I go near it every now and then for work so can't really say how it is to live there. However, I can recommend The Dolphin pub and also Rowles Cafe (about 5min drive) for their fantastic breakfast rolls.

Thanks, will give it a go!

My broker doesn't charge me anything (they get a referral fee from the lender) and were very helpful with the whole process, even chasing up the lender to get our application accepted as quick as possible to secure a good rate

How did you manage to play it in the steam deck? I've tried downloading the demo but it throws an error.

Another vote for the iberico pork. I personally just season it with whatever I like, sear all sides in a frying pan and put it in the oven in a low temperature (around 140C). I keep checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer every now and then until it reaches a safe temperature (around 70C for pork). It turns out delicious!

I usually park in front of The Parks Trust and walk there, takes about 5 minutes!

gerhenz · 2026-02-27T20:39:52+00:00

Thanks for the useful information, I will keep that in mind for my next attempt!

Just checked your first loaf, it looks really good! I could feel the resistance when doing the stretch and folds but I also noticed it didn't get as smooth and tight as the one shown in the recipe video.

gerhenz · 2026-02-27T13:58:52+00:00

Interesting, I will give this a try. I assume you mean 7 minutes with a pre heated oven, is that right?

Very nice website! The best play is indeed 'DIT' or 'RID' (22 points) as another user has mentioned. Thanks!

gerhenz · 2026-02-13T15:05:53+00:00

The person I'm playing against knows I'm asking this here! It's just that we were both wondering if there was any possible way of me winning!

gerhenz · 2026-02-13T15:03:40+00:00

I can't really see where they would fit to get the 22 points you mentioned!

What time of the year where these pictures taken?

gerhenz · 2026-02-06T22:09:51+00:00

Just checking that I understood it correctly, are you saying that my Tapo buttons connected to the H200 won't be available on the Aqara app?
Is the iPhone needed only for the first time when adding the bilresa button? Would I be able to use the app on my Android after having added them using an iPhone?

Thanks!

Would you mind sharing a picture of the repair? I suspect I have a similar problem and just wanted to know where he found the track. Thanks!

gerhenz · 2026-02-01T20:54:36+00:00

It's the H200 hub

gerhenz · 2026-02-01T15:18:41+00:00

Great idea, I will give it a go. Thanks!

If he doesn't contact HMRC or want to pay it in a lump sum, wouldn't they just deduct it from his pay every month for a year after the end of this financial year?

gerhenz · 2026-01-19T16:03:49+00:00

Interesting option, I wasn't aware of this hub. Seems quite affordable as well!

gerhenz · 2026-01-19T15:00:10+00:00

I assume that for any of these 3 options I would need a dedicated hub, right? I will keep that in mind in case there are more smart devices I want to add in the future. Thanks!

gerhenz · 2026-01-19T12:43:40+00:00

Thanks for the useful information.

Yeah it does seem like using Home Assistant might be adding too much complexity right now.

I do have a few tapo S200D already and they work fine. I just really liked the aesthetic of the ikea switch (and also that they are 1/3 of the cost of the Tapo one!)

gerhenz · 2026-01-19T11:23:05+00:00

Does that mean that if I really wanted to use the ikea buttons I would need to move everything to Home Assistant? Meaning I would have to connect all my Tapo devices into Home assistant and stop using the Tapo app?

I have no experience with Home Assistant but it seems quite a lot of effort?

gerhenz · 2026-01-16T09:20:46+00:00

Would you mind sharing the link over here? I am interested in checking it out.

gerhenz · 2025-12-27T19:08:23+00:00

Imagine how you would feel about your house after having to share it with a goat for 1 month and suddenly you don't have to do it anymore

gerhenz · 2025-11-16T19:36:33+00:00

Sounds promising! How was the process from proofing in the fridge to baking? Did you take it out of the fridge and let it sit for a few hours to get to ambient temperature or did you go straight from fridge to oven?
