You're brave, buying presents you utterly dislike.
Thankfully they are in airtight bags so I don't have to touch or (most importantly) smell them!

I bought boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape and permanent markers

You guys better hope I'm not trying to hide a body. (apparently a well labelled body, nicely wrapped but whatever)

What ARE you trying to hide? :eyebrow:

By yesterdays account, way too much junk that has accumulated after spending 13 years in one place with 2 kids. :laugh: Downsizing from 3,000 sq feet to 1,454 sq ft is proving to be a challenge as well.

Yeah, bought some new stuff (last month). New flat-screen TV, USB keyboard, hot plate, German/Dutch dictionairy, etc..

Today, at the butcher's, I've bought four pre-marinaded lamsracks (for dinner later on), four free range chicken thighs (I've put two of them in my special marinade 10 minutes ago/supper tomorrow) and a spicy chicken/curry salad (I'll eat on toast whenever).

Latter looks a bit like this..

(but better.. )

So how big are our homes? The 2012/13 English Housing Survey provides some useful evidence for England and indicates that the mean property floor area is 92.3 m² (993.5 ft²). For comparison, the 2011/12 survey indicates that an average floor area for flats is 56.9 m², for terraced houses is 82.6 m², for semi-detached houses is 93.2 m² and for detached houses is 151.7 m².

Seems we English are all in the tiny house club!

I thought I lived quite spacious. Terraced house measurements are about right for how I live at the moment. Sometimes am thinking about downsizing.

Hey Icequeen.. good to be back (I think).

Um, that pic wasn't shot by me. T'was an example.. for I thought/think that this type of toast/bread salad isn't well known in that many other parts of the world. It's nice though.. quite spicy.



Oh, and hi 'andersom'.. good to see you still posting here.

Previous home was very small; everyone still had their own space so it was fine. Could easily live in a space the size of my bedroom, or maybe the size of the garage if someone else were there.

I have to factor in adults, kids, large beastly dogs and a cat and I'm a person who needs everyone to have their own space because we're all happier that way. The house feels larger than what it is but I suspect being out on an acreage  helps with that.

Could easily live in a smaller house. Especially if the staircase would not be in the living/dining room. Now everyone has to go through that space. Most Dutch terraced  houses with more than one layer have the stairs in the hallway.

Yeh gots to factor in one pretty kitty too of course miss K ;)

Just bought-several big cartons of rhubarb&custard boiled sweet flavour milkshake, some cookie dough 'frijj' thick milkshakes that I like to have for breakfast, a wedge of edam cheese, two blocks of blue stilton, several local special brew golden, dark and amber ales, including a particularly delicious honeyed citrusy craft brewery beer. Mmmm....after driving myself in the lab and getting not a winks sleep, and pushing through feeling kinda crappy as my last dose of my meds wore off, before picking up my refill this morning, I thinks I have earned at least a bottle of that scrummy honeyed citrus ale, a cigar, the meds of course and a block of that cheese.

Bought some mozzarella too, some cigars, and think by now after that Lestat is entitled to sit back, rest his weary feet, after flicking on the blowtorch, frazzling the end of a cigar lit and taking a relaxing draw of cold, frosty, really fucking GOOD beer, to cleanse the palette in order to receive its cheese selection treats, heaving a sigh of relief as the cold ale washes down his neck, a Katatonia album blasting in the background.

Still need to go shopping and get some more chloroform, ether, maybe running a bit low on methanol, could use some conical, flat bottomed flasks, seen some micro-size buchner filters I'd really like some of and some new round bottomed flasks. That and get to welding up the ring stand for his filtration funnels.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.
