I've lost a bag of rice in my kitchen. Now when I say I it probably wasn't me but was one of the 'not me's' I live with. I couldn't make the dinner I had planned without it, so as I was knackered I 'accidentally' ordered in.
Now I wonder where it will turn up
somewhere stupid no doubt.

Is this an inadvertent description of said Husband?

I went through a phase of stockpiling storable foodstuffs in my garage about a decade or so ago.
It is a recognisable mental illness that needs no intervention.
By the end of the madness, i'd hoarded somewhere in the region of 5kg of rice and probably double that of pasta.
Five or so years on, the madness abated, i checked on my 'store' only to find that the whole feckin lot had been eaten by mice.
I eventually evicted the mice - the turmoil of that endeavour is recorded upon these pages somewhere - but it gave me a newly huge respect for our rodent brethren.
Get ready to be more like them.

Watched Paloma Faith after the horseracing at Market Rasen last night and she was very disappointing.
She decided to be self indulgent and only play songs from her latest album and then she talked absolute crap about herself for about 5 to 10 minutes after every other song. And boy can she talk crap!!
If they are going to put on artists like Paloma and extortionately increase the entrance fees then the least I would expect is that they get them to play some of their more popular songs that the general audience would know.

@Withnail A couple of years ago I had a rodent problem, every Saturday I would get up to find the floor wet and a sinister hissing after they had chewed through the dishwasher hose. I eventually solved that with a metal one and some strong poison. Before that however I lost the ignition knob from my cooker. I'd made Spawn some toast with peanut butter and spilt a blob on the knob, went to the kitchen door to hand over the toast and turned around to see the knob disappearing up a pipe into the ceiling along with a tail. I never have found the knob and now I realise the rodent must have been sitting watching me lol

Jars! We only have wall cabinets in one part of the kitchen (in a small kitchen it makes it not feel as small) so I added some shelving in the corner and we have it filled with masonry jars full of various things - various sugars, flours, rice, pasta, etc. It’s a lot harder to put something in the wrong place when the place for jars is staring you in the face.
If they still can’t work it out, depending on the perpetrator divorce or adoption is an option.

Rode the motorbike to Wales. Went to Aberdovey food festival, hiked up a waterfall then through some clouds and back down the other side to a lake. A successful weekend I feel.

Bought two alcohol meters (hydro meters) from Ebay but both, from different sellers, arrived smashed.

Sad. The intention was that you would get smashed, surely?

I wanted to buy a fly swatter today - and no one seems to sell them anymore (Wilko / Pound shops / B&M / Range etc). I know I can order one from Amazon / ebay but just wanted to walk into a local shop and buy one, so it looks like I'll be pumping up grandma's 'FLIT' gun.

Even just 25 years back a trip out on a motorbike at night wasn't complete if you weren't trying to dislodge insects from your eyeballs at 50mph with heavily gloved hands!

There's a stall in the market selling fly spray for £1.50 if that's any use.

Thanks Hooperman - it’s just that I wanted to experience the hard-on adreniline rush of the physicality of wreaking slaughter with the swatter.
