I suppose we all have differing tolerance to sounds. Listening to someone crunch their way through a bag of crisps makes me want to do a brutal murder 😬

OH likes Bob Dylan. We don't disagree on much (mainly because l am always right), but l have to switch the radio off if Bob turns up, which thankfully he doesn't very often these days. On another topic, can anyone explain how the sun shines while l am indoors. Literally 5 minutes after l step outside, get pots, compost etc. up together and get ready to start, it begins to rain. I have come in, muttering, made some tea, logged onto here....and the sun comes out. Bah !
We’ve got that sort of weather today @AnniD ... as soon as I’d done what had to be done and went outside it started to drizzle ... I came in and started to do something else ... the sun came out ... I went out and the sun went in and it started to drizzle again ... this has been repeated all morning ... ☀️ 🌧 🌈 😆

I think everyone will be doing the same I've been in and out 3 times and so has the washing ☺

Years ago someone on Friday Night Live did an impression of the 'Bob Dylan vacuum cleaner'. It sounded exactly like Bob and exactly like a hoover. It's Led Zeppelin for me. OH loves them and I really like a lot of the tunes and the guitar is amazing, if only whatshisname would quit with the screaming. His singing is fine. He just doesn't do it much. Oh yeah, and my Dad eating an apple. I couldn't be in the same room with him.

I was a bit curmudgeonly at the 'do' we went to last night. I was starving hungry by 8.30, despite having eaten a banana before we went. The plainest thing they had was some very nice thick ham ( I was given 1 1/2 slices), some mushrooms and an unidentified quiche. The other dishes were all various salady things, all smothered in mayonnaise, or oil, or cream based. I'm sure they were all delicious but as someone who can't tolerate a lot of fat and who is on a diet, I was bit disappointed in the choice. The desserts were much the same as well. I know it sounds ungratefull though.
@Lizzie27 I used to go to the sort of networking events they do at 6.30pm and everyone stands around drinking wine and eating the little blobs of food related items that people bring round on large plates - salmonella on toast as OH calls them. I found I ended up eating far too much of stuff that's no good for you, just to be able to stay upright. So I started eating a proper meal beforehand. And the habit stuck, so if I'm invited round to friends' for anything other than a sit down dinner, I'll have eaten a good solid meal before I go and will be demurely saying 'oh no thank you - maybe just a little of that' for all the world like I'm on some terribly authoritarian diet and aren't I good? Nope - just stuffed already

That's a good idea Raisingirl. I had thought the banana would do the trick but there was a longer wait for the food than I anticipated. I expected the usual cooked chicken legs, sliced beef maybe, mini sausages and a big bowl of plain mixed salad. That was the plan!
