I was due to have my second jab on the 18th but I had a letter earlier in the week to say they had changed my appointment - I'm having it at 11.55 tomorrow morning! Yay!

Just had halibut for the first time - expensive (very!) but I loved it! I have another slightly bigger piece for another day.

Halibut is lovely. A favourite way is baked in the oven with butter, tarragon and capers. Classic, but very good.

Smoked halibut is tasty too, but so hard to get here in the UK.

And you know what, sometimes there's nothing wrong spending a little bit of money on something tasty.

baked? broiled? grilled? fried?

Fried in butter with black pepper sprinkled on it.

I'm off for my 2nd jab tomorrow too but you beat me by 3 1/2 hours.

Very true. 👍

I went a bit mad with my Regal Fish order this time. I also bought a big bag of raw king prawns (frozen), some cockle meat, some mussells and a couple of Paella mixes. With what I still have in the freezer I could probably live on fish for a month!

If I want smoked fish I just use my own smoker with oak chippings. You can smoke all sorts of things but I just stick to fish.

Mmmmmm, fish pie! Garlic prawns! Prawn tempura with chilli sauce!

I used to have my own smoker back in the day when I fished. Loved doing hot smoked trout and eels.

I'm putting new bearings into a couple of wheels. The rear is fine.

The front? I squashed my finger trying to fit the bearings yesterday. And today they've completely vanished

Your fingers have disappeared?

No he's just lost his bearings. Hold off until sun rises in the east.

Thought it was his marbles that were now M.I A..

Spent a few hours this morning & early afternoon washing & polishing the car, vacuuming the interior and cleaning all the glass.

Which is all very well but unfortunately, apart from a trip to Lowestoft tomorrow, it's not going anywhere much until the end of May now. A 'clarification' from the Government means that racing circuits have been classified as stadiums so cannot open to the public next week as planned - my first outing was going to be Brands Hatch on the 24th April but is now the same venue on the 22nd May

In happier news, mum & stepfather had their 2nd Covid jabs this morning. Apparently they were there for over an hour as they kept meeting people they hadn't seen for ages on their way in or out, or in one case doing the marshalling.
