A re-bore or re-sleeve for sure. Or maybe even a new engine if stuff's punched a hole in the side of the block.

Hopefully just a reborn/resleeve..

Are they okay?
Cars can be rebuilt/replaced a lot easier.

Yep, just the engine, luckily!

Well at least it went before the car turned into a pile of rust.

He's spent a long time cutting out the dead bits, rewelding everything. Even enough to get it MOT'd lol

Alternating rain, drizzle and mizzle here, today.
It's No1 Granddaughter's first football match since lockdown #2 this morning. ☔ ⚽ ☔

Morning .
It is grey here.
I'm about to go and make another .

Same here, on both counts.

I've even lit the wood stove.

Grey here too with rain due this afternoon. I'm drinking tea from a receptacle that's somewhere between a mug and a cup. A mup, a cug?

I can remember my mum giving me tea from a saucer in bed when I was young. It somehow tasted nicer !

I only did that to cool it down more quickly.

Not that I have any saucers. They became redundant apart from using them as the base for small plant pots.

I was thinking that I wouldn't make a very good presidential bodyguard .
I would be thinking it's his life or mine and besides they could always re elect another one and he may only be in office for 4 years .

Same here, on both counts.

I've even lit the wood stove.

As here, 9C and overcast.

 

[Reynard]

Cool, overcast and drizzly here chez Casa Reynard.

I have been watching the Formula E qualifying - the race is live on BBC2 at 2:45 btw.

And I've made a big pot of cullen skink.

I'll have what you're planning on having.

 

[Kempstonian]

oh that sounds great!

It certainly was Rocky! Well worth the cost

As I said, I have never had halibut before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I suppose I was thinking it might be similar to plaice (which I love) but it's nothing like it. I still have one more piece left too and it's a bit bigger!

The question now is do I cook it the same way or do I ask @Reynard to trebuchet over one of her fancy sauces?

 

[Illaveago]

There was a big cat fight in our kitchen a little while ago ! I don't actually know how big the cats were but there was a lot of screaming and a lot of fur lying around ! Georgie seems fine . He appeared from we don't know where , the other cat had disappeared but seems to have left a lot of fur .
I think next door's cat might have tried to come in .

Got jabbed this morning. No problems. 👍
