I'm fed up with the increased cost of organic meat and vegetables. Why can't I find any inorganic foods? They must be cheaper, surely? 😂
Interesting meal tonight. Looked up a taragon leek and chicken dish. Thought the photo looked great, with red onion and courgette, a sort of Provençal. It was two different recipes. Decided to combine them and yes, great meal!
It's international food weekend. A full on roast beef and sushi practice to make sushi with my twin Anglo Japanese grandchildren tomorrow.
Although I was only 5 I remember the Aberfan disaster. It wasn't that far from where I lived - the next valley. I remember the TV coverage and my mother crying. R.I.P all those who perished and shame on the coal board who did so little to help. – at Brighton, England
'Things aren’t what they used to be, especially when it comes to our postal services'. Is it just me becoming an old curmudgeaon? I now call my postal 'delivery' a postal dump! theargus.co.uk/news/26636035…

Frankly, I expected nothing less from this sociopathic arsehole.

Had a session this evening on how to make sushi! Here are the ones I made earlier. Actually quite pleased. Brighton cooking school is really great. – at Brighton, England
The best decision we ever made was buying an EV. It is so cheap to run. So far this year (low mileage I know at about 3,500 miles) it has cost just over £50 with all servicing for a year £216. The biggest cost is insurance at £450 and tax at £200. All in about £1k. – at Brighton, England
Some of our traits like blue eyes or red hair have some surprising origins.

To say Burnham's triple lock proposal is "cutting pensions" is simply a lie.
Andy Burnham wants to scrap the triple lock.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Labour are not cutting pensions, they are reforming the triple lock. Pensions will still rise every year, either at 2.5% or in line with inflation. Whichever is higher. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Yet ANOTHER brexit benefit!
'EasyJet confirms when new EU hand luggage rules will apply' we won't get one free item of hand luggage. Being British we have to pay. Excellent news eh?

Re #RAFFairford
1.Police can detain terrorist suspects for 14 days, they needed 1 day so it’s reasonable to assume they’re NOT terrorist suspects
2.If explosives were found, they would be charged, they weren’t, so we can assume there were none
3.Leave the police to do their job
