I wrote recently about a saying I hadn’t heard before. Our German friend used it. Translated from her native language, it was ‘making an elephant out of a mouse’. Tonight, she used another one she’d translated and that we hadn’t...

Max Crisp I’ve never heard that phrase, and it doesn’t really make sense to me. “Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after themselves” is a common saying here. I rarely spend money on frivolous things, so I think I fit into the “frugal” category. Some...

Yesterday, the temperature was 30C but feels like 36C. Today, it is 30C but cloudy. Well, in fact, it just rained for around 30 minutes. Since December, I can do work and other stuff without the need for fans...

Max Crisp Monday was 4C here and then 15C yesterday. It’s been freezing for weeks here in the UK, so it was a welcome rise in temperature. 30C is way too hot for comfort and, like you, I’d have to have a fan running constantly.

I am so disgusted. I wanted to eat a snack today and decided to cut up some strawberries. I had just grabbed one strawberry from the clear plastic box it came in and sliced one open horizontally when there it was, a dead black...

Max Crisp @MarieCoyle I love the mandarin oranges too. They are about 80p/$1 per tin/can, but it’s a smaller can than the rest of the fruits like peaches and apricots. Any type of orange is variable in quality, but the tinned is consistent. The only fresh fruit I buy is...

Max Crisp @lilacskies Well, I’m am not patronising you here, but your written English on here is excellent. Being called stupid certainly doesn’t help. I think teachers who do that are cruel and shouldn’t be teaching. You probably just needed a bit extra help, or...

Max Crisp Nice buns! I have heated seats in my car, and they have been switched on a lot this winter. Next car I get will probably be electric, and with them, you can pre-warm the car before you get in remotely. Sounds like bliss.

Max Crisp @lilacskies I know. You mentioned “sneakers”, so I just burst into song. I like to have at least two of everything, in case something happens to one. And if I’m clothes shopping, I get a few t-shirts, or jeans, etc, that I like, in case next time...

Max Crisp Are you blonde then, @lilacskies? You’re certainly not dumb. I find you very articulate and smart. I think Marilyn Monroe had a lot to do with stereotyping blondes, and she wasn’t even a true blonde!

Max Crisp There are a lot of redheads in the UK(usually called ginger) Must be why we have so many witches? Julianne Moore must be one of my favourite redheads. Great actress! I was aware of having to avoid the sun, but not the heightened cancer risks. I guess there’s...

Max Crisp Jeepers Creepers, where’d you get those Sneakers? $30 sounds like a bargain to me. I thought everything was very expensive in the US? I think I’d have bought two pair. That would save having to go back shopping for more any time soon.

Max Crisp @MarieCoyle To be honest, I mainly eat tinned fruit these days. It’s quite cheap and more consistent. There is also none of this cleaning malarkey needed - just open and eat.
