No doubt emboldened by trump, because he'll throw Taiwan under the bus at the first opportunity.

Horrible places run by horrible people.

See, I don't think this is The Onion anymore. Because this stuff lately is just so plausible.

Interesting article. I've picked out a couple of the bands he mentions for listening to next time I'm off. Like the author of the article I wish I could go back and start again without the biases I had for decades. I have missed out on so much.

And some will use it as a training plan.

Good. The sooner, the better. With a strong, Germany, Poland, France and noe Sweden and Finland, a strong Nato presence in the Baltic states, Putin will not find Europe an easy target.

And we need to realise this hybrid warfare is testing us, and push back.

I thought this sub was supposed to be for posts from The Onion?

Colour me surprised.

Yes. Don't forget batteries for torches and a couple of solar charger power banks for your phone.

I though this was an Onion article.

Holy crap! They'll be looking for chimney sweeps next.

We never stopped.

If you think those ones we have now are leftover from the 60s, you are in for a shock.

 

My daughter is visiting and left her case open.

 

Mum! There's a submarine driving down the road!

 

Rewatching The Expanse for the nth time. It always cracks me up to see Bobby Draper stuffing those cucumber sandwiches into her face. Do you want some?

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA

My daughter is studying Creative Writing and English Literature at Birmingham (UK) University. She's put together some pieces on Substack. Most of them are over my head, but this one hits right in the feels. Apart from a couple of technical inaccuracies, it's spot on. Hope you like it ;-)

Won't be doing any laundry just yet then.

Edit - pic didn't load

 

And now I know.

 

This was my wife’s new throw/ blanket thing. Daisy never used to get on the sofa. But now if the throw isn’t there, she’ll sit and look until one of us cracks.

 

She loves these throws. And as long as I keep my ankles crossed and legs still, she'll stay.

Must admit I choked up a bit as our last two would never do this.
