Tried a Pals pink lemon zero alcohol drink tonight. Very subtle flavour. Not really lemony. I never understand why some drinks have apple juice concentrate in them, which this does.

I had heard the term cow corner when watching cricket, so I Googled it.
A graphic of a cricket field with the sport term of the day explaining what "cow corner" is. The diagram has small cows in the corner of the field indicating where balls are seldom hit.

A friend of mine is in Iceland at the moment. This is a sign at a cafe... Anyone notice a particular native language there? If they can acknowledge it, then we can

Purchased this foil holder and also one for cling film. Still getting my head around it. Much tidier than ripped up cardboard boxes. Rice cooker in the background is still a game changer. Thanks Anko and K Mart 😁
Tinfoil holder made from plastic. Has a plastic button with blade to cut foil. We have one for cling film too.

When my kids ask me why people have red eyes in old photos I tell them they're too young to remember The Demon Uprising of 1980. Photos of 4 people with red eyes as cameras did years ago.

Spotted 'elsewhere'
When we're young, we sneak out of our house to go to parties. When we're old, we sneak out of parties to go home. Meme spotted on Twitter.
