I likes the taste of oily fish, but I hate fish bones.

If you said you'd had some finny haddock, I'd be welljel.
No bones in these. And I boil them to soften everything.

Do you put up a gazebo over where you're working?
No, why?

Wouldn't working be more comfortable in the shade?

I've been scoffing seafood platters most weekends this year. In one place they serve smoked mackerel fillets as part of it. I han't eaten them in years and had forgotten how much I liked them. I now buy them in Tesco! :thumbup:

I was up just before five of the clock, I went for an hours run, stretched, did some light gardening to get rid of a few weeds in the hanging baskets, fitted a shoe rack in the hallway, drank three cups of coffee, had a shower, popped over to see my FIL and now I'm back home and not sure what to do, the back roads are too flooded/wet to take any of the bikes or the Caterham out.

The auld grandfather clock just struck twelve, reminded me of my childhood, I might see if wrestling is on the telly :lol:

Wrestling on the telly is much more difficult now, they are so much thinner than the old CRTs.

Bought the last bits and bobs for the child’s move out to university.
Filled in loads of forms for our house purchase- I was going to post in the bank account thread but both of us have to upload ID including inside leg measurement and favourite Beatle (or so it seems).
All worth it in the end when we move and we will have a garden and room for a shed

Early doors sea swim in 4-5ft surf. Nice with offshore breeze but lacking oomph.

Walked dogs on Widemouth beach and then shopping in Bude.

Cooked Tomahawk steak......mmmm.

Now drinking Gin and listening to the rising wind, tomorrows swim may well be a survival lesson.

Lots of sitting and doing very little so far. Chilled at home this morning mainly playing with my new settee and bacon rolls. started work at 1400 and done very little but catch up on here all afternoon and evening.
Better than this time last week when I spent the first half of the shift at an RTC involving a a Tesla needing the roof off. All done slowly and carefully as Fire hadnt done a Tesla before. Then straight onto the A14 for a fatal RTC that took me into the early hours.
All in all I like this Saturday night more than last Saturday night.

Bude? High winds? Have an almost random pic. Check the size of the waves - then scroll left to where Bude cricket club are ignoring the offshore breeze as they go on to win their match.
