    Very intriguing!  Was it just for decoration, or a practical use ?

    That's the thing. I left it on and squeezed - as you do. The juice came out -as it does😐

    Muslin to hold the pips back?  Extraordinary!

    I once had trout in a restaurant and, being a bit squeamish, I put a lettuce leaf over its head.
    Anywayyyy, I was tucking in and felt something round and hard in my mouth -an eyeball😯😣😬?? What to do? I certainly wasn't going to swallow it. I discretely ejected it.
    Lemon pips are sort of eyeball shaped. Aren't they? Well that's my excuse.

    Oh no :s My neighbours have just put their house up for sale. We thought they were lifers and put up with some stuff they'd done because they're a nice family. They built a huge summer house and hot tub area right alongside our garden recently, so close that the summer house robs all the sun from my greenhouse in the winter. I'm sure the sight of the husband in his speedos caused my runner beans to do poorly this year too. I hope the new owners are nice :# If they increase the height of the boundary wall/fence for privacy then that will really affect my veg beds. The current owners have always had trellis panels there and were very good about keeping it like that. :/


    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    In other news apparently the costs of funerals in the UK are being investgated now as they are being accused of taking the p**s. This may not come as a surprise to my local funeral director who parks his brand new lamborghini in front of the office every day :|

    Funerals can be ridiculously costly, there’s no need if you can do it yourself it hardly costs anything. You do need a big estate car, although I have seen a coffin off to the crem on the back of a pick up truck.

    I don't think that was a cost-saving thing. More as something appropriate to the deceased.
