Ah! The Worcester ones (the wedding present) are clearly a better class of ramekin. Those cheap common sorts, they breed like rabbits...  |

Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir
Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

I put house plants in those!! Actually, now you mention it, the gloxinia I bought for £2.99 from Tesco in Catford has been standing on something quite similar, in the hope of getting the drainage right (it started looking distinctly unwell just a few days after I bought it, and it still seems to be either too dry or too wet, I can't really get it right ...). |

I've got lots of teaspoons too and I'm not really sure how - I'm sure they multiply behind my back. My cutlery drawer is quite a contrast with my other half's - he only has 2 teaspoons. 2 teaspoons!! I think I might start to transfer some surreptitiously, you can't properly get by with only 2 teaspoons. You and your other half have separate cutlery drawers??! [/quote] I don't understand anything in good quality of cutlery or dishes. My other half doesn't care what spoon or mug he is drinking from. May be he likes them as long as they are the same he had yesterday. And you can not take any spoon of his you want. His spoons are his spoons and you can use your spoons (that would be his line with you, Ruby 2). It is not as he is a robot or something. How can you take something of his? He will not allow that. |

But it it true, A.
How can you take something from him, then give him or something.
What is he a mannequin?
I don't know many man who would agree with such a treatment.
I think this is what I wanted to say, but I don't know how to say it well.

We use physical objects (cups, furniture) as a storage device, or even better as tags, for memory. A mug will remind us of a specific time or place or person. When that mug is broken it can no longer evoke that specific memory and there is always the fear that it will be lost in the filing system of our mind. That was one of the things that I was going to say. I think. Look in the fridge hh Which one? |

Look in the fridge hh Which one? So it's Harmony Two-Fridges Harmony is it? There's a small fridge in the kitchen and a fridge-freezer in the walk-in-wardrobe. It's slightly bizarre but I've recently discovered that if I want the fridge-freezer to chill things to the required level, this causes the freezer to go beserk and frost over like the sun's just been eaten by a giant dog. So I've decided to use the smaller fridge for fridge things. I've noticed that a lot of flats I look at don't have freezers. This worries me. |
