    How can this be

    Hungry yeasties having a party. Did you notice a lot of activity?

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Gallows humour. You will see more of it, and accept it as it becomes more normal. I think he knows by now that he may be at least a bit responsible for his own condition.

    The Coronavirus thread.

    How do you ban people from flocking to one place though? You could say it was empty till all these other people showed up. You could close them all, but many have cyclepaths in them so you wouldn't be allowed to use those either. I think someone mentioned stopping at traffic lights on a bike...

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Because of the lag I don't think they have seen the danger yet. We did the same thing in the UK until the numbers started climbing. The US is also in this phase of trying to convince their public that this is serious, as I think they are still using public transport and keeping business as...

    Birds in my garden

    I used to feed from the ground but due to seeing the infamous brown squirrel I now have a bird table, and only feed in the morning. It's all gone by lunch. We have two red robins, male I presume from the same family, saw a wren yesterday which is unusual. I occasionally see golden eagles...

    The Coronavirus thread.

    As An Ankou says, there are a lot of small clothing and underwear companies still here that could be ordered to make masks and improve protection for front line workers. Also more basic masks for the rest of the population when out shopping. It was easy enough in 1939 to manufacture two types of...

    Guess what it is

    Is it bung that satisfies the need to carry a full range of sizes? Many are 'one size fits all', so is this the "Many sizes and doesn't fit anything"?

    The Coronavirus thread.

    This makes no sense to me. If they are giving guidelines to the public then why on earth are they not acting on them themselves? It just shows shoddy leadership. Well if Bojo comes back in a week maybe it is ok for an employer to ask the same of all their employees? I also think the figures...

    Elderflower cordial

    I've posted the recipe up on it's own, then realised it should maybe move into the WOW section, but may get lost in there. Worth a go and would be interested if you change direction with it. I think I would reduce the sugar a bit and add some oak chips next time...

    Make Do Food for the Crisis

    Thanks for the tips on the beans. Currently I'm soaking about 50g as of last night and changing water often. I want to see if they will sprout as they are old. If so I will blanch then add to a stir fry. If they don't they will get boiled and go in a chilli. Quinoa flakes - flapjacks sound good...

    Make Do Food for the Crisis

    Having sorted through a cupboard - what the hell do I do with dried Adouki beans and quinoa flakes? :?: My partner went though a phase of buying all kinds of weird s!!t and a lot of it was just shoved out of sight and forgotten about. Just finished off a spicy soup made with a few fresh veg...

    Make Do Food for the Crisis

    That was a problem for the local mens' shed polytunnel as every few months they had ripped sides due to thefts. My own frugal recipe is sausage pasta. Can be made with half can of spam or half can of hot dogs. Fry cubed spam or hot dogs with garlic/ small onion, and smoked paprika. - Makes it...

    Well that should sort the social distancing for you.

    The Coronavirus thread.

    Going to get my partners prescription today I had to navigate past two people with a dog on one side of the road who had stopped to talk to FIVE people with a pram on the opposite side of the road. This went on for some minutes until I gave up and took my chances walking down the middle of the...

    Keeping chickens

    When I kept a flock of 50 I found that wood ash thrown in the coop first before old hay really kept the mite problem down. It also helps the used bedding when it eventually composts. The wood ash seems to be very alkaline and fills all the small cracks that the mites would normally live in...
