Chatback 7

Afternoon woke up today feeling like I've had a round with Mike Tyson. My shoulder, my back, my hip, my knee and feet are hurting me. Don't know what I have done. Was fine when I went to sleep this morning. Weather looks dull here, so think I am just going to have a relaxing day and catch up on last nights x-factor.

Afternoon I've spent most of the day in the garden, turning compost, picking beans some for drying some to freeze, then made my dough for baking later on.

The sun is out, and when I've got myself organised, I will be off to re-run last weeks race route, which I have now measured accurately. Two laps of the course are, in fact, 10k - the extra distance we ran was accounted for by the distance from the start line to the start of the lap, and that long finishing straight from the end of the lap to crossing the line.

All I have to do now is to remember to turn my watch on at the start, and off at the finish.

I will miss the enthusiasm of the cheering crowds and the competition of my fellow runners, but on the plus side, I will also avoid that waft of hot oil from the donut stand which nearly made me throw up 20m from the end.

Just emerged from No1 son's bedroom where I am having the major clear out I asked him to do over the summer. Trouble I don't know what is needed and what's rubbish. He'll have to accept my judgement!

Good afternoon. Does the urge to cook ever overtake you? I've now got chicken tikka marinading for a tikka masala tomorrow. All made from scratch. The downside to this is I used the chicken that was supposed to be for tonight's dinner.

I sometimes kind if do the opposite, plan and buy something for dinner, forget, and then cook something else!

Prevening All Been outside all day. The weather's a bit mixed, but no rain so pleasantly tired. Bacon sandwiches this morning on the bread I made yesterday - can't wait to make another batch tomorrow which is another day off work. Welcome back RL, where you been? Hope you've not been ill?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevenin' Peeps! What a lovely day - productive, too!

Did the Nags, then came home to help with the clearing of the overgrown corner where the Peach tree stands. Looks kind-a bare now lol

G & T?

Thank you, Bren & all. Nutters to a man!

I've got the lamb goulash for tea that I made yesterday evening - I had a nibble when I took it out the slow oven last night and it tastes delish.

Oh! Lightbulb moment! it would go really well with a jacket spud!

I'm going to put the oven on and while it's cooking I can have a bath. Marvellous.

Yes, think so, like Rocket,cos they are so early, charlottes in bags, and Romano I have done in the past, so that should keep us going,ok

It does me, today I've baked bread rolls, apple and blackberry slice, apple blackberry and raspberry crumble plus a tray of roasted toms. Tonights tea is a frittata so that won't take long.

Evening all

Quick question

Another 2 Demi johns on the go, but only had one yeast, made a yeast starter and split between. My reasoning, it would just take longer to get going.... Is my reasoning correct?

Yep - quite right, and right reasoning too.

What have you got on the go?

Yayyyy! Put an appeal out on Streetlife locally for an allotment helper. Got an answer from someone whose son would possibly help. Met up with him today and took him to the plot and he reckons he can help me out on a regular basis if he enjoys it! He is a youngster at college doing a course in personal training and he likes the outdoors and physical work. Fingers crossed this one works out.
