Reboot your router and then laptop/tablet.

Reboot your router and then laptop/tablet.

Thanks! I'll try that when SWMBO gets back as I may literally boot things !

Not a common combination in Australia:

Clipped the grape vine this morning. Grapes coming on lovely now. Also re-jigged the contents of the fridge, emptied, scrubbed and re-packed the vegetable drawer.

Lunch shortly. I have a lot of choice, but I am thinking of a roast pork and mustard sandwich.

Have errands to run this afternoon. Will likely go by bicycle.

I grill the fish for 4-5 minutes so that it's barely cooked but it will 'flake', it also means that the skin will peel off so half a dozen furry gannets have a bit of a treat. Hugh Barely-Withitall recommends poaching the fish in milk then making the sauce with that but it didn't work as well when I tried that so I went back to 'lightly' grilling the fish.

Youngest Grand Daughter thought it was lovely.

Looks tasty.

I do mine the "classical" way. My mum trained in a professional kitchen, and she taught me how to cook. To be fair, there's no right way or wrong way, but I do prefer putting the fish and seafood in raw.

There is a knack to skinning raw fish. Start at the tail end of the fillet, use a sharp knife to separate the skin and flesh for the first inch at most, Then take the loose flap of skin (wrapping it in a bit of kitchen roll gives you a better grip), and then just pull. The membrane will release and the skin should pull off cleanly. If you've smaller portions, then simply slide a sharp (and I mean sharp) knife between the skin and the flesh.

Oooh, that was a lovely lunch...

One slice of bread with roast pork & mustard, one slice of bread topped with avocado, salt & pepper, two plus a flat peach and a satsuma.



Now going to go for said utility bike ride to work it all off.

Just got back from a bike ride. I was supposed to go to the Employment Agency to check some paperwork, having done that II visited the place I'd done my internship -which it turns out may have a job going on another department- and then set off to explore.

I ended up about 30k away and am now pooped. Details follow when I can to the words in the right order writing thing...

How are you mending, Wol?

A short bike ride today. But I do have a pannier full of filberts.

Have spread them out on newspaper to dry.

Bought some shaving oil for Paris Brest Paris. Having a shave and wash every 24 hours will keep my mood high during the event.
