Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Kids.
Kid number 1 has just announced he has to blind bake some pastry and get ingredients for cookery lesson tomorrow. He apparently knew on Monday but thought he would leave it until the night before and I want to go to bed and we have no useful ingredients in the house because I'm shopping tomorrow. Now he's has the hump because I'm struggling to keep my eyes open. Besides. Cookery? I might be likened to Mr Gradgrind, but COOKERY? |

All you need is butter or Stork, flour, maybe an egg, rice or died beans to blind bake and a bit of silicone paper.

Before the rain:
 After:  And now we have definitely more rain coming and the possibility of a hurricane coming this way on Saturday. Hopefully not. It will be devastating if a hurricane hits this already flooding area.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The area flooded got 10 inches of rain in one day. Today pics on the news showed lots of areas under water.
Not in flood danger at home but with over 7 inches of rain since Friday and more on the way, I am concerned some of our trees may fall if winds from the hurricane come this way. Most of the good roads on my favorite mountain ride have been affected. Some are closed. One mountain road is now partially one lane after a mudslide. Hopefully will get out on the bike and survey some of the damage next weekend.

Cheers guys, but as a long term sufferer, the Olbas Oil trick doesn't work, I'll try the crystals, but I may have to resort to squirting warm salty water up them with a syringe
