It works well for cooling wine bottles when a handy rock pool isn’t around
Yes my yoof was wasted messing around in/on/under the water

As a direct result of this conversation I have just bought a butter-dish whose base is a thick slab of marble; this may keep butter from becoming a puddle in the summer.

Is it big enough for a whole pound of butter without shaving the block somewhat?

Butter in this country doesn’t come by the pound so it doesn’t need to be.

It does here so I am always on the look out for a proper dish with lid

I’d be inclined to cut a pound block in half and keep half in the fridge anyway; a pound of butter is a lot to keep out.

That’s a nice looking dish, Fishy.

I like to keep butter ready to cook with handy as I can be doing lots of things needing butter in any given day and waiting for it to become useable is a pain

My friend W and I decided last night that we are beyond fat shaming
We will enjoy life whatever size we are!
She is a good 8" shorter than I and a size or two up
We feel our presence adds gravity to proceedings
P is W’s husband and he and the Bull are built like matchsticks!

I have an Le Creuset look - alike casserole for which I need 2 hands even when itizz empty. I know that the butter dish isn’t cast iron, but it would be begging me to drop the Bluddy lid, or summat…

I have just weighed our Le Creuset butter dish and it came to 851g - the base weighs 360g and the lid 491g. I very much like it - smart and practical.

I have designs on the Fishly butter dish
I foresee hours googling
Home now and my lovely Bull saw a pretty rhodium plated silver necklace with an Austrian silver crystal dragonfly pendant and he bought it as a wee surprise present for me
Cue P telling my Bull that he is spoiling life for the other husbands as their wives will start wanting to be spoiled by them
My Bull just smiles and carries on looking for things that I might like

Rain and rain and more rain.
Little umbrellas over the drinks to stop 'em getting Diluted.
(In some cases Grate Big Umbrellas.)
