A couple days ago I bought one of those single egg frying pans because I have been making egg mcmuffins at home all summer and it's hard to get the eggs a nice shape. I wanted the nice round egg that fits an english muffin.
I tried it out this morning but needed a lid to melt the cheese. I used a little sheet of aluminum foil, and it worked, but I don't want to be wasting a sheet of foil every time I make one of these. So I made a lid for the pan. And a small knob for the lid. I had some scrap aluminum from a broken insulated cookie sheet, and cut it on my band saw. |

Well - not really. But sort of.
It's not her fault there was a leak in her bathroom - it is her fault she didn't read her policy wording where it clearly states that cover only applies to the damaged items in a suite / damaged areas of a property - so the bath has to be ripped out because the leak is underneath it and it is damaged in the process: covered. The bath has to be replaced, so might as well strip the bathroom back to brass tacks and kit it out with a whole new bathroom suite and fully tiled throughout: not covered. Getting the work done and then trying to claim back the £3500 bill was not a wise decision. So, I had the joy of explaining to her that we could only cover £1100 worth of work, with a £250 excess to deduct - and as a goodwill gesture £450 towards the cost of the undamaged items. £1300 and she is left to pay the remaining £2200

That sucks, Dana. In fact dealing with insurance should be taught in schools.

It's a common trope here:

In other news, I made these this week for two young visitors due at Limey Towers in a few days ...

Those are so cool. And of course Limey is smart enough to make them look different, no arguments.

I did consider making them the same but with different coloured bowties. Do they need bowties?

I don't think so, the faces are everything.
