Filet Steak ragu for tea, and duck ragu tomorrow. Same recipe I did before Christmas after watching Saturday Morning TV. Quite boozy as needs half a bottle of good Italian wine and a big glug of port. Does get simmered for an hour ! The filet I got last weekend on 'yellow sticker' for a big piece of it - got 7 good portions for £20. The smell is driving me crazy as we're the hour of simmering. Leo (cat) hasn't moved out of the kitchen - I think he want's some.

No, they've all gone to Morocco (I think) for the winter.

They'll probably not be the ones I saw, anyway. I was last in Freiburg in about 1967

It seems that tonight I'm having my 94 yo nans bacon and egg pie.

I'm not sure what to expect.

Fingers crossed.

Unbelievably, Swindon Town are live on Sky Sports this evening.

So I’ve just put my current wheel build to one side and am settling down for some abject misery and disappointment.

Looking at the fog forming outside I hope we’ve found a nice all-grey away kit.

What, you mean you didn't give Leo some before you started cooking? Poor cat... Shame on you!

I have knitted pullovers and got stuck on the sewing up stage. Gradually I am trying to tackle that. Mainly by knitting top down jumpers. I now have problem with sleeve length.

Can you please ask Mrs Illaveago if the sleeves on hand-knitted jumpers tend to get longer or shorter after you have worn them a couple of times.

SWMBO said that it is difficult to judge where the armpits are going to be so it is best to make the sleeves longer and roll up the cuffs if necessary .

He's had some of the panchetta !

Thank you

My wife is trying to knit me a pullover in a blue wool similar colour to Caesium blue of my Jaguar . Little one is helping her by purring whilst kneeding the ball of wool .

I'll let you off... This time.

The posh cat's have had none. We're watching what the 'baby' ragdoll is eating as she's a right gready pig - she's piled on the weight.

MrsPete says my dumplings were tasteless 😔

Lovely outing in freezing fog, around -1C to -2C. Ice forming on glasses, beanie, gloves, jacket. You get the idea. But clothing perfect and no cold hands or feet.
95% gritted roads and cycle tracks with a bit of easy off road.

Like the joke HWMBO has just banned me from posting in Drago’s During the war thread.
