I pointed out that it's all very well and good when it's a @pactcoffee.bsky.social delivery, but the neighbors won't thank her if the postie starts chuckling at *their* little vices if what they get delivered is something more intimate and battery-operated.

Today involved eating a lasagna I started making back on Friday, garlic bread made with confit garlic I cooked over a week ago, and a sticky toffee pudding recipe I hadn't made for absolutely years.
Oh and some friends came over; we had two and a half bottles of wine between four of us. Bliss.

Anybody want some cheap firelighters?
We love a bargain! However as gran used to say: "It's not a bargain f you don't want (or need) it."
So even at £29 off and bargain basement price, we shall pass.

Visitors are coming, so you clean your messy house because your standard of cleanliness is based on the houses you visit, houses that look spotless since they cleaned up before you arrived after seeing your house was clean when they visited.

No-one has got mad at me on Bluesky. Or rather, if folk have got mad at me I make it my life's work to forget all about it because life's too short to carry that around in my head.
