Fleur I was hoping that I would have a break if someone else did it, but it doesn't seem to be that way! But yes, they normally do appreciate it and I think it's nice to bring the group together so that people feel more a part of something.

Today was National Dill Pickle Day, and we decided at work to make a big dill out of it (see what I did there!). So we had a Pickle Fest, and people brought in just about anything they could find that was pickle related. We had...

Fleur Pickling normally just uses either vinegar, or brine (salty water). No oil involved, and you don't have to add any spices if you don't want to.

Fleur I like all kinds of pickles, but dill is my least favourite herb. So if you mean 'dill pickle-flavoured' then no I'm not really a fan.

We went to visit a friend the other day and I noticed this tree in her backyard. Can you see the green string each side of the trunk? I guess the twine supported the trunk when the tree was young and now the trunk has grown over...

Fleur I don't believe Led Zeppelin were referencing a golf course! In fact I can't believe anyone would name a golf course 'Valhalla'! Were they hoping to spend the afterlife there?

Fleur Maybe a pint of good strong porter is what we're missing, after that perhaps we could whistle and sing!

Fleur Lord Franklin is one of my favourites and I can just about remember that, I just get a bit muddled and tend to sing the same two lines as the second half of two different verses! But apparently that's too dreary.
