Just opened a pack of Chunky KitKat. The bars are only about two thirds of the original size and the chocolate coating is much thinner. What a bunch of scumbags! I won't buy that product again. These tightarse firms are cutting their own throats.

I 'passed' one earlier, or at least what felt like one... Needed a double-flush to shift it.

Every Monday the missus goes to Slimming World. They meet to discuss recipes, talk about their progress and get weighed. I call these meetings "going to the weighbridge". She hasn't twigged yet and has called it weighbridge herself a couple of times. I'm gonna be in so much trouble when she eventually repeats it to someone else

I'm doing a bit of tiling in the kitchen and noticed that where I'd tiled previously, I'd cut slim, half inch edge fillets for small gaps. But I'm blowed If I can remember how I cut these. I've never owned a disc tile cutter, so I must have used another method. Maybe scoring and using a vice? Dunno, they're well cut though. Maybe I'm losing the plot?
I think I can replicate these cuts with my Dremel type tool and a small diamond disc.

Well it worked. I'll need about half a dozen of these tile slivers to fit around a window frame.

Very good, there is always more than one way to skin a rabbit.
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

I just 'pumped', and made the cat jump!It was warm when it came out, and the pungent aroma is lingering nicely, rather like stagnant old drains. with a smidgen of rotting silage!

I try to avoid 'savouring the flavour'.
The dog's been good lately. It's usually him stinking the place up and his are godawful!
