Oh Nutmeg. (Don't tell her, I did laugh a bit.)

Ok, I'm going to do a bit of trumpet blowing (or perhaps a Swanee whistle). The first reviews are in for The Laudanum Ladies' Society and they're pretty good. It's always a relief when they aren't dreadful so I can sleep easy. mybook.to/LaudanumLadiesSoc  #books #relief #bookreviews

My brother-in-law posted that they're on a boat trip out of Ullapool earlier and it was pouring. My sis-in-law said it was 10 degrees. I was quite jealous!

Is it Michigan? It might be! There are cherry orchards, and she makes cherry pies and Swedish bread and all kinds of cookies and listens to audio books while she's working. I find her videos extremely soothing.

I often watch reels by a woman who bakes for an inn somewhere in the US and she makes 'coffee cake' every day and I have to constantly remind myself that the reason it looks weird is because it's not cake with coffee in. (I say 'weird' - it looks delicious. But not brown.)

It was a bit like this.

Ah, yes, I see and understand the contradictions there. (I usually just don't bother to clean the oven at all, but then Ollie got a new job and he said we should spoil ourselves. 😄)

IT'S RAINING! I'M GOING OUTSIDE TO FROLIC!!!

Well, I mostly use mine on the bath, it's okay? The one I bought has a telescopic handle so I can clean the walls with it as well, when I can be arsed, it's good for that. (I paid a man to clean my oven earlier this year. Now THAT was amazing, I felt like a millionaire, it was SPARKLING.)

(I bought one of those it's not as brilliant as I'd hoped.)

Damsons make excellent jam, if you get them before the birds do.

Yeah there was a big effort made with cowslips I think, it's partly to do with when the verges etc. get mown. (I'd only seen them in books until about fifteen years ago!)

I dunno, I think you're right that they just tidied up, no point pretending, really, if you've got a St Andrew's cross what else could it be? Although Madeline is right, I wonder why they're not selling it as a business, if it's successful.

I'm gonna call him Stick Boy Basket Head

Yeah, I guess it's like nightclubs. I refuse to accept those sofas as glamorous though, I don't care what you've done with the lighting.

Ha ha, just a stick with a basket on, it's only one tree, I'd be pushed to find enough work for a person!

The Hatchback of Doctor Moreau.

When I edit erotic romance that includes a sex club (not every time, but more than once!) I always think, I wish I could believe these places were glamorous. Practical maybe (wipe clean!) and efficient, which is good, but not really very glam. (Partly because glam is hard to clean, I accept that.)

It's a bit narrow isn't it. 'Oof sorry mate, didn't mean to kick you right in the teeth.' 'He'll pay extra for that, won't you Darren?' *Much laughter*
