    Yummy @josusa47 👍 ... affogato 😋 one of my favourite desserts 😎 
    I didn't know there was a name for it.  I thought it was my own idea.  I generally find ice cream in restaurants is just too cold.

    Sounds like he's due a clip around the ear from his mum though :D
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    What a lovely story.

    I am cheerful today because I finally got around to installing AdBlock on my laptop, which has made such a difference when I read this Forum - no more page jumping up and down and giving me eyestrain.

    Camellia is in flower.  Lovely Christmassy red blooms.

    The stupid road closure in the centre of Cheltenham is being lifted and traffic will once again be able to get from one side of the town to the other without having to travel down narrow residential roads.  The closure was introduced as a 6 month experiment 18 months ago, with no signage for alternative routes.

    Now that has made me feel cheerful too @Hostafan1 😊

    I bet that looks good Obelixx, mine is not very showy as it's only single flowers and a pink one at that. There's been more flowers this year though than previous ones so I live in hope.

    Watching the Big Bash cricket from Canberra, the game has been delayed due to the smoke from the fires, the players were struggling to breathe or see the ball . The number of homes lost, land destroyed and the lives lost, makes me realise how lucky l am.
