I tried to run about with them and I will take their advice to go back to the gym as an elderly man, aged 71. They were wild and such fun to be with, though varied in their reactions when they knew I had always known I was gay since I was ten years old. They lined up against the fence here and I knew I was shooting into the sun but so be it. Interesting to see Bedgrove Park Aylesbury mentioned. I live not far away on the outskirts of Aylesbury. As a young boy I can remember playing in the fields before the Bedgrove Estate was built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Our George Foreman grill has, how can I put ... Gone to live on a farm in the country. Went looking for a new one on the high street but what was a broad product range has been replaced with many many air fryers. Eventual spent more money than I wanted to on the internet.

NYCat Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I had a close call about my shower today. I was out to lunch and got a call from my super that the plumbers wanted to run my shower and check for a leak. What!!!!!! Well they found nothing. The space below me is vacant and only used occasionally. Someone had called the plumber about a leak but my super couldn't see where it was. He told them next time call him first so he can see it. Meanwhile, my plumbing checked out. Paulette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my GF all the time, mostly for grilling fish. I’d be sad if it went off to a farm in the country. I don’t have an air fryer. I have no idea if I’d use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a toaster as well. Very high tech in my kitchen. Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lived on Mulberry and used to frequent A Photographers Place. Maybe we should have/revive a thread about interesting finds at the bottom of the Photography Rabbit Hole.

Bryan Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 After a gap of 24 hrs our normally incredibly reliable broadband WIFI sprang back into action. It appears that most of the town had no connectivity. I guess weather related. More good news, following storm Babet, our local river has not burst its banks in these parts, although it is running very full. TV images sadly show people not so lucky in the midlands and eastern Scotland with many homes flooded. Back to the important business of air fryers, our use would primarily be to roast potatoes and parsnips, as I do love a nice, home grown, roasted spud or three. I wonder if it could be used to make Yorkshire puddings ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Michael, another good reason to buy an air fryer ! We won't be using any beef dripping in our recipe however, strictly olive, or maybe sunflower, oil !

I'm still looking for the lift at Baker St tube and the first class carriage on the Circle Line. HS2 has swathed through the middle of England so it is hard to get across to the East & West main lines. What a turkey it is! Even the tory voters in Bucking Ham Shire have stopped voting tory.

They sound like me re HS2 but angrier. Yesterday I was in London photographing what I believe to be one of the biggest marches I can recollect, the National March for Palestine. You could never have done it even on the marches periphery with a big suitcase so a good job you didn't try. I was working out of a large shoulder bag and that was too bulky for the crowds. The weather varied between sunshine, overcast, drizzle, light rain, heavier rain to an extended torrential downpour before I finished.

Bryan Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 While I deplore the appearance of Xmas related items in the shops as early as this, I must confess to having purchased the ingredients to make Christmas cakes, one for us and one to share between our two sons. I'll probably wait for a cold day so that the heat of the oven warms the house. The aroma of brandy, sugar and fruit cooking is a joy. Then there is the need to start practising playing Xmas Carols for the annual fair that our village hosts. Finally, I've just received a delivery of a bare rooted rose to plant, we spent quite a bit of time choosing this one, it should provide lovely strongly scented blooms next summer. (Pity about the plastic packaging, cardboard and paper would have been fine.) It might be getting colder, and the days shorter, but all is not lost !

The twin grandsons had an unexpected visit and the family gobbed half of it while I was out- for some reason they overlooked the 200g one from Lidl. The rest will be in in severe danger later this morning. Ah well. At least I still have the Riesling, and the Lemberger, and the Tokay, and the €6.49 gin...........
