Very late on parade, here.
DiL left us, contented with her stay. The Play That Went Wrong was great fun to watch. I’ll be having a lengthy lie-in, tomorrow, and am greatly looking forward to this.

Your pic, Twellsy, brought back memories of beautiful butterflies in Austrian grasslands who landed on my toes (daft buggas, some might say). There remains Pernod, Chatelaine.

I, too, likewise. Ours was a three shop excursion (Aldi was only required for oatcakes and gin) and I am now luxuriating in the relative coolth of the north-facing rear of the hive. A BBQ is going to happen, between matches (and involving matches, come to think ovvit) and I am Very Hungry.

Hi, Folks
<parrot>afternoon, everybody</parrot>
Just seen some potentially disturbing news on the BBC News website:
Gin festivals cancelled as firm collapses

We’ve also seen a news item about a listeria scare affecting frozen sweetcorn - followed the link to the Food Standards Agency website and e-mailed an annotated list to BG30’s younger sister, BG44, asking her to pop round and check the contents of BG30’s freezer.

Are those two statements connected?

Thank you for the notification, BG. I don’t mind about the gin one because I don’t drink gin much, but the sweetcorn one led me to the freezer. As I thought, Sainsbury’s own-brand sweetcorn has gone in the bin; I cba to make a pilgrimage there for a refund, using as much fuel in the car as the refund would be worth.
Though I do wonder: does being boiled not kill listeria?

I’d imagine that thorough and lengthy boiling might well do that - but the suppliers (or, being cynical, their insurers) might be concerned about the possible existence of an immuno-compromised customer with a preference for really crunchy veg.
