Unless they're exempt from the act Siouxie linked to, that sounds kind of illegal.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
they have scheduled 3 different things through the same day so its 3 separate things, but from what I can tell we are not required to be home, so not rearranging our plans which have been made 3 months ago.
The strata is not our landlord so really not even sure we have to give them entry.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Cock up on the catering front today.
Got some chicken portions out of the freezer yesterday. Nicely thawed by today I put them on the oven pan and thought, hmmm, they're a bit bigger than usual.
Part way through roasting they just didn't look right. When done, I realised why. They were obviously the four leg/thigh portions we saved from two stewing hens my stepdaughter bought in Sept 2016. I tracked it down to a previous thread, the idea being to use them for a coq au vin, but I'd obviously forgotten.
Completely inedible as roast chicken so we just had the roast spuds, veg and gravy.
Good job I wasn't cooking to impress.

That 'cherry blossom' looks remarkably like a Magnolia

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Do you think that tree is kept artificially warm due to an exhaust or a vent from a nearby building ? or heat coming off the nearby building somehow. I've seen trees in Ottawa near buildings like that retain their leaves a lot longer than other trees in the autumn.

Soup was started within 5 minutes of finishing eating.
