When Life Sends You Lemons ...
The base of my kettle was looking a little bit scaly ... we are lucky here with our lovely Lancashire water, it takes a long time for scale to appear in various household gadgets, unlike when we lived down south when the first boil of a kettle made the scale appear as if by magic ... so I had read a tip that lemon juice would help remove it.
It doesn't, well it might have made a little bit of a difference but not to the same effect that a simple slug of vinegar does. So I redid it with vinegar ... and lamented my wasted lemon ends. 😔🍋
So ... when life sends you lemons, don't attempt to descale your kettle with them, anything else but not that.

It's Been a Good Week Up To Now.
Fresh shopping, bargain biscuits, free jam and tasty dahl ... it's been a good week up to now.
I've just edited this post to include the shopping from the Farm Shop we went to after my birthday lunch at Barton Grange yesterday. Alan paid as he bought things too. So free food for me ... including the extra mayo and napkins from lunch.

It's That Day Again,
Celebrating something .... or perhaps it was just a wine day. 😄
And to scare you all off, me now 64 today. Bloody hell how did that happen?
Just me, you can take me or leave me ... but I'm the only one I've got, so you're pretty much stuck with me if you want to read my wild and wacky ramblings. 💖
Thank you for always being here.
