In weather like this, there's nothing to do except curl up with a book

I'll be reading my book It's The Menopause, eating doughnuts and drinking tea today.

Is that the Kaz Cook one? Let me know what you think of it

And, ooh, doughnuts. I could use some of those…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes it is. I'll let you know.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’ve read it, it’s great. Informative and funny, I learned a lot from it. If you have read any of her other books it’s similar. Im pretty sure one of my responses to her survey is quoted in there, though they changed my age.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’d like it to meno-stop, thank you very much

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Apologies. Our best options on the catalogue are meno-fastforward and meno-rewind.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Tape is now spewing out and it’s making high-pitched squealing noises - is there anything in the catalogue for that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Have you tried turning it off and on again

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Good question.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

And a second pot of tea, with fruit toast. Loving it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Agreed. Absolute garbage weather and we are going to have a least a week of it if the forecast is anything to go by.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

just some light housework and ironing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Had to do a dash to Kmart to pick up an order, but that's the plan for the rest of the day (with the addition of a snuggly cat or two). Bliss
