Blogtober - Post 21! 🌧️

-

    Well, I have nothing really to say today. It's been so dark here, not to mention wet, that I haven't done anything interesting or taken any photos. I don't think I've looked out the window once today and it not be raining,🌧️ sometimes light drizzle, others heavy downpour. But always raining.🌧️

    At one point this afternoon there was one of those weird light moments when certain colours seem to glow unnaturally and simply look amazing but, the one photo I took of some wonderfully red leaves🍂 really did not capture the spectacle of it. I was a bit disappointed.

    On the upside of things, we watched the last episode of "The Cotswolds and Beyond with Pam Ayres" at lunchtime, and we've really enjoyed the series, we had a Tomato and Bacon Pasta Bake using a jar of sauce from Aldi for dinner, which was very enjoyable, and in the evening we had a piece of very yummy cake - Spiced Apple and Raisin Loaf!

    I hope your day has been more rewarding than mine and perhaps I'll have something to show you tomorrow.

Night, night!👋😞

    Spiced apple and raisin loaf sounds fabulous, just the thing for this time of year! My phone camera isn't always good with certain colours - some blues never turn out the colour they should do and I think red generally can be tricky to photograph. I have seen those glowing skies, though, and they are amazing!

      We've noticed that yellows can be awkward too. It's probably something to do with wavelengths. That's the science part!

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
