What?

"Elemenopy. It means that one part follows another. L M N O P."

Realising that the guy who had the house before me had the foresight to place the loo roll holder approx 6 inches above a radiator.

Warm toilet paper - there's nothing like it!

I’m so very grateful for these moments and I’m a very lucky man to experience such love. :newthumb:
That's very sweet, PF. :newthumb:

Coincidence, this morning Ispent 10 mins watching a pair of dippers not 12ft away from me on the brook running through town. When the morning rush was over(lasts about 2 mins!) I heard them calling to each other(not many are lucky enough to hear the call of the dipper).

Roasted brussels with tiny cubes of chorizo last evening.

Would like your soup recipe, if you can be bothered to post it (or a link)?
