The flowers are artificial and I just shoved them to the back of the table. I've never been sufficiently Stepford to cope with the real thing. I just dunk them in water when they start to look a bit dusty. Yup, olive oil. Frying is still allowed here, but one makes what concession to healthy cooking as one can these days. The wretched clinic has sent me a questionnaire for the well-woman clinic. One question asked: 'do you cook using...  a steamer, boil in a pan, a grill, a deep fryer.... etc. etc, and I ticked every box. I am at a loss to know what they hope to learn, unless of course someone just ticks 'frying' and nothing else, and there was no option for 'I don;t cook, we all eat at MacDonalds or the chippy.' Did you not notice the biscuits?! How could you not notice the biscuits?! Hobble-nobbles? I thought it kinder not to mention them. >8^) Are they HobNobs? I am not sure. (I cannot tut at biscuits because I made one of they refrigerator chocolate (posh dark chocolate, as well)  cakes yesterday, complete with biscuit bits, chopped marshmallows, cherries and chopped ready to eat apricots. Too much syrup so it didn;t set. This morning down the road and bought a big block of milk chocolate and it wasn;t big enough so again this afternoon and this time melt the marshmallow mixture all up and added almost half a box of icing sugar. Tonight we have rather expensive chocolate fudge with lumps in. 8) Cake, it is not.) Actually, I was a bit miffed to realise  I haven;t got photoshop in yet and I did want to stare at the peacock blue container; the one with the red and white label. I am sure I recognise it. I think of something like .. Not baking pwder or bicarb, but the other one... Tartaric acid? No, that's not right.. Tartar... something. But as every big store sells their own pot, it could be anything. That is what frustrated. I also see a Kenco coffee jar. (this is like a game) and what 'could' be a box of icing sugar in a carton on the floor. I spy, with my beady eye.... A Blue ironing board like wot mine is. OOooo more photos!! I say. I bet the dust has been tremendous. That is a very determined colour but as the room is large will be okay, I bet. Me, being unimaginative rather like the beigey-boring shade of the plaster. The sort that flattens walls, not sticks on cuts. LdB Subject  Eeek! The DIY-er opposite is on the roof!  Re: Eeek! The DIY-er opposite is on the roof!  Re: Eeek!
