Happy Wednesday Everyone! the rain has stopped and today is sunny, bright and beautiful. I'm having my coffee and catching up here for a bit before getting involved in a phone call I don't want to make. I have a very good friend...

Fleur Gosh my mum had a similar experience with the son of an old friend. I have no idea how he came to latch on to her, but he would call and talk to her on the phone for an hour or two! And he would write long letters rambling on about things he thought were...

I do like corned beef but didn’t want to open a tin so I just got a couple of slices from the deli counter at the supermarket. Thinner sliced than I would have done, but, hey ho ……it doesn’t really matter…. I used two of the...

Fleur @Traceyjayne Our local doctor's surgery has a bp measuring machine in the waiting area that you can just walk in and use, you don't have to see anyone or answer any questions. Is there anything like that near you?

Do you wash your raw chicken before cooking it? Apparently, this is a no-no, as it can contaminate other foods by splash-back in the sink. Personally, I've never washed chicken, and can't remember my mother ever doing...

I mostly have Weet-bix for breakfast, which you can see in the photo. It’s a wholegrain wheat breakfast cereal and one of the healthiest of the cereals. A similar product is Vita Brits which is also very healthy. Weet-bix was made...

Vince used to collect coins but the time has come to move them on. One of a special series commemorates Weet-Bix, a breakfast cereal which is nearly as popular as Vegemite. I was a bit surprised that Weet-Bix featured on a coin...

Fleur @Traceyjayne according to Michael Mosley's podcast, milled flax seed has been proven to be good for reducing blood pressure. Sprinkle a teaspoon-full on cereal or something every day and see if it makes any difference for you.

Fleur It was lovely cycling along but very hot when I stopped! But now I'm sitting outside in the shade with a cold drink. You know those 'digital nomads' who work online and travel the world, blogging about how they are working from their laptop in some hot sunny...

Fleur I went to town today and I admit it was hot at 2:30 pm when I cycled home. At least the actual cycling was fine because of the moving air but I was very hot when I stopped! But I've had plenty of drinks and now sitting in the shade doing some sedentary work.

Fleur @Wrexxo So you're having unusual weather too? We hear a lot about what's happening in the UK of course (especially southern England) and a bit about other European countries but not much about anywhere else unless a major disaster occurs.

Fleur @AmbiePam I'm going to have to make more cookies as well. There's only one left in the tin, and Big One missed out because she has been away for several days.

As I’m sure you know, I’m a keen user of ‘Freegle’, whereby people can offer things they no longer want for someone else to take away, or ask for things someone else may have going spare. Since I joined in 2003 I have given and...

Fleur @AmbiePam This stuff (at least three of the four jars) is just ground up peanuts, only 1 ingredient, as it says on the label, so that ought to be OK.

Fleur @JudyEv You basically have to spread it on buttered bread and then essentially scrape it off again - at least that's the case with Marmite. Kind of like homeopathic sandwiches

Fleur @Orson_Kart Sunglasses keep the flies out of my eyes - not that there are many these days. I have also found that mirror-lensed sunglasses have the added advantage of causing dilly-dallying pedestrians to jump out of my way more quickly!
