I keep forgetting to use Blue Sky 😅
Likewise. Apart from a pulled shoulder, and a grumpy husband, just fine 😆

You mean you weren’t invited to disembark, pronto, closely shadowed by two sinister-looking men in raincoats?

Well I never! You’ve rediscovered barley water, something with which Robinson cornered the Wimbledon courts, and the market, for many a decade and was always my cooling summer drink of choice. Giving it an Italian name makes it sound posher, or something?

Oh, you alternate between two? How does that work? Mon, Weds, Fri for one then the other days for the 2nd?
But perhaps you really mean “alternative” - to replace, substitute, stand in for?
Alternate means to take turns.

Oh what a gorgeous belly bear-trap! I’d risk the scars to be able to fluffle it.

Elaine, I think you may need to reexamine your piece about the iPad recovered from the Thames. It wasn’t the iPad’s tracking system but the SIM’s call history that aided in nabbing the criminals. SIMs are pretty indestructible.

The milkman used to comment on payday “Got your granddaughter staying, then” (they’d known one another for years & had a great rapport).
Cold milk is still the thing that comes to mind first when I’m very thirsty. Every glass of milk I drink reminds me of Nan.

Obviously,sensible teachers never allowed me more than 1 extra bottle.
Sorry, @elainegiles.bsky.social, but loved this & t’was a revelation as I don’t remember ever drinking milk in Zambia (mother hated it).Nan, bless her, always ordered extra pint/day from milkman during all my holidays with her

School milk, 1970’s. Delivered ice cold & placed in cool science area in sinks. Pupils called immediately to Milk Break. 1/4 pint glass bottles, no straws, plastic cups if need be. 6-yr-old me couldn’t get enough & used to ask to finish unopened bottles. I think my love of milk stems from this 🥛

The Ninja Foodi expert is Dr B but his is not an oven but rather a pressure cooker/air fryer/slo cooker combo

Why is Mike asking me about how a Ninja multifunction oven works? I can’t even fathom the all bells & whistles microwave Mr T gave me 2 yrs ago! Give me a Thermomix any day 😉
