Japanese beetles? Never heard of them! I love rhubarb crumbles and I also juice it. My friend loves to stew it and drink the juice, so I supply her too.

I'm not sure I'm much of an entrepreneur. I made my own job because I knew I could never take orders. I'm not much good with money either. I should be rich but though I have very few possessions, don't

I've loads of rhubarb. You plant it once and don't ever have to tend to it at all after that. It'd suit your style of homesteading down to the ground.

Hahaha. Whatever you call it, it's bloody irritating!

I can't remember the last film I went to see but it would have been about 10 years ago and it irritated me that people were looking at their phones and not at the film.

As a child, I had some inkling that women were considered inferior when my mother couldn't be served in the bar of the pubs she frequented but was confined to the snug. Then there was my application for

Love lavender, love the idea of having kangaroos hanging about and agree wholeheartedly that it's hard to stay pissed off when you're gardening. I don't think I'll ever get over the magic of growing things

I have to admire your fortitude. Apart from a dicky back, I’m blessed with perfect health, and I still find it difficult to get through everything I need to get done. I reckon if I were ill, I’d probably

My nickname in school was deirdyweirdy, so I think I can say with some confidence that I know exactly what you mean:)

I made some yesterday so here we go... Ingredients cup of brown lentils but I'd say any colour will do an onion a few cloves of garlic parsley cayenne smoked paprika salt and black pepper mixed spices

My mother died at 56 but if she'd lived, she could have given this guy a run for his money. In all of her 56 years I saw her take only one single bath.

I'd buy him 2 beers!

I make a mean lentil burger myself, if I may say so. They’re so good that I’ve actually served them to carnivore friends who thanked me for being kind enough to cook meat for them:)

Indeed I do! When I was a child, my family was in the second-hand book business, so I've always been an avid reader. There's just something about the feel and smell of a physical book that no electronic

Damn! I just upvoted my own comment again :) Hahaha. Yer gas! Y'know, the more I learn about you, the more I like you:)

A very worthy pursuit, particularly in light of reports that Amazon is buying up rare books, scanning them for AI and then shredding the originals.

Indeed it is. And I'm sure it gives you great joy to read my fascinating. comments:)

I may have expressed myself poorly in an attempt to get a rise out of Riverflows:) Of course I recognise beauty in art, but I have no interest in cluttering up my living space with objects, like Esmee,

Objects can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and I have no objection to beauty when it comes attached to a practical purpose. My objection is to things like River's Esmee, whose sole purpose
