I'm with you on Caramac @B3. I do like a bounty or a raisin & biscuit yorkie though. And my current favourite is Holland & Barrett's chocolate-coated dates 😋.

For those addicted to any of those chocs mentioned above and find them hard to resist for more than 5 minutes, I'd advise you to make your own chocs. By the time you have spent a day producing them, the smell, the taste ( well, you've got to try them to make sure they are OK ) and the sheer effort involved should ensure that you put them away in their jars and don't look at them for a few weeks or more. Works a treat for me anyway
For me, the darker the better. But for health, my neurologist recommends chocolate with "bad" fats. Terrible for the cholesterol, but reduces my epileptic seizures. REALLY!!
Discovered this afternoon that some toerag has wrenched a solar light fitting off its post on the drive, pulling the screws out as well, leaving splintered larger holes and has then just left it lying on the ground - why? We only put it in last year so that delivery drivers/visitors could see the house number more clearly.
We don't usually get any vandalism round here, it's very strange.
Number 1. This morning just before 8am a guy arrives at our door to read our electric meter. This is after I've had a 'thank you for your meter reading' from British Gas about a week ago. Why? I then went to read my e-mails and there was one from BG received about 8pm last night to say somebody would be coming. A bit of notice would be appreciated.
Number 2. My wife was sent for a scan by her GP on 11th May and told to phone for the results after 5 working days. She gave them 10 working days and was informed they hadn't received anything. The person she spoke to at the surgery said my wife would have to chase up the results. Surely that is the job of the surgery. The only number my wife had was for where she attended the appointment. She called them and was told they just do the scans, and don't send out the results. After a lot of faffing around they gave her 2 phone numbers to try. No go on the first, but was informed by the person on the other number that results were sent on to the surgery on the 12th. We now have to try to get through to the surgery again to see if they do have the results.
Cloudy and cold again but no rain. It tried to rain briefly yesterday but gave up before anything got especially damp. This weather pattern is stuck apparently so we've got another week of this at least. I'm glad I didn't buy that apple tree for my parents' garden now or I'd be fretting that no one would be keeping it watered.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
It's the same here. Cloudy, cool, drying breeze, no rain. There were a few drizzly spits in the air yesterday morning but not even enough to be bothered bringing the washing in. No rain in the forecast until 12th June according to the BBC weather site, and even then it's not a high probability.

Our weather pattern is also stuck, torrential rain and storms everyday for the foreseeable, the garden is a complete mess, please help yourselves to some water.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
