    Sound quality and video is not terribly high - it was much richer live! But I've got the mix from the sound desk, and we've recorded much in HD, so we'll use that when we make the DVD.

    New battery installed in sy02s tank. Dropped the battery holdy in brackets thing in the engine bay, and went to gsf to try and get a magnetic telescopic pickup thingy. After queueing up for 35 minutes I was told no.

    But there is a new toolmaster warehouse on the industrial estate who did have one. And I treated myself to a new torch.

    Did the thermostat on the bimmer. Child's play really. And did a coolant flush, and forward and back flush with the hose. In car heating is much improved and now the car warms up normally and stays warm.

    I'm going to stop here, and if you read this far you'll realise just what a mundane saturday it's been standing around in the cold fiddling with me cars.

    I also read the toolmaster catalogue from cover to cover

    That reminds me of Sunday lunchtime jam sessions in a local pub, many years ago.

    Sun: Rowing, using turbo, collapse in gym sauna .... red wine!

    Happy weekend!
    What sort of turbo is that and who is this Wiggins chap?

    P.S. Have you done the Lincoln to Boston Marathon? Does it still clash with an annual fishing competition, neither side wanting to budge the date?

    Stew - beef and ale with dumplings ,
    soup - pick any autumn veg - squash or beetroot is good this time of year,
    game - anything roasted,
    Steak with a brandy and butter sauce with roast mushrooms
    Chicken breasts with tarragon and white wine with cream
    Pork fillet with Madeira sauce
    That's just the classics

    thai green curry
    lamb masala
    Prawn hot and sour soup


    I could go on.............
