Sometimes it’s time to put things down for a while and do something else - I hope a runcible spoon is being employed with that quince - are you making jelly?

Still fighting with the first of the arched window curtains. Getting demotivated as it's not going according to plan. Being easily distracted a delivery of quince has given me an excuse/reason to do something else.

Darn ...back to Google 'Runcible spoon .'.Sometimes it’s time to put things down for a while and do something else - I hope a runcible spoon is being employed with that quince - are you making jelly?
From the Edward Lear nonsense poem "The Owl and the Pussycat". No such item of cutlery ever existed - it just fitted the rhyme:Darn ...back to Google 'Runcible spoon .'.
Thank you @Annb.From the Edward Lear nonsense poem "The Owl and the Pussycat". No such item of cutlery ever existed - it just fitted the rhyme:
"...they dined on mince and slices of quince,
which they ate with a runcible spoon.
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
(The moon, the moon)
They danced by the light of the moon.
Not quite sure what you are creating, other than mischief, but I felt creative was more appropriate than funny. Poor Lauren.Thank you @Annb.
Lauren is very well read, and it frustrates her that I haven't got the range of English (?) Classics she has.
Don't get me wrong, I love to read and devoured paperbacks, hardback, of all sorts from about 11, but I seemed to have skipped a lot of the things she feels "you must know that one, everybody knows that"....
The "period dramas drive her mad"...with my "so who is HE/SHE again..? "
Sometimes I actually do KNOW who it is ...
But I ask anyway..
I feel it balances out the football questions nicely ...

Marvelous artwork. We have a desiccant dehumidifier which we use for drying clothes when it’s too cold or wet to put on the line - works really well.Fbg 6.9
The exciting topic of heat this morning.
I have been checking the 3 fan heaters and 2 ceramic heaters, running costs etc And they all work despite being 29 to nearly 40 years old (the ceramic heaters). The two ceramic heaters were the cheapest to run, and the most effective heat wise to run. Whatever the metal is outside them it doesn't even get warm, it stays stone cold however long I run those little box shaped ceramic heaters. The fan heaters dried my dry eyes too much, so back in the garage with them.
I tried an experiment this morning. I brought the desiccant dehumidifier into the bedroom, shut the door (the temperature had dropped in the night with the below freezing temperatures outside). Put it on turbo for one hour. Immediately I felt the very warm air that comes out of the vent flap (which I can adjust the angle of, but I have it directed to the ceiling so it affects my dry eyes less and I put loads eye gel on them!). I watched the temperature rise rapidly on my digital thermometer. My bedroom is small, about 2 and half metres by 3 and a half metres long. The door is shut, and that thermometer is going up. Half hour later it has gone up 2.4C! And it is still rising.
Still got to sort my YouTube vid for my nighttime TrailCam video....and finish off my Creative...(I write this in a separate app as I go along)
Midnight (cat) is constantly checking in the night on cat Jade, asleep on the swing. The fox looked up as well, but Jade has already got off the swing and is in the undergrowth watching the fox, then Midnight comes out again and checks on Jade who is back on the swing.
Creative is a digital painting of Autumn.
A more hopeful picture today.
The desiccant dehumidifier has just turned off. In an hour on turbo setting, it raised my bedroom temperature by 3.1C. Humidity is now 50% (how I like it). But very quickly the temperature on the digital thermometer has dropped .1C, now dropped .2C. Now the ceramic heater needs to go on to maintain this heat...
Time for a cuppa.

Jelly yes. These quince are distinctly underipe. Make excellent slightly tart jelly recommended for eating with cheese.Sometimes it’s time to put things down for a while and do something else - I hope a runcible spoon is being employed with that quince - are you making jelly?
Good luck to MrSlim with those Medlars - probably best to leave in a box outside to get a bit of frost on them so that they go squishy - they taste nice though.Jelly yes. These quince are distinctly underipe. Make excellent slightly tart jelly recommended for eating with cheese.
we also have some medlars. Strange looking fruit that neither of us have seen before. Internet research has provided recipes. I am leaving those to MrSlim.
Beautiful artwork. Wet and chilly. Just like today.Fbg 6.9
