My younger granddaughter had only broccoli one Christmas Day. She was probably 3. otherwise not too fussy. Now me - I love having my 2nd daughter here for food. Not only a wide palette but can cook.
Other than in cakes, puds etc Possum has only ever had eggs as part of a cooked breakfast. I poach ours but she now has hers fried with a crispy bottom please. She didn't get boiled eggs and soldiers or hard-boiled eggs in sandwiches cos OH and boiled eggs don't mix well.

We need to have an alarm amnesty in this house. We both got to bed about 1am but she set her alarm for 6am and I set mine for 7. By the time she hit the snooze button 3 or 4 times it would have been better for both of us if she'd just set it for 7 in the first place It felt extra dark this morning too.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Bojo is rightly being slammed for failing to answer simple questions about parties, but the latest revelation in one of the papers today is ridiculous. There is a photo of him wearing his mask upside down - the mask is upside down, not Boris!
A £20 tracking device you can put anywhere or on anyone to keep tabs on their movement. Companies are selling them knowing the problems they could cause and are working on security fixes afterwards so they don't lose out on the market share in the meantime.

OH wanted some long socks to keep him warm while playing golf and gardening so I trotted off to the sports store to investigate ski socks. They only had some rather nice silk ones and none of the thermal ones we used to get when we went skiing. SM next so I checked their range but they're all made in China. Why? Silk it is.

Not just socks, I was trying to replace my digital kitchen scales. Of course they are all made in China. Feels like I’m banging my head on a brick wall, trying to find things made elsewhere. I was looking at ladies socks on the John Lewis website last night, and some socks I liked the look of are made in Spain. Not much use to your OH though, @Obelixx.
@Ergates same with Xmas baubles. I found a few new interesting ones made in Toulouse but all the usual suspects are made in China. Same with solar lights for outside. I found only 2 models not made in China.
My digital scales are about 20 yrs old now and made in Germany but if I need new ones I may well end up in a flea market buying the old fashioned balance kind.

For the past three weeks the SM has delivered a half leg of lamb far bigger and at a higher price, than the one I ordered. I've rung each week and complained and they have given me a refund. The difference this week is £5.50. They didn't used to do this and I could accept the odd mistake but after 3 weeks in a row. I rather suspect this is deliberate and they hope the customer doesn't notice it.

Keep alarm out of reach.
