waffle. A quick ramble about the day and anything else that pops into the noggin as I type. Minus the swear words. Probably.       It was pretty grim when I got up, it looked like it had rained🌧️ all night, but the sun soon came out☀️ and it was bright till about early afternoon when the clouds started gathering. Somewhere across the road someone had lit a garden fire, smoke blowing up the road so at least this time we didn't get the stink of it.🔥     We did have a fab dinner at lunch time! Rib Bones in a sticky Chinese sauce served with mash, peas and carrots. Golly it was yummers!!😋 😋I haven

     Hello! I'd like to start by asking a few questions to those of you who have been using silicon-handled hooks longer than I have.     In the last few days I have notice that the hook I'm using most has developed a weird ickieness to the handle. It's not sticky or rough, just not right. My others don't feel like this. I even washed it the other day and if anything it made it slightly worse.      Could this be a reaction to the hand-cream I use in the evening to lessen the roughness of my fingers? Is there a way of fixing the issue, and is there a best way of storing and caring for this style of hook? Comments and solutions would be most appreciated.😀     I finished reading "The Tears Of The Salamander" Monday night, and tonight I will start reading something else. I'm just not sure what yet, it may end up a point and grab situation. Whatever it is I probably won't have read it before and I'll let you know what I choose.      Yesterday I mentio
