No. I should imagine if I had, I’d be lying on the grasses making snow angels picking out pictures in the clouds.

What makes me happy today is that they found the body of the shooter ! The whole state can now relax... wheeeewwwww. The horrible "all points bulletin" came thru on the phone last night - and usually when you hear it, it's bad... but last night it was GREAT all lockdowns were over, he'd been found- dead, and that the deer season could start today as usual.

Freezer no 3 is about to arrive. Fingers crossed. Have had all the wiring in the house checked. No issues and have a surge protector on the plug which should shut up the we know best people that I've been struggling to be patient with. Different brand this time.

Salted lassi in properly hot weather. Nothing better. There was a lassi parlour in Bangalore when it was still called Bangalore

Baz, when I was in London, I loved Waitrose. I would buy delicious sandwiches to eat while I was flâneuring around. I was the quintessential flâneuse!
Voy, I remember learning about Ceylon ( famous for tea), Bombay, the Punjab and other foreign places like Arabia, Siam, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia when I was at school.

New word to me that is, "flâneuse/flâneur. I'll make sure to use it somewhere. There is a slang word used that has part of that meaning and it is to mooch - "a period of time spent walking around slowly and without much purpose".

Mark, the word mooch is what a person does when they’re mooching off someone! It means to use them for free whatevers - rent, free food, free everything, not paying your share etc.

learning french, Dr Only? Been there, done that for five years at school. I realised that any language that can't count properly (70, 80, 90) is probably not for me. In fact languages are appallingly difficult to learn for me and I'm not lazy when trying to do so. Aber ich kann einfaches Deutsch sprechen. Das ist gut genug für mich. Though the numbers thing with German as well always makes me hesitate when I hear them - e.g. the number 23,456. You start with saying the number at place 2, then place 1, then place 3 followed by place 5 then place 4. Three and twenty thousand four hundred six and fifty. Reminds me of Four and Twenty Blackbirds baked in a pie...... I rely on Mrs M when we go away. She's the linguist with five fluent and two half so.

I think there are quite a few languages that do that sort of thing and I think English did something like as well for a while.

Minor in the grand scheme of things however the back neighbors are elderly (more than me) with a big section which is getting out of control. Today someone cut down the wooly nightshade. A smelly, vigorous and noxious weed species here and did it before it set seed. Delighted as once it gets going its hard to control as learned on the farm. And before you ask..sorting it myself would have caused issues.
