Being one day behind in your mental calendar and realising it's actually Thursday rather than Wednesday. Not so good when it's the other way round.
I've some bad news for you... it's Monday!Quote:

Having a long word to type that you're not quite sure how to spell, giving it a go with some keyboard bashing in the right general direction of the letters you want and seeing the Microsoft autocorrect magically transform your ramblings into the intended word.
:agree: Indubitably.Quote:

Never even thought about that though .
Now that the weather's improving, having the window open when having and coming out the shower.
For years I had an internal bathroom and everything was too steamy. Now I have a wee velux which is plenty to provide a refreshing draft.
Spring watch on BBC2. The best most relaxing hour of the day at the moment
Eating the fresh pork crackling hot out the oven.
Sticking a headcam on my 5 year old granddaughter's head and watching the playback from her perspective. Adults are huge!
Absolutely, it's brilliant viewing and as you say, so relaxing. Never really watched it much until this series and really appreciate it now.Quote:

I get the same enjoyment from Work on the Wild Side (Channel 4), really getting into nature programmes during this tough time.Quote:

I think that’s a thread in its own right, not the big massive sellers but the ones that you listened to, that still hold strong. Document is a good example, for me Life’s Rich Pageant is the one I rarely revisit but love when I do.Quote:

I'm on Life's Rich Pageant just now, I like it but not as much as the others I mentioned. I have to say Out Of Time was the one that sounded dated (or maybe wasn't that good in the first place) but the much maligned Monster was a pleasant (?!) surprise. New thread....yeah good idea!
Coming onto the forum and seeing new posts in the Pet Peeves and Driving Pet Peeves threads :greengrin
Grapefruit juice (not the 'from concentrate' pish).
Grapefruit juice for definite, pink grapefruit freshly squeezed especially.Quote:

After Union beat Düsseldorf yesterday and in doing so handed Werder Bremen a lifeline to staying in the Bundesliga 1, Bremen fans have been ordering beer and sending it to Union's stadium. As of midday today there were 1678 crates of Becks being delivered to the Alten Försterei. I think there may be a fan friendship there in the making.
I've heard Deans called a few things before, but that's a new one.Quote:

Whenever I have a motorbike that catches me up I'll hug the side of the road to make it easier/safer for them to overtake me. I don't know if it's done in the UK, but here the biker will "wave" (kick out) his right leg by way of acknowledgement once he's overtaken you.Quote:

That’s a French thing, the waving legs.Quote:

Getting on the bowling green at least three times a week.
Opening a packet of crisps and finding that they have been over seasoned/flavoured and are twice as strong as they should be. It doesn’t happen often but when it does oh yum.
Good news story https://www.metro.news/app/2094199
Walked over the Forth Road Bridge yesterday with the wife and my youngest daughter. Brilliant.
The feeling of a wee baby, especially one's own, falling asleep on your chest. Unparalleled IMO.
Returning to a restaurant I used to visit regularly 36 years ago to find that the owner is still alive and well and his restaurant has flourished into a successful family business. My favourite dish wasn't on the menu anymore but Davide a now sprightly 86 year old still banged it together for me.
A perfect roast potato. Crunchy outside, maybe a little oily (past caring that it's no good for me). Mmmm.
A win for the Hibs come 5pm on a Saturday! A delightful feeling
Preparing to set up and sell at the farmers markets and the like that have returned. Get a real buzz from waking up early and getting ready to meet lots of new people and talk about something I care about and forget the last few months for a few hours.
That's a nice thing to read - hope it goes well and you enjoy it. :aok:Quote:

On a Sunday I can take my time and cook something from scratch. Just stuck a piece of brisket in the oven that has been dry rubbed and is sitting in a cooking liquor made from scratch. The bairn is pottering about helping mix spices and handing me things when I ask for them. Will leave that for a few hours then we'll make the sides together.
It's relaxing and it always leaves me feeling content.

I’m the same (without the kid). I love spending my Sunday cooking - can’t think of a better thing to be doing!Quote:

I love good food and to almost relearn how to cook without meat as a protein was great. We’re probably only eating meet two or three meals a week since and the meat dishes feel earned and the non meat meals still have some novelty to them.Quote:

:smokin
The weirdest thing about them is everyone likes to throw in a little joke or one liner in a tasting, but because of zoom connections it takes a second or two to get a response to them. When you’re in your rhythm it feels normal but that seconds pause it completely breaks it. Very weird to transition to presenting normal tastings to a zoom one, but still a lot of fun.Quote:
