Is there a timeline we can consult yet?
On the basil note - moved it inside, found a cheeky snail that i chucked next door, will update you all in a week.

Depending on how long coronavirus sticks around for, this may be us at said house party... I’ll see you witches there! X
There is no timeline as I think it gives everyone a headache to even think about - and none of it makes any sense anyway!
Good luck trying to make sense of it all.
Am on furlough so got some free time, currently working on timeline...might be here a while!

I've just found a mumsnet ama by her!
Anything interesting in it?
Edit: @OhhBacon there might be more for your timeline in there. You’re going to need more wall space!
What is black vinegar, exactly? I’m not sure what it is, but it sounds like something I would like ...
WTF, so you mean I am going to have to expand into my crappy shed?
Best go find some carrot oats to stick down the Astro turf!
Yes, absolutely x
Ask me anything
(Translated as: I want some attention)
Ah yes
That’s hilarious. Now apparently rich enough and bothered enough to have changed tactic.
It's black rice vinegar, also known as chinkiang vinegar....

If you've ever had the vinegary dip some dim-sum/Chinese places serve with dumplings, it's that (sometimes mixed with soy).
It is glorious.
Jack's been filming 'rehearsals' in her shed don't you know! She's going to be answering #lockdownlarder questions accross all social media platforms..... are we ready for this! I'm still getting my head round what I saw on DK...... plus.... it just won't be the same without Matt 
Going back to Jack’s veganism, and specifically her ‘Veganish’ book - I bought it, because I genuinely want to continue to limit (albeit not stop) my animal intake and thought it might give me ideas.
I’m a competent and confident cook, and so far I’ve not been able to make one single recipe from that book work. Not a single one. I gave the recipes the benefit of the doubt for a while - previous recipes of Jack’s have worked fine for me - but ‘Veganish’ doesn’t hit the mark at all. It’s almost as if the recipes haven’t been fully tested, or there’s a significant chunk missing. It didn’t seem particularly rushed to me at the time, but they just don’t work for me (for me; your honour).
Also, on reflection I’m not quite sure who the book is aimed at. The recipes are quite fiddly and long-winded, and I can’t see it converting anyone to veganism any time soon. I’ve made accidentally vegan meals that work a whole lot better

Can I just... I can’t remember if it’s been mentioned on these threads, but I keep randomly remembering Jack’s tweet about David Cameron’s dead son.
Now, I’m no fan at all of the Camerons. But to bring his dead son into a political Tweet. Also. The bleeping irony!! She accused DC of using ‘misty eyed rhetoric’ about his son to further his agenda. Erm. Pot, meet kettle! Her blog. Small boy, looking up with his big blue eyes asking mummy why he’s got a bleeping dry weetabix for breakfast... oh yeah and chuck a few quid in my tip jar, huns. How low can you go, to say something so vile to another human being, that they are using their dead child like that. I’m not ruling out any depths of crappy behaviour from DC and the Tories, but to say THAT.

yep it’s bloody awful! It was discussed again in the thread yesterday but here’s a link to the article so you can enjoy the full impact of those quotes.
