My daughter lives in London and it has been sweltering there. She hasn't used the tube in weeks, declaring if she can't get somewhere by overground or bus, she won't go.
10:15 am
Haz1558

Our grass is crisping up a little, but nothing compared to the south of England. I saw overhead shots of London and was amazed at how yellow the grass is. It will recover eventually.
10:15 am
zoozzoom

Do not blame her. When I worked in London for a while it was stifling on the tube. Although I would not be able to afford the prices these days..It is so expensive now.
10:16 am

Yes all the grass here looks like hay too.
10:16 am

Congratulations zooz!!!

We tend to visit her May or October time and even then it's amazing to feel the hot air in the tube, don't blame her for staying above ground.

Must admit to not being in London for a fair few years now, Haz. It was a grubby place when I worked there. Since they had the Oylmpics the seem to have tidied the place up a lot.
10:20 am
Haz1558

We've been across a fair few times now - always something to see and do, apart from the attraction of seeing her, of course! It's amazingly busy, always, so that while I enjoy maybe 3 days or so, by the end I'm glad to come back to normality.
10:20 am
Haz1558

I don't think I could live there permanently. She seems to thrive on the buzz, but it's exhausting.

Oh I hear you on that score. I do not mind going for a day or two but always glad to be home again.

I was out of celery so I put celery seed in my curry. I used too much and now it's way too bitter. What can I do? I added a little Mongolian Fire Oil (yes that's a thing). And it seemed to help. Ideas?

Hello all! I can’t stay, but sending very groggy greetings from Switzerland. It’s 6:30 am here and I’m starting my work day on very little sleep but hoping caffeine will see me through the day! Happy to see many old friends back in babble and I hope you’ll stick around. I’ll be back soon and am itching for a chat.
