Looks like PE requirements have gone up a bit, seeming that being an olympian is not sufficient.

Most definitely! But maybe not in the way people would want.

Sunak comes across like the prat he is. “Labor will raise taxes by £2,000 for everybody” regardless of the question. Talking over all the time, not listening to the moderator. Appalling creature. Starmer sympathises a lot with people asking questions without answering them. Skating around or just plainly ignoring questions all the time. I can’t watch this shit a minute longer.

The weather has been kind this weekend, so I cleaned the BBQ and made ribs & wings.

…how bloody old are you?

After numerous long evenings and weekends our sauna is back in use. Completely renovated shower room, new floor in the dressing room, floor heating in both, new stove, new lights, benches sanded down and appropriately treated, sauna room walls washed and treated, log building painted from the outside. The works. Today it was in use for the first time and the electricity was free 2-4 pm as part of the Octopus Energy trial, so it didn’t even cost a penny to heat! This is our boys conducting a quality inspection.

We are considering doing two weeks on Leeds - Liverpool on a rental boat in near future. I should think we are looking at one week one way and the other back. Where would you recommend we start?

UK has it great when it comes to live music. Small venues, arenas, stadiums. Big artists, small artists, almost anybody worth seeing will have a gig here at some point. I grew up in a country where my favourite artists hardly ever visited back in the day. I’ve lived over twenty years in the UK, but I’m still in awe of the shere number of gigs to choose from. It is brilliant!

The filet marinated overnight in a mix of HP sauce, soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce. The file was in sous vide in 50 C for just over three hours and finalised on the coal BBQ. The end result was great if just a bit over cooked for what I was aiming for.

tasty end result

The wait was too long so it became Thursday BBQ instead. In my defence the weather was really nice this evening where we are. Chicken thighs and halloumi pepper skewers with a Mediterranean potato salad and a salad of various greens from the fridge.

Two types of kebab, tzatziki, humous, piyaz salad, ezme salad and turkish bread. All home made from fresh incredients.
