French toast, bacon and maple syrup for breakfast.

How did you do yours, Richie? Any cinnamon/vanilla in the egg?

I spent the first week of lockdown improving my french toast.

I don't, my wife makes it. I'll suggest she puts some cinnamon in next time, that sounds good.

Went round the clouts wood area earlier, after doing the same last week. Beautiful part of the world

Getting a guitar for my daughter. About time really as she taught herself to play her ukelele.

She gets the guitar on the condition that she has to learn to play redemption song.

I wanted a way to make my home smell nice without using artificial sprays or plug-in things that are surely full of nasty shitty chemcial smells. So I bought a little electronic 'diffuser' and some essential oils, which are just pressed from plants I think. The little machine was about £20 and it works by vibrating the water at a certain frequency that causes it to turn into a steamy vapour, spreading the smell of the oils mixed in with it around the room - no heat is applied to it. There were 8 different oils in the selection, but the lemongrass and 'sweet orange' are my clear favourites.

I don't know what it is about it but I still (had it about 2 weeks now) find the whole thing fascinating and regularly find myself taking the lid off to examine the vapour-making more closely (there's nothing to see), or stopping while walking past and wafting my hands/face into the vapour. Something about the whole thing just makes me smile. Currently experimenting with mixing the different oils to see what the combinations are like.

We have a couple of those. The whole process is pretty relaxing! From the noise, to the vapour to the smell.

See the one my wife bought had the opposite effect on me - it kept getting knocked over and oil would go everywhere each time, so it got chucked. Literally.

Started watching the Man City All of Nothing documentary and just at the bit where Mourinho is explaining that he dropped KDB at Chelsea because he had a shit game against Town :-)

There is a Wikipedia article entitled "Lists of Lists of Lists" and it actually makes coherent sense.

Absolutely dreamy for compiling quizzes!

Was it Samdy who reverted it all or am I bearing a mild grudge unnecessarily?
