COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

History is always interesting. Thank you for the historical trip.
I am pissed off too when I do not get from amazon what I`ve ordered. Can I blame Denmark for this ?

I think we're blaming France this week.

Speaking of peeling onions, I have learned how to do it and not cry!

Because the tear inducing oils are concentrated in the root end if the onion, dont break or cut into the roots. Start cutting at the other end, and toss the root end when you get to it.

I have also learned how to peel onions without crying.
Get wifey to do it in another room.

Hello!

Nice to not see you in the CDR We are a friendly bunch from around the world in here ... mostly with a slightly wonky sense of humour

I see you have been introduced to some of the weirder figments of our imagination, but please do pull up an armadillo, make yourself comfy and join in the chat. I shall be popping in with a few postcards from time to time over the next couple of weeks

"Figments of our imagination" ?

Good evening all. We seem to have struck gold with this holiday house. It is huge, very smart and has fine views of the Cevennes mountains in the distance. It is cheaper than other houses we have rented in this area,so we keep looking for the catch and haven't found one yet!

The sun is shining in exactly the wrong direction for my phone camera to cope right now, so I will take photos in the morning.

Sounds lovely.
But the catch is that the sun will always shine in the wrong direction and you'll be completely unable to take photographs.

I should try this. I cry my eyes out when I peel onions. [emoji24] A chef in Turkey suggested sniffing on a piece of bread while cutting onions. Helps me somewhat.

Bread pellets stuffed up the nostrils is better.

It always makes me jump when i read headlines such as, "Doctor Who Murdered 70 Patients is Struck Off!"
or, "Doctor Who Saved Hamster Gets Medal."

I must’ve caught it from you. It’s contagious!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

If you keep your onion in the fridge it is supposed to help as well.

Peel it in the fridge?

Or a pair of pencils...

Not sure if that works with onions.
Will try.
Or get wifey to try.

Maybe alien.
One or two of them were certainly not life as we know it.

Very interesting. How do you noticed that they were not alive as we know it ?

Good idea.
