How does it fit with edible?

Peas - despite being not made of BACON - are allegedly edible.

In fact they can act as a significant part of your "five a day" requirement: a single serving of will cover you fully for many weeks if you eat each pea.

"Payt" vs "pa-tay". You have to supply the acute accent that would be there in French.

I was wondering the same thing! It's awful quiet here for a Monday...I was looking forward to wasting at least 15 minutes or so this morning before getting started. Laugh | :laugh:

As it was, someone posted a link to rocket explosions and somehow I wound up watching stories about reconnaissance planes and an exploding thermonuclear ICBM missile silo in 1980. (which actually happened about 10 miles from where I lived at the time) Smile | :)

Leap year called off

Maybe that was to partially compensate for the leap year calling off.

One eye doctor at the Ullevål Univerity hospital in Oslo, Norway, was hit by the Corona virus, and there was a fear that it might have spread to the othes. So the newspapers brought a photo of the sign posted on the polyclinic entrance door: "Lørdag 29. februar er avlyst" - "Saturday, February 29th, has been cancelled".

(nrk.no[^] - text in Norwegian. Entrance door is 2nd photo, closeup further below)

Sort of - just got home from Herself's sister's funeral - 7 1/2 hours driving, 1 hour waiting because I didn't trust the satnav arrive time estimate, 1/2 hour service, post service "do" with cr@p coffee and greasy fried food.

Somewhat tired, but I will resume normal service tomorrow ... Laugh | :laugh:

A few years ago we went to a relative's wedding in Swansea: the "wedding meal" was Chinese takeaway. But I have to say it was quite tasty.

OriginalGriff2-Mar-20 10:03

This was a buffet at a Beefeater - some dubious-content sandwiches (as in nobody was sure what was in then, even after they had been tasted), fries, fried prawns, fried chicken lumps, ... and cheesy garlic bread which was quite good, if greasy. And the coffee was presumably there so you buy a beer to take the taste away. Laugh | :laugh:

I'm guessing it was because it was close to the crematorium.

I have to say I was impressed with Here WeGo - with traffic data enabled it picked a much, much better route than I would and it's arrival estimate was superb, ten minutes early after a 3 1/2 hour drive.

We had a similar drive last year to a funeral in Swansea: can't recall the exact timing (no satnav in my '06 Corolla) but some number of hours down the M4. However, spending the night there, and the following day round the Mumbles (such a beautiful place) made up for everything.
