Re: Heating Tea

I'd drink coffee if it's gone cold (lukewarm), or, very rarely, I'll reheat it a bit in the microwave. Tea, nah, make a new one. Maybe I'm just now used to drinking coffee that's gone cold.
Wife never drinks the last gulp of her coffee, there's always some left. Weirdo.

We should probably sort that out. Can we get SundayJumper and Speedingfine along too, and try to get you all in at once?
sounds good to me.

Re: Commuting Question

10 mins each way isn't that short a journey, and you'll get some heat into the car if you're going down a 70mph road in it. I bought a folding ebike* and have cycled to work on it (there you go, HMRC - tick) but I wouldn't be doing it down any fast roads and only when the weather in not too hot, and...

Shepherd's/cottage pie - mash

I've never really found something that could replace our Yeti in a modern (better) way but you might just have found it (or the GLB to not quite get into the modern age).

Hmm, seeing as I've been using a £15 Ikea chair to work from home for the last 3 years, I should probably get something more ergonomic (although surprisingly, my back hasn't failed yet).

Garage Door Servicing

I didn't know this was a thing. Our motorised garage door, about 2 years old, has started making some ominous noises in operation. https://youtu.be/EIcb511tt0c I first put it down to the weather but it's fairly consistently making a racket. As I don't want it to fail and risk leave the garage insecu...

Re: The fry-up of correctness

I used to grill my bacon but I like using the fat from the bacon rind to cook it in, no extra butter/oil, to a decent level of crispiness, then using the remainder of the bacon fat for the eggs afterwards (which are quick, so the bacon stays hot). Then into a toasted bagel, with a smear of brown sau...
