Gales here, so I took advantage of the wind to burn some tulipe in the incinerator.
It went very well for a while but it's gone out now.
In other other news, the thing that tulips outside the living room window has shat once more despite the vast quantity (an entire fecking bottle) of cat repellent.
So much for that.
<hiatus due to knock on door>
Well that's the Fiat Seicento sold for £50 to the chap up the road who has 17 year old twin boys.
I did point out it's fecked & not in a good way, but we eventually got the fecker going and they seem pleased enough.
A new battery & exhaust are the first things on the list, with fixing the handbrake lever the next priority.
All I have to do now is find the documentation which is very likely to be easier said than done.
The question being which particular pile of crap does it live in.
Used a duster to clean 15 years of accumulated crap of the little briefcase thingie.
It's an M&S briefcase thingie that was sufficiently convincing that I thought it was leather rather than the plastic that it really is.
Within lay a 15 year old CV, part of an old argos leaflet from 2002 with a thing I worked on up in Rugby reduced to £39.99 from its original £79.99.
I'd have thunk that £19.99 would have been closer to the mark but there you go.
Have I mentioned the gales?
Stone me it's a bit windy out there now.
Everything is creaking intermittently as the gusts pass.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 3 March 2019, 18:53.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Quite calm out there now, just a breeze, which is a bit different from a couple of hours ago.
OldYoung Morse is having an interesting time of it this evening.
Obviously not on the square.
Which explains some later eps.

Once it was finally ready, tea was chicken in a kind of tomatoey Cajun sauce, with potato wedges roasted in duck fat. Not too bad really
I had a chicken carcass left over from last week, and there was another one taking up space in the fridge which I require for other purposes. I've got lots of soup in there so didn't want to make any more of that. So I bunged both carcasses in thecyber pressure cookerInstantPot™ with some veg and herbs and water, and gave them about half an hour at high pressure. They were standing up to both fit in at the start, but after that they were falling apart, so I pressed the bits of disintegrating skeleton down into the liquor and gave them another ten minutes just to extract the maximum value. Once strained, this left me with a nicely concentrated and flavoured stock, which I then used as the basis for the sauceComment
