^Lucky Frank, poor Lord Ginger.

Good tips there, GF. I'll bear them in mind. Is that one of those push pans, by the way? 18 cm diameter?

Yes, that's one of the pans. Ideal for a half recipe.

I use a deep sprung quiche / cheesecake tin for most cakes which aren’t tray bakes.

I’m really tempted to make that cake soon.
We’ve been told our new oven is ready for delivery , so that would be a great recipe to christen it with!
The only way we can contact the shop is to call in in person…How stupid is that?….we’ve already paid for it. Looks like we’ll be having an outing tomorrow - fingers crossed we can park nearby- otherwise OH will have to drop me off. I do want to go as I want to get some sweet pea seeds from the nearby garden centre. Maybe I could just wait in the car.

Bren, some of my Sweet Peas have germinated so I feel we are getting nearer the planting season.

I never heard of pikelets or chocolate concrete so had to look them up.
Have a good day all.

Evening

Bramble I've got a few sweet peas on a spare bedroom windowsill they'll soon be going into the GH till its time to plant them out.

Its been a good day to be out and about here sunny with a slight breeze, so the laundry went out early and it actually dried.

enjoy your evening.

I think it's my Leicestershire roots, the mention of "cobs" took me back nearly 40 years too, don't hear that anymore unless I say it, which properly confuses the Scots.

Ah . Thatl be why I've not heard fuddle up here. Fettling yes but not fuddle .
Cobs?. Bread cobs is all I've heard of.

Afternoon all,still feel dreadfull,may wing the DR tommorow,nothing seems to be working,honey lemon,steam baths,olbus oil,even some shots off baileys,and parosetamol,no good ringing 111,as i cannot talk,and keep coughing,so am stuck in on my own,please do not get the violin out,as the noises from my chest is enough iritation,so no choir in the morning,pleased to hear your knee is improving Nicos,just don't over do it,

Lottie, this is the virus I had for the last week or two...Couldn't get rid of it no matter what I did.
Ended up being referred to emergency doctor.
A course of antibiotics and a 3 day course of steroids helped to get it under control.
I am never Ill but this really floored me.
Think you may need to see a doctor.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
