Chin up Raven hope it's better than you expect.

Some of us are clever enough not to go through that twice !

Today at 11am I put some braising steak in the slow cooker with lots of onions and carrots and thought that would be lovely for dinner and ready by 5pm. I've just come into the kitchen to turn SC down and the bloody thing isn't switched on at the wall.

I guess its now egg on toast - or beans !

Or beans on toast with an egg on top. That's nice..

Alex.. What about the lovely aroma of onions and braising steak cooking.. !!
Surely there was a clue there ...

Alex · January 31, 2022, 04:58:24 PM

There should have been Scrumpy, my mind was elsewhere

The Amazon Alexa linked air condition meter I got not going into meltdown would maybe have given me a clue. Any cooking and it's in the red.

Alex · January 31, 2022, 05:14:57 PM

Do you really think I need more technology in my life ?

klondike · January 31, 2022, 05:19:37 PM

You don't need one of them. On the plus side it tells me that particulates are low. I got it as I live on a main road. The problem is it doesn't differentiate between harmful volatile organic compounds and the smell of cooking. The tumble drier gets it whinging. Drinking a lager gets it whinging. Even a good fart shows up.

Hells bells klondike I imagine you've reached this age without worrying about air pollution, the only meter I've got is a Smart Meter and that's in a drawer

klondike · January 31, 2022, 06:24:02 PM

I was interested more than anything. There's nothing I'd do about it anyway as the only way I'm likely to leave here is carried.

very windy again, although not to the same degree as Friday and Sunday. Hopefully it will die down

well, it hasn't died down so far - yesterday there were lots of small branches broken off everywhere but, locally, nothing serious, but a fairly large tree was brought down by Friday's (was it Friday? Days tend to blend) gales, fortunately onto an empty field
