Blogtober - Post 9!

-

    As I was going to bed last night I was mentally preparing myself for today. I had a notion you see that it wasn't going to be a good one.

    "I'm not doing sheets on Sunday, it's going to rain,"🌧️ It's not going to be like this tomorrow, it's going to rain all day!"🌧️ That's all I've heard about since Friday morning. 

    So, I wake up this morning and it's cold. But it's not raining. In fact it is very sunny☀️ with even more breeze than yesterday. And remained so for pretty much the rest of the day. "I'm sure she said it was going to rain?" I should be thankful, in dreary weather the mood here is not good.

    I don't know about you, but I haven't found the weather forecasters on the telly very reliable for ages. They ramble on about fronts and highs and lows and isobars like we've all had their education (OK, so it was covered in Geography, but that was a long time ago!), and have you noticed that at the end of the week there is always "a lot of uncertainty about what's going to happen? Oh, and it's almost always an improving picture! My left buttock!😬

    I said we were going to have a cracking dinner and we did! Sausage, Fried Eggs, Chips and Baked Beans! We hadn't had it for donkeys so we all really enjoyed it! And then we had Apple Pie and cream. The pie was home-made and put in the freezer back in 2017, and it was absolutely delicious!!

    I'm ending on a photo, just to surprise you!👋😁

    Your vintage apple pie made me smile. Our forecasts aren’t too bad in Jersey. I only check the local one on the internet. I gave up watching the news and weather a good few years ago!

      I don't blame you! The news is nothing but repeated doom and gloom!

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
