First-World Problems.

I'm now in the pub, wearing shorts. Their dog keeps licking my legs..... I must taste of something nice....

I just had to fill in my details twice to order a ticket at Raby Castle, as the first time through Adblock wouldn't let the Online payment system open up. And the autocorrect insisted on me typing in each box instead of filling the boxes automatically.

Bobb and I have just had to pay an additional £56 between us for the privilege of sharing a double bed when we go to Mykonos in 67 sleeps.

A mouse has been removing the contents of the food cupboard and relocating them to various nesting points around the house.

As a result, my yoga mat is full of lentils. 

[Cudzoziemiec]

Oh dear, I do hope they're organic. You wouldn't want pesticide-ridden pulses in your yoga mat!

Each summer I treat myself to scones, Wilkin and Sons Little Scarlet strawberry jam, and Cornish clotted cream.

First the scones run out, so I have to buy more to use up the cream. Then the cream, so I have to buy more to finish the scones. Then the jam.... and so the endless cycle goes on and on.

[Auntie Helen]

I need to buy some scones to take back to Germany on Sunday (with the Little Scarlet and clotted cream of course). Do you have a recommended Scone supplier?

[Wowbagger]

Mostly in Scotland, I believe. You could contact the Old Stables Tea Room at Paper Mill Lock and see if they could prepare a batch for you. Am I right in thinking that Little Scarlet it a flavour of Wilkins Jam? Good scones deserve nothing less than jam from Tiptree, although again some of the Dundee confections pass muster.

The artisan baker in town was closed when I went past this morning will have to settle for biscuits instead of a pastry with my coffee this morning.

 You have an artisan biker? Oh..... <Books appointment with optician>

The Sainsburys man burst my tub of buttermilk so I won't be getting any freshly made scones this weekend ;(

If I can't persuade Mrs O to make some, then I have to make do with Waitrose's best.

My M+S crayfish salad with edamame beans and noodles was disappointingly bland.

My mother and I went to the Royal Academy last Monday to see the Summer Exhibition.
It was CLOSED for the day so we had to go to Fortnum & Mason.

My mother makes the best scones.... her cheese scones are to die for, and are best eaten warm from oven slathered with butter.

You may have a heart attack - but you'll die happy!

Substitute "the Carlsberg brewery" and "the Tivoli Gardens" and you have my day in Copenhagen in 1993

[Canardly]

Sat on the M25 for 2.5 hours on Friday evening last whilst attempting to travel the few miles around to the M3, the thought occurred to me upon gazing at the 8 lanes of static machinery (or is it 10?) with countless thousands of vehicles in both directions, do we not comprehend how barking mad this really is?

Having grandparents in Copenhagen made Tivoli a fairly frequent treat.

They lived here http://goo.gl/maps/hwxQq

I 'did' the Tuborg brewery with my Late Uncle Robert when I was about 10... We drank fizzypop but Robert (Bier) had the BEER.
More nominative determination...

Clearly you did not.

I regularly get a taxi to Heathrow via the M25. I have been playing a pointless game where I see how single occupancy cars I can count before I spot one with a passenger. Motorbikes and lorries don't count. Last week I hit 82.

Mind you, I'd just back from the 5,500 mile flight. I should buy a bigger car.

The turmeric I put in with my rice has stained my wooden spoon yellow. It now doesn't match the other wooden serving implements.

[Wowbagger]

Waitrose! Will you please put a huge warning sign on any product of Israel so that I can more easily boycott it? I had assumed, naively, that the samphire I bought to go with the salmon steaks was locally produced.

Buy a chocolate fountain?

Make more rice with turmeric, using different implements, until they are all the same colour again.
