Council offers families £50,000 to not buy Right To Buy homes in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Quite a few here do. But then you have to log all the stuff indoors.

Talking to a relative that does landscaping etc. and he said a make of his woke up to his van being broken into. They used an electric saw to cut it open. He threatened them and one of them said ‘OK, I might take a beating. But we know where your wife and kids are. We’ll just come back again when you’re out’.

Especially when they are frequently broken into and tools nicked.

Does anyone have experience of this, and more importantly, is it any good?

Thanks

Make your mind up! (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

From the same article:

'The UK could see a return of 30C heat just in time for the coming bank holiday Monday - as what is expected to be among the hottest summers on record continues.

And

Weather over the weekend will be largely dry and cloudy, with temperatures expected to peak at 24C on Sunday.'

Make your sodding mind up!

Small bird rescue (beehaw.org)
 

So yesterday I rescued a young Robin that caught its leg in our garden feeder. All OK.

Yesterday evening I went to the kitchen to start dinner and there was a sparrow flapping about by the kitchen window. The kitchen door next to window was wide open, but our cat Daisy was prowling round so that probably stopped the sparrow from flying out. Managed to get hold of it and it too was uninjured. Off that went as well.

Don’t think Daisy had caught it as she is too slow. So much that that she either ignores the birds (apart from making funny noises at pigeons and magpies), or they stay out of her reach.

Wonder what animal rescue I have today.

Rewatching The Expanse for the nth time. It always cracks me up to see Bobby Draper stuffing those cucumber sandwiches into her face. Do you want some?

How do I make my bread really dark? (beehaw.org)
 

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA
