It could very well be the best food on the planet.

We now have bluebells rising up through the sea of anemones

Hard agree. Fresh or dried, both banging.

I thought that was universal.

Yours are a fortnight before ours, a few isolated ones here, yet will be coming soon to this thread.

Ramadan. It's basically an extended period of festivity and community focus combined with excellent food to be enjoyed when you're in a state most likely to enjoy it. What's not to love?

Our local mosque has a big free to enter football match just after Eid. They end up with something like 20 a side...men, women, Muslims, non Muslims all hacking at each others ankles with hijabs flying in Greenwic Park. Epic touchline food also.

Birdsong. A songbird giving it that atop the flats opposite.

Mango.
It is the best food on the planet.

FTFY.
I'm unable to buy any fruit at all at the moment and I think about mango A LOT.

Sorry to hear that @hats. Was on a call with some colleagues from Shanghai today and they were speaking quite openly about how things are there at the moment. Sounds really shit.

Cheers dude, yeah it's all pretty shit. Hope your colleagues are doing ok for food and essentials.

We have a park close by that does the same - unfortunately the snow is hanging on a little longer than usual this year.

Cracked a rib today crashing the fixie on a crushed brick path through the allotments.

You know how much a cracked rib hurts? Lots, and there is sod all you can do but suck it up.

I thought I was sotto voce coming in to the house, but then heard a nine year old son in the next room.

“Fucknugget - that’s a new one! I’m using that!”

I feel your pain, cracked mine falling flat on back due to ice a few years ago.
Still looking for the love in your post though...

Wait until you sneeze...

To be fair, whatever sound emerges immediately after that will be unintelligible.

And the anticipation when you know you are going to sneeze

Small boy saying ‘fucknugget’ with relish.
