Bamboo would give you (near) instant height in those pots. If there is a lip on the pots you may struggle to get the bamboo out easily in the future, possibly something to consider.

I’ve bought from https://www.scottishbamboo.com/ before and they’ve been good.

Blueberry bush would probably be wasted in a pot that high, but is a great addition to the garden, keep in acidic soil and water with rainwater. Oh and get before the birds!

IGNORE ME! Just realised these are water butts, teach me to read :-)

Anyone had any success selling wine? Have about 150 bottles to get rid of, ideally in one go, probably unrealistic I know, unless taking a bath on it all.

They’ve been fine. More comfortable around the neck once the leather has softened. Bit of extra hassle when washing, but that’s not too often.

I have the canvas version, they often do promos, worth signing up to their newsletter. The full leather stuff looks nice but big bucks!

Maybe a bit late with the Apron chat, but my https://risdonandrisdon.co.uk/ apron has been great, had it a number of years now.

Also working through leftovers…..

Apple TV is miles quicker than my (older) 4k fire stick. Also my switch pro controllers pair fine with Apple Arcade?

I kind of wish I could buy a decent non-smart TV and just choose my smart add-on device. In this case an ATV. Or at least turn off the smart manufacturer bullshit.

I am invested in the Apple eco system*

Potatoes. Red cabbage. Sprouts. Cauliflower Cheese. Parsnips. All prepped. Rib salted in fridge, turkey ready. Pigs in blankets to assemble. Cheat deserts, save for bread&butter pud. Wine sorted. Have a fantastic day all.

Looking forward to being able to find things in my fridge again…

Liverpool vs Arsenal game is a cracker so far.

Rice rice baby. Unlucky Luton :-/

Raya had a shocker too.

Have a Hario switch V60 immersion dripper hiding, think it’s size 02. If that works I’ll try and locate.

Smiths going to have nightmares if they lose now.

Big price drops on Audioquest Dragonfly DACS. Worth getting the dragonfly colbalt over a Schiit Modi DAC? Portability not really required. Mac —> Amp

Bit special from Glenn Maxwell…

Wonder if any football will break out in the second half?

I do most of my wine buying now at the Wine Society, there are a nice mix of wines available and always something new added daily. They have a good online community which is very helpful. Pricing is pretty fair and you get chance to bag sought after wines, although normally restricted to singles unless favoured by their algorithm. I have quite a mix of stuff, some at home/M&Ds and in bond, but mainly. France (Bordeaux, Rhone & Burgundy) Spain (Rioja, Ribera del Duero), Italy (Barolo), NZ, Aus & USA wines (Ridge Zins)

Bordeaux is a good place to start though!

Probably should >>> Wine thread

Nice. I just have a small liebherr wine storage fridge. My M&D have a couple of eurocaves that must be 30+ years old. I always have a nose on eBay, but they all seem to be miles from me unfortunately.

Kids bike rack going up..

Brompton explorer electric is 17.4kg in 6Spd
Brompton urban electric is 20kg in 4spd

Is this right? Why is the 4spd so much heavier?

Ok, thanks both, much appreciated.

Made Winston Bogarde look like a good signing…

Can anyone confirm if the Logi MX keys mini should work wired. Was told it would, doesn’t seem want to with my Mac Mini, which I now cannot setup…. Joy. Conflicting info on interwebs.

Nightmare. I recently saw one stranded, blocking the A36. Quite the lump to move. Wonder what/why. Good luck, hope your parents get home quickly and safely.

You’re right the App is rubbish. I’ve not tried any third party apps, but there are a few. I generally look at https://mysmartenergy.uk/Tracker/Southern-England

which provides more data.

Good luck emailing them, my own experience of their customer service is that is non-existent. My smart meter(s) have not worked since installation earlier this year and they have provided no solution, other than a different team asking the same questions over again.

Wine cave pictures and details…

Need to see the Eurocave(s) bound in red leather!

I just looked today and saw it had gone up significantly. Guess it will not be quite so easy to get back on the tracker if you move? Seeing as my smart meters don’t work they average my unit costs. May stay a little longer, overall it’s worked out well.
