He really was @CinnamonOrangeCremeBrulee .

I watched the 1st episode of marriage. They had more minutes of tense silence in that hour than we’ve managed in 34 years. I thought James Bolam was incredible though as the gaslighting Dad.

Well we’ve distracted ourselves with kitchen planning. Spent 3 hours at wren at the weekend designing a new kitchen, DDs first question-

where’s the fridge?

doh…

Loving the pet pics. I've shown our dogs so here's ds3's pet. I'm hoping ds2 has looked after it.

@Wheresthebeach we had a new Wren kitchen fitted last summer, very pleased with it

Cat

James Bolam was excellent I agree @Zebracat . Superb actor.

Oh that’s nice to know

Emotional Support Rabbit

Awww!@KingscoteStaff A complete bundle of cuteness.

Not my cat but is always in my garden and tries to sneak into the house often.

I’ve met the front man of my favourite band quite a few times as I’m a little obsessed and have waited around before and after concerts (not a stalker!) 😂

Met Dermot O’Leary a couple of years ago, he was lovely.



@EquallyDivided - your cat is very similar to mine.

@coffeeandbiscuittime gorgeous. We have a black and white too, her she is inspecting a hedgehog

I'm awake. Sorting my car insurance and a CCJ against a company that won't give me a refund in County Court Claim. Is this where I'm supposed to be, until 8.15am?

I had an awful nights sleep.

Well. We can be here or on the real one. I have a distraction about a distraction!
I cooked an elaborate dinner last night, adapting an Ottolenghi recipe to the stuff I had. I never thought I would write such a thing, I don’t like cooking! I didn’t have pomegranate or pomegranate molasses, but I do have a tree full of plums. So I made a version of Fesenjoon by slowly caramelising 2 onions and grated carrots, adding walnuts and stock, and as many plums as I could be arsed to stone. It was like the best tomato sauce ever. Absolutely gorgeous, and cats

Zebra your Fesenjoon (never heard of that before) sounds dribblingly good.

This is just here for those that need to take their mind off the R word. I actually just spent an hour watching whatever videos popped up on my Facebook. That was good , some extracts of American crime dramas.

Wheresthebeach, DH’s elderly uncle had a Wren kitchen fitted and it was shockingly awful - he was completely ripped off and left with a half finished kitchen and no customer service AND it cost a fortune!

We used our own fitters not the Wren ones
