No, thanks, it was my neighbor, and he’s back home now after three days in care.

oh all right, good to hear he is back. Thanks.

Just a few hours ago I experimented with baking spelt + corn flour buns. they are rather soft, much softer than I expected, after getting used to a slight bitter aftertaste, they are all right. Will make for good sandwiches. I will have to work on their shape, though. And space them more on the baking tray.

Well you certainly don't sound how I thought you would speak.

I loved that voice!

We've got a weather warning as well.

From one extreme to another. We'll also be hiding indoors unless we go to the coast on the 27th. We're away somewhere warmer on the 28-30th!

It has more "twang" in it than I expected.

As someone somewhere once said, “It don’t mean a ‘thang’ if it ain’t got that twang!”

That’s just a normal “Ohio-by-way-of-Kentucky” voice (or maybe the other way round).

I loved that voice!

Thank you!

It used to be much worse, but the military trained it out of me.

I think it's because his appearance is more New York Loft, and his voice is more banjos on the front porch....

Agreed, a very pleasent accent though.

So you were a real life Gomer Pyle?

“Gomer” was my nickname in basic, which was even worse than it sounds because there were two guys from West Virginia in my squadron.

I had to sit in on a few ESL classes when I was going through training.

I was guessing at English Speaking Lessons

Yesterday I read that if you peel a banana from the bottom, there will be none of those stringy bits adhering to the flesh. I tried that twice today and it worked.

So did they stay with the banana or the skin?

Stayed with the skin, I guess. There was no evidence to suggest otherwise.
