So, who wants to help ... to instaurate the cellar?

Our freezers are chockablock with stuff I don’t want to eat, as an evening without cooking seems such a waste. Although, I did source tonight’s sauce from a freezer. Candles have been lit, all day, Dear.

Good nights, Cellarites. Best dreams.

It saves me from having to cook/think/mess about on difficult days, Soo. I only freeze things that I really like, & know that I will eat, but, as we know, like, & fancy, are 2 different things…

I saw an Photie on FaceAche earlier, of flatbreads made for the first time by an poster from elseboard.

I could have licked the screen! :joy:

If they are the same as I saw, Carinthia, I might have actually licked my screen. Bothersome, calorie-filled dreams ahoy!

Has the sner arrived with any of you yet?

Nope. The Bird has put down a strip of tarpaulin on the drive to make clearing a path to the steps easier when it does actually show up. Or snow up, as I first wrote.

This may be a way to ensure that our area remains snow-free, via the third law of Finagle.

Also of course O’Toole’s corollary: “The perversity of the Universe tends towards a maximum.”

The forecast this morning was for snow at 4pm and freezing by midnight. Just now it was for 6pm and not quite freezing overnight. We shall see; worst case I have a wet tarpaulin to dry.

It more usually comes down, in my experience.

No snow predicted here until “a small chance of an isolated snow shower” on Monday. Thank you, gulf stream. It feels bloody cold all the same.

I don’t know: people get snowed up, and presumably what it does to them is snow up.

Impeccable logic there.

I’ve been thinking, if you are surrounded by floods after heavy rain, are you rained up? (This is a perfect example of why I should stop thinking - it never leads anywhere useful and often gets me into trouble.)

Flooded in, probably.

Flooded out is used here

That’s if you have to leave because there is water everywhere; if you are merely surrounded by water on a little hillock, though? There is a farm near here which gets flooded in whenever the Thames rises above a certain level: you can see it from the M40.

Lots of things have ‘out’ added to them, here - ‘snided out’ means almost overrun with things…

Now I have to wonder why that is so familiar as a phrase, given that most of my family is from either further north or further south!
