todayiamadaisyI planned to write about what a delightful time of year this is. End of winter citrus season, start of summer stone fruit season. Mandarins and nectarines, my two favourite fruits, in my fruit bowl at the same time. What could be better?
Only today, spring decided to do a bit of a sneak preview of summer, and the 43°C (109°F) in my back garden was not delightful at all. AT ALL. Tomorrow is supposed to be 22°C (72°F), and Thursday 16°C (60°F). Make up your mind, spring.
Too hot and not adjusted to it, I spent the afternoon flaked out on the sofa watching an old episode of Vera. And that is how I came to see an advertisement for... well, this:
There is a lot to unpack there. Not least: what is she eating to make it doughnut-shaped?
After Vera, a repeat of Grand Designs, in which the couple building the house budgeted for £800,000 and came in at £2.3 million. They were a particularly irritating couple. And very bad at budgeting. I mean, at some point, you'd just get cheaper taps, wouldn't you?
