Six feels a little bit young to brave the mile-long journey to school across dual carriageways and the badlands of Basingstoke on her own... but I am counting down the days, believe me.

Re: The Room 102 thread - for things you love or just having a bloody good praise!
Snowy on a winter's morning:
I like elements of every season, to be honest. I'm not sure I have a favourite.
I also forgot to mention how much I love sausages and bacon. And while we're at it, FULL ENGLISH BREAKFASTS. Best meal ever.

Re: The Room 102 thread - for things you love or just having a bloody good praise!
Too right. If I had the time to have a full English breakfast every morning, I would. Sausages, bacon, fried eggs, hash brown and beans are mandatory, ideally with some scrambled eggs, black pudding and a small amount of toast.
Not mushrooms, though. Mushrooms have no place on any plate of mine. And tomato for breakfast makes no sense to me.

I used to not like mushrooms and tomatos with my FEB, but have come to appreciate them in my old age.
Black pudding, though? No chance. Never tried it, but the appearance of it, and the idea idea of it, is just too much for me.

Black pudding is great if you don't think about what it is.
Re: The Room 102 thread - for things you love or just having a bloody good praise!
The only time I've had black pudding was as part of a posh Christmas dinner organised by the agency I used to work for and was invited along for. Was a bit tentative at first, but it was bloody lovely.Stormbringer wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 9:52 amI used to not like mushrooms and tomatos with my FEB, but have come to appreciate them in my old age.

However, having had such a nice example of it as an introduction I've felt no compunction to have a more common-or-garden variant, as I'm sure it will be nowhere near as nice, and the idea of what it is does put me off rather.
Still, if you're somewhere fancy and it's on the menu, give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Heading to Bury again next week and it seems to be black pudding with everything there. In rolls with picallili, with salad, everything apart from ice cream.
Unless I missed that.

And Doug, try some black pudding, it is delicious!

I could eat mushrooms with every meal. I used to hate them but one day the flavour just clicked with me and now I can't get enough.
I'm not divided on seasons either like most are. Spring I can take or leave, but summer, autumn and winter all have their boons that I really enjoy.

Sunrise.
Starting work early means catching the many colours of the sunrise every day during late spring, summer, and autumn. Broken clouds and vapour trails create a new picture to admire everyday. Yes.
Have some vaporwave to go with the image of the sunrise.

Never eat black pudding on its own, it's awful.
Put it *with* something though.....treat it like the ultimate condiment and you'll be just fine.
In no particular order

Coffee
Painting little dudes
The thought of playing a game with said dudes (note to self, entry for 101: friends who arn't painting their dudes quick enough so we can play).
The £5k bonus I've been informed that I am getting at the end of this month is pretty cool too.

Re: The Room 102 thread - for things you love or just having a bloody good praise!
Nice. Congrats on the bonus Tich.
Re: The Room 102 thread - for things you love or just having a bloody good praise!
Yes, it's my first work related bonus since I've worked here.
You always hear about people getting £50 here, £100 there, never seen or heard of a 4 figure bonus.
I also know I'm not the only one who got one either so this must have been a big win for management.
You know what else is worth cheering about? At 9 and a half months, my little girl might have found herself a sleep rhythm.
She's slept through for the last 4 or 5 nights. We're getting up at 6am, but at least it's not 3!

Well done. We used Gina Ford's sleep training programme for all ours. Had them sleeping (in their own room) from 7pm to 6am every day since they were babies. Now they do 8pm to 7am, which is very reasonable.

Central heating.
With the temperatures cooling as September rolls on, I've just turned the CH on again for the first time since the summer started and the house feels all warm and toasty. So nice!
