No such issues for me -- I'm still hoping today will be our last day temps over 100 degrees! (Hopefully we can stop breaking heat records!)

 

 

 

The question here is: Will we ever be able to turn off the air conditioning?

 

WOW!  The struggle is real!  I hope your temperatures moderate! 🥰

Well I, for one, like to uphold standards and use a fish knife! And did you know that the little notches in fish forks are for assisting in removing bones? 

Lovely table. I have silver cutlery including fish knife. But I plan to sell them soon as I want to downsize to a smaller apartment.

Davey, 

Would that be a table in your esteemed country inn?  I have on bucket list to spend a month circumnavigating England-Wales-Scotland with my DW.  Would love to stop by! 

That was my lockdown Christmas lunch table wwft. It was an 11 course meal served over about 12 hours.

My inherited fish service remains in the sideboard, it has seen little use as of late. I forget it is even there. I don't entertain as I once did…

And then, there are those ice cream forks…

 

Davy your place settings are elegant and special.

Thank you Spinns, hope you are both well.

reading along and relaxing into a Friday night, thank you all for your posts

sorry to hear about the heat further down south, Virginia is having its first fall weather, and it feels wonderful!  someone turned on the great AC in the sky

had to look up Lola's neffness; a British slang term I fear would apply to my wardrobe

Haha, I don’t for one second that there’s anything naff about Lola QSS. We don’t have much AC here in wales but I do think that someone has left the lid open on the chest freezer.

When home we do have an air conditioner. Only use it sparingly in summer as we also have fans. Using it in heating mode is once in a blue moon.

I used to have a bit of a giggle when I worked in Tasmania as the house or apartment I was given to live in had a very similiar appliance. In winter I was told to just leave the heat pump on. It was some time before I became aware that the heat pump was what they called their air conditioners.

I fear that I am fairly naff, Davey, but neff?  Well, I would have to look that one up, not heard of it.

Top quality appliances Lola. Take it as a compliment. 🙂

I know, QSS.  Just trying to be slightly amusing; not as good at it as many of you.  And of course had completely forgotten that Neff is a brand of especially good kitchen equipment.

Is CC trying to keep us in the dark down under. haven't been able to access it all day on my phone or computer.

[lincslady]

It went off here a while ago too.  Don't know how long for.

It was out here when I got up at 7:00 am.  Hopefully the issue has been resolved. 

[lincslady]

It is not the first time -was off apparently worldwide a couple of days ago for quite a long time - I think Lois got some sort of explanation from them.  It's those C.....e or R......s spying again!

Hi Lola, yes, I emailed the help desk and the reply I received back basically said they were aware of a problem. They did not expand on what that problem was, but were working on getting it fixed.

I’ve been on the site a few times during the day without any problems. Sometimes technology has a mind of its own!

[Port Power]

But the CC site just now had a hissy fit when I tried to edit. “Cannot find that site”.  Third time lucky after a second such message.  I must have been lucky this morning earlier this afternoon. 😅

I'm not surprised!  I think she tends to frequent places where imbibing is not encouraged.   I most admit that I have never made her acquaintance.   😁

Problems here too, after midnight last night (GMT) then this morning until past lunchtime. Our internet has seemed a little strange though recently, since about the same time that Google searches have been generating AI responses at the top. I'm having multiple sites that I use regularly loading partially, incorrectly or not at all this last week or 2. 

[lincslady]

I have dropped  a hint as to the cause, Davey.  (I really hope that I am just joking).
