@SimonCHulse If you've got a dehydrator then scoop and dehydrate (maybe cut an extra time if they're giant) - they're absolutely amazing dried. @MichaelaKHulse

Looking for experiences of before/after with window insulating film - especially if you've used EcoLux 70 Solar Gard.
The data rates pretty well compared to double-glazing especially for the price. I get it would cut incoming radiative heat in summer, and keep more warmth in in winter, and these are good.
I'm more nervous about:
* it would also obviously cut incoming radiative heat in winter, and my big bay window is *glorious* to sit in on a sunny winter morning so that would be a bit sad
* I'd presume this would also mean less good sunlight for the houseplants?
* my windows consist of lots of panes in an aluminium frame and the person who came to quote didn't really talk about how great a role that frame would be playing in heat transfer especially outgoing so I don't know how much that would limit the effectiveness of the film.

@dangoodin They specifically said she's not *a* real country (as in, a nation-state) so I think they were attempting to make a joke, but I have no explanation for the hashtag or why they thought this was a good situation to make a joke in. @kboyd

@RealGene @Natasha_Jay They're not quite f's but they're the shortest long-s's I've ever seen - am used to them having descenders.
I managed okay back to 1200 but had completely forgotten about wynn so in 1100 I was reading them as thorn which Was Not Helpful.

@leadore "Excuse me!"
Or if they ignore that / don't realise you're talking to them, "You dropped your wallet!" at which everyone in earshot will reflexively check their wallet.
Some demographics might go for "Hey bro!" (which is gender-neutral in that context/demographic) or "Hey coz!" (ie 'cousin') but I'm too middle-aged white woman for that.
I *have* been called "miss" by younger folk but it sounds *super* weird to me and not just because I'm way too old to be a miss. I think that's a subcultural thing or possibly it's used for teachers in some schools? (It wasn't when I was a kid, we'd just say "Mrs Smith" or whatever.)
