Things That Gladden The Heart

Attempting to make a Crunchie cheesecake for my oldest boys birthday on Wednesday, he didn’t think I’d do it, looking forward to the challenge 😀

Maltesers are a simpler alternative.
You just have to fold them in (assuming your creation is not oven baked) and you can randomly pop them on as a topping.
Good luck though.
Impress him.

The afterglow of a 25m bike ride in "feels like 3 degrees". This will be the first year I cycle through a winter so not yet sure what my limit is...maybe 0 degrees.

the hardest thing with winter rides was always hands and feet getting cold. technology has moved in some things but ive not found this to be the case when it comes to feet. back when i was having to still get it at least 300+ miles training per week. i had silk socks, merino socks, lycra overshoes and neoprene overshoes and still would have cold feet. i did my first short ride on my Fatbike on sunday, only did about 8 miles on the flat, no pain which was the most important thing. FYI my feet were freezing :ROFLMAO:

Good that you're back on the bike. My tootsies felt acceptable but only just. I just had some neoprene toe covers on my summer shoes. Only when I hit the shower did I notice how red my feet were!!

Victoria Derbyshire rattling Jeremy Clarkson at today's farmer's protest.
His hissy, whispered response to being quoted - "You people...!"
Then trying and failing to rouse those around him.

Nothing like being caught out by your own words "typical BBC" ah yes typical of them quoting an interview you gave yourself stating your position

Pompous twit
 
Moulin Rouge at The Piccadilly Theatre, what everything a West End show should be.
Also great to see and talk to so many farmers

Seeing the fields with lying water in them on the way down in the train from Stafford shows they're in for another tough farming year 😢

Just watched it. I'm not a lover of either of them but Clarkson is on record saying that what he writes in articles and says on his TV shows is largely him playing his character as a paid writer and entertainer, rather than a true representation of his beliefs.
And she did do that standard interviewer thing of snipping an old quote without context. He pointed out that his isn't a "family farm" and he could easily find other ways to avoid IT if he chose, whereas the family farmers can't, unlike most of the very wealthy who are largely unaffected by the changes.

Then why does he interview like an entitled sock stain?

I've enjoyed watching Clarkson's Farm, he very readily admits that he won't struggle due to his fortune, but other farmers aren't so lucky. I think he's done wonders for raising awareness of farming with the public, and he always seems to work hard to help out struggling farmers in his surrounding area.
 
Getting an email from EasyJet saying they are paying us £700 for a delayed flight in September. They originally refused our claim, saying it was Air Traffic and not them at fault. We accepted this, although we were mainly delayed for a technical fault as we weren't out of pocket for the delay. EasyJet then got in touch and admitted it was their fault and asked us to re submit the claim and now just got the email saying the money will be paid in a few days - Merry Christmas 😁
