Over the many years that I have been associated with Mylot I have heard many people say that New York Cheesecake is really good. Well, tonight, Yvonne bought one. Sadly, she says I must wait a while before sampling it. Its...

Fiacre Banks @jimbo452020 Well now, what passes for New York cheesecake at the Co-op might not pass muster in its home town, but I sincerely hope it does. Enjoy.

Fiacre Banks @rasmasandra Have you ever noticed the striking similarity between 'When I need you' and Leonard Cohen's 'Famous Blue Raincoat' released in 1971? Music, not words!

I have written before about my "hobby" of acting as an extra in films or TV shows filmed in Portland, Oregon. There was one, back in 2018, Season 2 of American Vandal, where I ended up being "featured" instead of and extra. It was...

We have lived in this house 19 years and have done a lot of entertaining over the years. Consequently, we seem to have accumulated a LOT of bottles of various liqueurs, spirits, wines, etc. Many of the bottles of port and spirits...

The contraption photographed above is a lock along the river whose course I follow for a bit each morning. Barges used to ply the river mostly pulled by horses who followed the tow path that I now follow. It’s been well over 100...

Fiacre Banks @MALUSE The barges usually had to wait for ages to get through the locks while they opened snd shut and went through their rigmarole. You certainly could not hurry the process.

Fiacre Banks @marlina Inane nonsense is tiresome. She wanted to know where I’m going on holiday (as if!) so I concocted a grand voyage around the South Seas but that only made her worse.

Fiacre Banks @Fleura We in Northern Ireland are odd (even queer some may aver) and so large employers are required to have all sorts represented on the workforce. At the ‘Protestant’ shipyard a questionnaire was passed round asking people what they were in religious terms....

Fiacre Banks @Fleura I just don’t get why all these people want to know what sort i am. Do they fancy me? I didn’t let my father see the recent census form where we were asked what we are. Not his sort of question.

Fiacre Banks @fleura There are so many categories to choose among that by the time you’ve decided what you are the notion has probably worn off.

It seems to be a given for appliances to break down just when you’d rather they didn’t. We went away for the weekend and when we returned and turned on the oven to make dinner, the stove didn’t get hot. Then the light went out. As...

Fiacre Banks @myklj999 Visiting rules are difficult. The most unreliable family member was the only one of us allowed to see my father in hospital because he showed up first. I do hope you continue to see some improvement.
