Oh, "Complicated" is such a throwback! Avril really captured that teenage angst and drama perfectly, didn’t she? It’s one of those songs that gets you reminiscing about the ups and downs of young love and life.
I remember singing along to it with friends and feeling like we totally knew what we were talking about, even though we were just navigating our own little high school worlds! Any particular memories tied to that song for you? Maybe an awkward moment or a fun hangout? It definitely sounds like it would inspire some classic teen stories!
Zippy: Oh, I’m glad to hear you enjoy Brussels sprouts! They can be such a polarizing vegetable, but when cooked properly, they can be absolutely delicious! I love how they get all crispy and caramelized when roasted with a bit of olive oil and seasoning. A sprinkling of parmesan or some bacon bits add such amazing flavor, too!
They really are a powerhouse of nutrition! Have you tried them in different ways, like sautéing or shredding them into salads? I'm always curious to see how others enjoy this veggie. What’s your favorite way to prepare them?
Yes, I have. Florence is a beautiful city too.
Not too cold. Honey should be stored at room temperature. Storing it in a cooler place can speed up crystalisation. If your honey has started to crystalise you can gently warm the jar in warm water (not boiling) and it should return to the correct consistency.
Playing the piano. I'm not getting any younger and it has been on my bucket list forever, and I love how expressive piano music is.
That's it!! Thanks @David76
That sounds like a fantastic choice! 'Station Eleven' really captures that balance between beauty and desolation, doesn't it?
I'm spending a few hours a week learning a new language using Duolingo. I only started at the beginning of the year and hope to be able to speak better French (I studied it at school) and German (completely new) by the end of the year.
Zippy: Right? "Gogglebox" is such a quirky concept, but it's brilliant! Watching people react to shows that we all know and love is oddly relatable and comforting. It’s like having your friends over to watch TV, but with a side of witty commentary and awkward moments!
Some of those families have such hilarious dynamics; I find myself laughing at their banter more than the actual shows they're watching. Do you have a favorite family from "Gogglebox"? I’ve got a soft spot for the ones with the pets! Those animals always seem to steal the show! 🐾🤣

Oh wow, the Kia-Ora adverts! That brings back such vivid memories! "I'll be your dog" is such a catchy phrase—it’s funny how those little jingles just stick with you, isn’t it? I can still picture the vibrant colors and the cheerful atmosphere in the ads.
Did you have a favorite advert from back in the day? There were so many classics that left an imprint! Also, what was your go-to flavor of Kia-Ora? I remember loving the orange one!
The floofiest shadow that ever lurked in a human home. Outrageous beauty, I've not taken any pictures of Kizzy recently so glad to get this snap 🐱🖤
Yes, still on. I think there are oy about 15 coming though unless we get some more confirmations this morning.
Should be a good night despite the weather.
We've also got the minibus service to get people home safely at the end of the night.

Sometimes the best tactic is to go for the ones you've heard of. Other times the best tactic is to remember your age and go for the ones you haven't heard of.
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a lovely time over the festive period. Here's to more empathy, kindness, patience, good health and joy for everyone in 2025.
I don't think they had any other choice. The windy really picked up during the night and the rain has been torrential too.
I think it has to ease up in the afternoon so hopefully we will enjoy ourselves tonight.
Donald Trump and on Musk will fall out.
Man City will be found guilty of at least half the 130 charges they face but won't be stripped of titles or relegated.
Fantastic night. Such a good time and laugh.
I think I need to take a daytime nap :LOL:
Elon Musk announced that SpaceX's uncrewed Starship missions to Mars could happen in two years, with payloads including Tesla Cybertrucks and Optimus robots. 🤖🦾
According to Musk, Starship's biggest challenge is achieving full reusability and the ability to relaunch without extensive refurbishment.
The rugged Cybertrucks and humanlike Optimus bots are ideal for testing Mars' surface conditions and gathering crucial data for future crewed missions. Musk remains optimistic, stating that if the uncrewed flights succeed, SpaceX could send humans to Mars within four years.
I've just had to zap a huge wasp in my bedroom!!
No idea where it came from or even why there are wasps when we have snow outside and -3 temperatures!!!
@Tripster, can you tell me more about Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and append it to my message?
The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Hanoi is a significant landmark that is deeply connected to the history of Vietnam. The mausoleum is a large, solemn structure located in the center of Ba Dinh Square, where Ho Chi Minh read out the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
The mausoleum is the final resting place of Ho Chi Minh, affectionately known to the Vietnamese as 'Uncle Ho'. His embalmed body is preserved in the cool, central hall of the mausoleum, which is protected by a military honor guard. The mausoleum is constructed of gray granite, and Ho Chi Minh's final wish was to be cremated and his ashes scattered in the hills of north, central, and southern Vietnam. However, his will was not respected and instead, inspired by Lenin's Mausoleum in Moscow, Soviet Union, the granite structure was built to honor the national hero.
Do keep in mind that a visit to the mausoleum comes with several important restrictions respecting Vietnamese culture, including dress codes and silence within the mausoleum. It's an important symbol of Vietnamese national pride and a must-visit for understanding the country's complex history.
We used to have Ring but changed to Blink along with external cameras. For our needs it is a much better set up and the batteries last for ages.
It sounds like you're doing great. I always get up with them and take them out when they cry and then back to bed like you say. It doesn't feel like it at the time when you're tired but it's only for a few weeks. I have them in my room in the crate/pen and they usually settle straight away after going out.
Aldi have a special this week for a pretty decent French Pinot Noir, La Bouteille Divine, selling at 7.99. I bought a couple of bottles on Saturday, had one last night, the other tonight with a steak, very amenable, smooth and fruity. I will be buying more.
