To increase humidity in your refrigerator, fill a plastic milk jug or 2-liter soda bottle with water and store it in the refrigerator with the cap off.
Good grief, that will ice up the cooling coils. If you have a self defrosting refrigerator as most people do, it'll cost you ( pulls number out of ass) 50% more to run.

If I want to buy eggs, I can either go to the village store and buy them there (choice of locally farmed, or cheap and cruel)... or, I just walk up Upper Lane and buy them from the little farm there. If you just want to buy a few for the day, there's a basket of eggs and a pot for coins. It's done on the honour system (couldn't do that in an urban setting I suspect). If you want to buy half a dozen or more, then you just knock on the kitchen door.

Dana, you should "blow" a couple eggs, and leave them in the basket.

Blowing eggs, is putting a small hole in each end and blowing the egg out of the shell. This leaves an empty shell for decorating at Easter.

Griff we really live on top of eachother here. And Mum is hyper-sensitive to noise-making. She even considers windchimes anti-social.

When I win the lottery she can have them.
She's getting a bungalow in a respectable part of town (all one level will be increasingly necessary with Dad's knees). And a gardener, so they have a bit of space witout the worry.

That is a pretty low threshold.

Depends on the wind, and the chimes. Our chimes are over 2 feet long, and the wind can get up to 50mph gusting to 90 in a bad winter. That's why we keep the windchimes indoors !

Maybe you should consider weather sealing.

Let's put it this way - I got black looks all day when I had a cold.
Reason? I kept Mum up all night.
That would be the coughing and excessive nose blowing then.
She had to go downstairs and wrap herself in a duvet, and she could STILL hear me.

On the flip side, imagine her pain at living with two people with poor hearing, and having a Dad who is partially deaf. No wonder she lives life of the verge of a scream...

You've outdone yourself there Sundae.
