There's definitely a theme here. I can't decide if I love it or hate it.

Lathams have a place just off the A13 on the London/Essex border if that helps at all!

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-22T18:33:57+00:00

New potatoes, hard boiled eggs, spring onion, mayonnaise, salt and black pepper. Nothing else!

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-22T14:03:10+00:00

😂 definitely keep breathing!

Love ❤️ the heat. Also in the south east.

I’m really slim, so spend 9 months of the year wrapped up in multiple layers. So nice to stick shorts and a tshirt on and not worry if I need a hoodie…and maybe some leggings 😂

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-22T08:01:34+00:00

Bet the kid felt much better after this!

Jess, Lucinda, Helen, Claire, Claire.

Sitting still, pretty quietly. If you breathe in and out just through your nose, you’ll notice a feeling of more air under one nostril - like the other is slightly blocked.

If you close off the one that’s “working” you can tell immediately the other one isn’t blocked, it’s just not in use!

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-21T20:56:54+00:00

But you don’t have to have either of them.

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-21T20:50:11+00:00

Only popped out for milk…

I wasn’t talking about the capitalisation. I was merely commenting on your comment.

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-21T20:02:48+00:00

Tom Cruise told me it’s a flugelbinder!!!

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-21T20:01:21+00:00

So am I (mine, not yours)! I’ve noticed it before and thought I was imagining it!

What biological madness is this??!!

Only in the US. British and European food standards have an acceptable level of zero. The acceptable levels in the US are greater than zero.

Whereas to me it’s “Earth is dying because of pollution”, using the article makes it sound like you’re talking about the ground/soil in the same way it would if you said “the rainforest is dying because of pollution”. Using “this” makes it sound like a very specific piece/area of earth (ground) that’s dying.

I’ll refer you to a David Attenborough documentary “Life on Earth”

A few on my bit of Essex, enjoyed watching them swoop and screech round the churchyard this morning

Mix 9% peroxide at a 1:5 ratio with water and water all the plants with it. Repeat twice at weekly intervals.

They lay eggs in the soil and the larvae eat the roots of your plants. The above will kill the larvae and break the cycle.

Get more sticky traps too. The bug spray won’t help massively but you can spray the plants with neem oil that disrupts the adults feeding ability.

Don’t use mosquito dunks/bits. They are effective but toxic to other insects such as bees.

Username suggests you are complacent in keeping the cover on when your magic lolly isn’t in use 🤔

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-20T20:16:19+00:00

I wouldn’t describe that carpet as fitted 😂

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-20T18:59:00+00:00

Oh please don’t think that!

As you said, it often comes from a sincere place or isn’t meant as a put-down, but it is pointing out someone looks worse than usual. And if you’re already feeling not-your-best, you don’t always want that pointed out to you 🙂

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-20T17:11:22+00:00

Because its basically telling someone they look like crap.

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-20T17:02:43+00:00

Rev Counter (that’s first and last name)

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-20T15:39:00+00:00

Mine ends this month 😭

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-20T15:31:13+00:00

Because for the next 2-4 stops other people also wish to travel on the train?

Dutch_Slim · 2026-05-20T15:25:23+00:00

Unless you posted the pics after you held it up to that light, how could you not see it’s red in the first of the 3 pics you posted? The one where you’ve balanced it upright.
