No pain without gain, but does finding that which was lost count as gain, or merely not-loss?

Dunno, but when that which was lost is found only after a replacement has been acquired at vast expense, it’s a right PITA.

Driving to the new house this morning, I commented to TFD that it properly felt like summer - then we arrived to see multiple swallows flying over the roof, so it is. Gorgeous day here.

We have had swallows nesting in the barn here for a month

Congratulations on the concerted laundering!
We have just had delivered a Salter 3-in-1 snack maker, like this one
(at a rather smaller price because Special Offer)
and now have to learn how to make what a friend who recently bought a similar device called waffle-juice.

My father used to take his bucket of tea and his pipe into the sitting room after supper to watch the news on the television
He would invariably fall asleep and wake when either the stove where he propped his feet up on burned his feet or his pipe set his beard and tache alight

Gus how do you get your bread to be so well shaped?
I am jealous of your ability to make such beautifully shaped bread

a) by using yon Fish’s magic bread tin, which is the best I have ever used (and thus is no longer available, natch); and
b) by not photographing the ugly ones
