Tesco Sugar Free Dandelion and Burdock

No dandelions or burdocks were harmed in making this concoction: or not that I could detect.

Not recommended, unless you have a copper-bottomed pan to clean. (Or is that HP Sauce?)

Bye, bye lj

I'm sitting here watching the entries flicker through their enscramblement on lj.

I was going to flounce off on the 15th anniversary of my first post there, but I've been tinkering with pictures and links, and... Either I go or I don't. So, no x-posts, no nothing into the site; I'll turn off commenting if I can (it was a spam comment today that got me to make the decision); there's a pointer over to here; and there let it stand.

The weird thing about electronic vandalism is you don't get your fingers dirty (and in fact can wander off and have dinner).
