#AAAHHH: @bumblebeebooksonline have outdone themselves this month with an absolute blinder of a book destined to become a classic, how it took so long to be translated, when it barely needs it… “An unbelievably loud noise is disturbing the world. WHERE (on earth) is it coming from?” #bumblebeebooks #books

#WHINE: I don’t drink anymore, and I know zilch about #redwine anyway, but, I suspect that I should not have put this 15/16-year-old French wine into the pot roast. What do I know, maybe it’s a cheap bottle? #guerillacooking
#BREADMAKERS: because I’ve clearly only got ten million things to do, I simply must repair my breadmaker. It’s been with me for 15 years and is only really used for kneading dough and proofing it, does a beautiful job at the right temperatures, but it does vibrate and walked itself off a table last week and broke a few bits off. So I won an identical one for £16 off eBay that is in much better condition with all the original accessories, but it’s not MY breadmaker. So at 1am I simply must dismantle everything and strip the parts off the nicer one to put on my battered one. But only the parts I need, no need to use the nicer bits for the sake of it… the rest will be totally dismantled and bagged for spares in the shed. #repair #whynot

#SNAX: curiosity demands that I return from shopping trips to Chinatown or Korea Foods with one or two unknown snacks. This week, it is the turn of “Sichuan Gluten Strip Spicy Flavour” which is basically a synthetic jerky that could kill you. They’re individually-wrapped and even I need a glass of water on standby. I’ve eaten three in succession as they’re so addictive but my mouth is on fire now so I need to have a break. #vegetarian #glutenstrip #sichuansnacks

#EAGLE: a kind gift from a friend in Oxford to junior, a 1958 annual, beautifully drawn and written. And while is it clearly “for boys” there is no explicit notice that this is the case… and the first woman to appear is a professor/scientist! #comics #annuals
