4th photo down, in the cabinet on the left, Cheese Bollocks! 😂
I believe I’ve reached the pinnacle of British car boot finds. I stumbled upon this beauty at a stall selling watches and knew I had to take it home. Wooden dice, purple £100 notes and all: it’s definitely the coolest Monopoly set I’ve ever seen.
I always use the last bit it the squash bottle to fill up the bottle with water and feel pretty chuffed about the fact that I've made myself a big drink.
Today I filled up the last of the Robinson's apple and blackcurrant, bought a large bottle of Happy Shopper sugar free lemon, drank the last of the Robinson's and made myself a second big drink of lemon in the Robinson's bottle
That's almost finished. So I might fill it up and put it in the fridge for the morning.
That's three big drinks from the one bottle.

Trouble was I made the mistake of not checking if there was enough space in the garden waste bin. There wasn't so, I had to compact it.
A broken clock is right twice a day, but a kitchen cooker hob is never right…..
Only got 4 8s but managed to get all possible 9s
I'm too dull to have regular parties. These balloons were put up over 4 months ago. I'll take them down when they have completed their life cycle, which could be a few more months.
TLDR: Running a dehumidifier with the window shut may make you feel colder even if it heats the room up.
Room was 32°c but “felt like” 42°c.
Ran dehumidifier, room heated to 33°c but “felt like” 33°c.
I’m on the spectrum and one of my quirky little obsessions is humidity, originating from a damp problem in my bedroom.
I own loads of hygrometers (things that show you the relative humidity in a room) to prevent damp, and a 12l dehumidifier. I found that in the winter, when I went in the room and it was very humid (>60%) that the room would feel FREEZING. I ran the dehumidifier, got the humidity to like 40%, and the room felt amazingly warm (relative to how it was before I ran the dehumidifier).
I went down a rabbit hole the other day and thought maybe the inverse would be true, because everyone who defends themselves against Americans etc saying “29 degrees, that’s not even hot!” references how the humidity of the British Isles makes it hotter.
So I begrudgingly closed the window despite it being cooler outside at the time, and turned the dehumidifier on. I started at 32°c, at 75% relative humidity, which was absolutely unbearable, and let it run for a few hours. I ended on 33°c and 35% relative humidity, because the air was being heated by the condenser in the dehumidifier and the window was not open to let the hot air escape.
It felt SO MUCH BETTER. I later looked at this chart, and saw that what I started with, 75% RH + 32°c, had a heat index output (the “feels like” temperature) of 42°c, and what I ended up with (33°c and 35%) had a heat index of 33°c.
Maybe don’t do this if you don’t have a hygrometer (Though they’re very cheap on Amazon, etc) because if your room isn’t humid to begin with it’s a waste of time.
Human sweat cools us down when it evaporates, but at humidities of 55% and more, the sweat begins evaporating less efficiently, and this makes a huge difference to what heat feels like.
I had a dream that I was at work moving steel pipe around. Just a mundane dream of my job; a job where I have narrowly avoided death, seen fights and accidents multiple times in the span of two months.
My dream ended when I woke up at exactly 6:59am because I had to pee. Our cats were sleeping peacefully in bed with my partner and I. Often times I wake up to a cat fight, a loud crash, an engine roaring down the street, a blast of Tejanos that sounds like circus music, or even just meows for treats.
It's the 4th of July here in Texas. The summer peak of excitement most years. The world cup, summer heat, and baseball are ramping people up for road rage and other acts of violence and belligerence. I haven't even heard a stray firework or firearm discharge.
I'll be 35 years old this month. I made Folger's coffee today. I started buying Folger's because it's cheaper per-cup than other brands while still being good. I find Folger's gets overlooked- or unfairly maligned as people often don't use enough grounds and end up with a weak cup of coffee.
I hope this is not too exciting for this sub.
I just received an eBay parcel with this collection of stamps.
** update as judging by the answers, I haven’t explained myself very well. I’m well aware of other words in the English language that start with En but none below are pronounced with the E as an I sound (as in ING). **
Following the FIFA World Cup and the varied countries participating and it suddenly made me question why England is pronounced ‘Ingland’.
I’m sure it’s a simple answer but I’ve been racking my brains for other words in English (Inglish) that start with an E but are pronounced as an I and can’t think of any.
My nails grow pretty quickly and I have to trim them weekly or I scratch myself when I close my hands.
Yet I almost never need to trim my toenails.
I researched a little and turns out my inkling was right on the money.
In average, toenails grow at half the rate than fingernails do. There are a number of factors involved like apparently being farther from the heart has them receiving less nutrients, but turns out the most important factor is how mechanical stress stimulates growth.
Since you are always using your hands to touch things, while the feet are tucked inside your shoes, they don't receive as much stimuli.
Simultaneously it explains why people that are always barefoot have those huge claw like toenails.
I found this incredibly exciting which made me feel rather dull.
The Reader's Digest book's pages change colour from the Idea side of the book to the Implementation side. Very dull and made me very happy
