You people have eaten already? I never start cooking before 10 pm.

[campagman]

I'm in bed by then.

[Mrs Pingu]

I'm defo thinking about bed by then. But then I have to get up and feed the cats at 6am.

We had paneer tikka for tea and sesame hoisin shrimp for lunch. Both home made.

[citoyen]

We had cauliflower steaks for tea. Fashionably plant-based. But I've also been doing some Friday night baking...

My parents still eat at approx 18:00.  I rarely dine before 20:00 and ofter quite a bit later.

I bet they don't, I reckon they eat at 6 o'clock. 

I usually eat later than that but that doesn't make it dining.

We’re dog sitting today for the boy’s ridiculously pampered Italian greyhound. She’s ok, but I’m not that into lap dogs and believe that there’s a dog shelf for a good reason. Hopefully she’ll settle down in a bit,and I’ll get to enjoy my coffee in peace.

We used to start cooking at around 19:30 and eat when the aperitif ran dry.  Then MrsT's folks came over to live with us and we started eating at 20:00, then 19:30, then the Inlaw Paw had a heart attack and we had to shift the main meal to lunchtime and just have a snack at 19:00. Really fuxked up our cooking fun since we were both working.

Her folk are dead now but we stick to the same schedule since yrs trly has coronary "issues" now.

Life's a bitch and then you start eating like a bloody hermit.

I had to pop into town for the first time in over a year.  It was horrible.  Sainsbury's, Argos and Starbucks all gone since my last visit. Still, the mobile phone accessory stall, like the triumphal cockroach, was still open

Spitalfields Life had something to say about it too  https://spitalfieldslife.com/

Ebay sellers.  A B17 narrow is the one that says NARROW on the side.  It is not the one that says STANDARD.  Maybe it's a certain cycle retailer (from which I have been banned) taking the mickey on eBay too!

For the first time in over a year I’m wearing my wedding ring. The winter before last I lost quite a bit of weight, enough that, on cold days, my ring would just slide off, once whilst packing the shopping in Tesco’s car park. So rather than los3 it I stopped wearing it. 2 weeks ago we were able to visit the jewellers, and today my wife collected my slightly reduced ring 

I stopped wearing mine many years ago as I used to get a rash under it.  My wife had it made into ring for her.

She was buried with it a month ago.

[rogerzilla]

My mum's was also too loose and she lost it while gardening.  About a decade later, she found it again while plantjng some new shrubs.  My dad had bought a replacement but it wasn't as good (prices having gone up over the years), so she went back to the original.

[Peter]

My wife made me get one a few decades ago because I was such a chick-magnet*.  Arthritic knuckles mean I can no longer get it (the ring) on.  This coincides with my no longer being a chick-magnet.  Not even a broiler-magnet, truth to tell.

* An innocent one, I must declare!

Andy, I’m very sorry but I must have missed this. Your wife died? I am so sorry to hear that!

[Peter]

Yes, that's very sad.  It's a lovely story about the ring - but one you could have done without.  condolences, Andy.

[perpetual dan]

Condolences from me too, Andy.

I got a puzzle ring for our engagement. Too much fiddling means it no longer goes back together quite right. I really ought to get it fixed.

[chrisbainbridge]

Andy. My condolences.

I don’t think Andy mentioned it. Condolences from me.
