I know what you mean about being finished! Fwiw this appeared on my ‘Activity’ feed

Oh, don’t get me started on kitchen refurbs. We’ll be going to court in October over ours…

Oh my word @squidge! That sounds horrendous! What did they do?

Raine!! You’ve Toblerone? I think that is a word that should be banned from this site for setting up an atmosphere of deep envy and greed. And nasty thoughts towards those that have when I have not. .

All calories fall out of food once you break them up. So toblerone only has calories until you snap a piece off, then poof. All gone.

From this robust survey, it sounds incontrovertibly like toblerone is indeed healthy. Sandra I will save you a triangle for next time we meet up. Maybe.

I had the sane thought this morning about jam, because fruit. Also it was home made and I must have burned off a few calories mashing the fruit and stirring it

That’s the same reasoning that makes me walk 15 minutes to the chip shop, Daedalus.

The logic is incontestable

Thanks 🙂
I’m still wrestling with that novel…

Yeah, WordPress can be a bit tricky. I have my main WordPress account (which I run my two blogs from) and a separate login for the Den. It seems to work OK but involves a bit of logging out and in again to different accounts. Hope it works ok for you now

Hi Vanessa, so glad you made it. Lovely to see you. Loved your writing in the SE course, hope to read more in due course

I noticed the list of topics in the forum had gone, but saw I had been logged out, and when I logged back in they were back. Sandra, have you done the thing of logging back in with ‘https’ at the start of the url instead of just ‘http’? May help to clear cookies etc
-
Daeds, I hope I never have to log out again! – bookmark is showing https, but the WordPress seem to think user name and email refer two different people.

That you research meticulously and have a great imagination? 😄
I thought that was probably the case with the girl’s age, inevitably there are going to be things that have already been covered with an excerpt that starts some way in. Enjoyed reading it, and look forward to seeing more

Superb blog, Skylark, and a great pleasure to read. I’ve wanted to go to the FoW for years, with it always a bit out of reach, but this year I really wanted to go for the sole reason of seeing your moment of triumph. (Not to mention hearing your words of wisdom). But there will be more such moments and I look forward to seeing them i…[Read more]

Only just got to this. Great stuff. Works by itself or could be part of something longer. I had a couple of comments and then I realised there was an updated version that had addressed them. Great voice, and I love Florence’s, ahem, sangfroid and acerbic wit.

Wow, that’s brilliant. So lucky. I’ve only seen dolphins twice, both times because I happened to be looking in the right place when they breached. Did you get a good view?

I really enjoy this Sophie. I thought it really came alive when we were inside the room and inside his head. Really compelling internal monologue, lots of info and hints at info contained within the that but none of it telegraphed. Just enough to intrigue and pull you in. You do this sort of ‘dark underbelly’ of society so well.

This might relate to the maintenance that was done yesterday. Note from ‘admin’ says: Some minor site maintenance has been going on today. It shouldn’t have caused any disruptions, however there is now an automatic redirect to using the site with the SSL certificate. You may find that the Den logs you off and asks you to log back in using h…[Read more]

I think so. I doodled it on a post it note years ago while on the phone, but quite liked the pic so I kept the jpeg around. They also feature in the WIP.
Nice. I look forward to reading some of that. A griffin featured in the book that got me enthusiastic about reading in my childhood, so I have a soft spot for them
