Can't remember what I was watching, but a week or two ago someone was saying that when you find carrots that have gone soft and floppy in the fridge, top and tail them and leave in water for a few hours/overnight and they return to normal. I remembered when I was replenishing the fridge last night.
It only works, like new this morning! I must have thrown out hundreds of carrots over the years, Kevin would be mortified lol!
I remember reading a very long time ago that the family's gamekeeper shot squirrels for her, not sure she wielded the rifle herself but she did, apparently, use chloroform to sedate rabbits that she later dissected. She went in for taxidermy too.
Janice, a lovely woman I worked with once, was a single mum with two "boisterous" sons. They had a vicious pet rabbit that wouldn't co-operate when it came to having its claws trimmed. Janice had a Texan brother-in-law who showed the boys the trick to hypnotising it, making it possible for a quick pedicure. Unfortunately, after he'd returned to the States, the boys decided to demonstrate this on all the rabbits in their neighbourhood. ðŸ¤
They lived in a small cul-de-sac on a new housing estate in Chelmsford with a circular green outside their house. Janice's mum, Nanny "Little" (as opposed to Nanny "Large" who they rarely saw) lived very near by and they stayed with her after school til mum was home from work. One summer evening, Janice was changing out of her work clothes and noticed a large gathering of small boys on the green. It seems her sons had sold tickets (in reality bits of paper torn from Nanny's copy of The Sun) to watch her getting undressed. 😮
Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.
