Morning all, grey and cloudy here. We’re travelling to Norfolk a day earlier than planned so will be off about mid morning. Son and his family are staying in a cabin over the weekend and have asked us along. Going to cost a fortune in chips, ice cream, slot machines and bingo and that’s just for me - grandkids can pay for themselves ?. Won’t be around much for a few days as Wi-Fi etc is really bad in that area apparently. Hope everything is good for you all over the coming days and don’t stress over Sunday what will be will be. Hope today goes well @Methuselah ?

I haven't seen them live unfortunately, really looking forward to the new album, if it is anywhere as good as We Are Not Your Kind I'll be a happy maggot.
Morning all, bit cold but fine today. Have a good weekend and bank holiday folks.
Morning all and a beautiful one it is here with clear blue skies.
Relegation eh? We could take a big step away from it with 3 points on Sunday. Celtic v Rangers as well so the bars will be busy with no work on Monday.
Speaking of which, while in Donegal last weekend I nipped into a bar to check the football scores. Quickly realised there was no TV. What I did find though was an 82 year old bar man who greeted me on entry and talked the leg off me. He had loads of Irish historical memorabilia around the walls which he of course gave me a guided tour of with commentary.
2 pints later as I was leaving he invited me to call back in that night as there was music on. He added that he was part of the band and that he played every night in life.
An absolute force of nature ?

Beautiful morning down here too AT. I can't believe that it's Friday again. I've never been a routine sort of person, especially after I retired and more so since I moved down here to Cornwall. But this G&T Friday has become a bit of a vigil for me and since I started I've noticed how quickly time is just passing me by. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
When I was out walking the other day I came across a guy selling fresh fish out of the back of his van which he parks on the edge of the village. I'd heard from others that he's been coming here years and has a steady clientele. So I bought some mussels from him. I had asked for muscles but he was completely out unfortunately. Anyway, although I love mussels, I've never actually cooked them myself, so I'm a bit nervous. I've seen chefs do it on TV lots of times and I have a good idea so we'll see how it goes.
If the weather stays as nice I'll go for another walk this afternoon so watch out for the pics. I'm thinking of taking a different route out of the village that I've never done before, which I'm hoping will offer a decent view of where I live. If it's nice enough I also may stop for a pint of cider in the local on the way back.
Hope you all have a good day folks. Hope the move goes well M and your tests turn out OK Blue. Hope the new level of pain control starts having a positive effect T. Happy G&T Friday folks.

That sounds like a wonderful day Fred. You are putting me in the mood to end my lunchtime walk a bit early for a light refreshment.Beautiful morning down here too AT.

Mussels are dead easy to cook, hardest bit by far is getting the broth right and that may take a couple of attempts until you figure it out. A Thai broth is more forgiving than a Mariniere I have found myself!

Cheers Jazz. Forgot to mention, bought some strawberries in the local store the other day. They were from the Tamar Valley apparently, your old stomping ground. They were absolutely delicious. Not cheap mind at £4 a punnet but I don't treat myself very often these days.

I could do either but am going to do the traditional one tonight I think as I bought some cream especially. I won't use the cream in anything else.
When I was in the Asian supermarket town the other day I found these dinky small tins of coconut milk which would be ideal for mussels.
When I was Belfast based for work I used to love getting into the Asian supermarket, none near me now though.
Chippy Fish Supper tonight for me I think.

Not too many down here either. One in Truro where I was earlier in the week and another in Penzance where they do the frozen dim sum that I like. Some stuff I still need to pick up whenever I'm up in Liverpool though. Whenever anybody visits I always get them to bring a bottle or 2 of my favourite Malaysian chillli sauce.

I don't know if anyone watched those scammer payback videos I posted but they're absolutely hilarious and also educational as they show you what to look out for. They change their voices so they sound like Grannies and while connected they infiltrate the scammers computer and delete files or put viruses on. Doing a good service for people these guys.
