Just to keep you in loop I'm making a roasted garlic soup. It's my first go at it.

How do you roast soup, does it not fall through the grill rails?

Not if you freeze it first,... I think.

I'm damn sure google also monitors your microphone - folk in the office have commented the same - you can be discussing 'something' then when browsing the internet, the adverts seem to pop up.

Cold, occasionally sunny and very breezy here chez Casa Witty.

The wind is absolutely brutal, so I am not going outside. It's even too cold to do anything in the garage. But I finished off making the oxtail soup this morning, and had a big bowl of it for lunch with two slices of wholemeal toast. It is absolutely lush! And appropriate to start off the Year of the Ox

I have some paperwork to do this afternoon, and then I will carry on working on the Higman.

I'm trying to picture the circles but can't decide in which plane they are in . Are they flat like plates or or standy uppy like a tube ?

Flat, like plates, but with a hole in the middle, and graduated in size. Basically, the sidewalls of the tyres, which I will then sand down to a curved profile.

Three wheels are now completely built, with two of them still needing various degrees of sanding. And the last wheel is half built.

Wish me luck.

Oooh, lovely! Will swap a bowl of that for a bowl of home made oxtail...

Hmm...

On my Book of Faces feed the other night, I had adverts for scale model F1 cars, various Durex products, Colemans mustard and a she wee.

Go figure.

I do indeed have a spare bowl.

I'll freeze it and get the trebuchet ready.
It'll roast and fly nicely if frozen.

Any Bristol City fans here?

Didn't think so.

I've been and had my Jab. There were a lot of people there. I couldn't help laughing as it looked like people were having both jabs the same day as the queue curled round from the front right round to the beginning again .
I've had the Oxford version .

Were they socialising distancing, talking to my SIL earlier, she passed a testing centre in Sheffield yesterday & they were queuing outside in groups with no masks.

I've decided to change the Saturday routine. I'm a morning person so I'm much more awake before about 2pm. On previous Saturdays I've generally felt guilty about the general mess of the apartment so I tidied up first and did "sensible things" which meant I wasn't at my best in the afternoon.
In the last few weeks I've started ignoring housework and doing creative stuff like making models and blogging in the morning, then cleaning in the afternoon, which works much better.
I jus thought you'd like to know...

I'm totally the opposite. Very definitely NOT a morning person, so I tend to leave the creative stuff (writing, painting etc) till the evening and do the cr*p I don't like doing early doors to get it out of the way.

Except for cooking. I'm happy to cook any time

So that's what boinged off the roof and landed in the drain...
