The Goose and Carrot Pub Thread

Everyone is welcome, and the thread disappears after 90 days.

Thank you for the last thread @lougle. I hope the doctor was helpful and DD2 isn’t feeling too rubbish this morning.

DS1 has used the last of his EOTAS hours today. There will be at least a few weeks before the EHCP is finalised and funding restarts. He will hopefully have his operation during that time, but it is still going to feel like a long time without that provision.

We have pack of butter but that's the whole pack like a supermarket pack. Always had that as a child too.

Plumber in at 8am. Just helped DH put the worktop in place and I cleaned the floor in there. Hope 8am isn't going to be too early for DS but am keen to get it done tomorrow. Electrics quote in and accepted for fitting jacuzzi bath and they also said we need a new consumer unit so getting one of those. Bath due around 22nd.

A pat of butter is usually 8oz in the uk. (Though possibly shrinkflationed now). It is “patted” into shape when you make it by hand.

A pat of butter now is the tiny things served in gold wrappings (rarely butter). A pat of butter is the gorgeous butter slapped with paddles into a shape. I have a butter curler that scrapes off of a pat it is very satisfying. I haven’t used it for years. This is my sign to get it out again.

We watch the same 2 tv programmes every week day to carve up the day. The Chase and House of Games. Always catch the final lot of the auction in between switching channels. A set of fruit cutlery was sold today. DD said she would like to be a person that has time to get the fruit cutlery out. Me too.

I make butter fairly regularly (it’s cheaper and I’m home anyway so…). I think a curler might be very pleasing.
