Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
We are probably having fish cakes from Morrisons and fries today. 🍟

Quite bright here.
We are hoping we are up to doing a "Dirk" later and have fish n chips (one portion between us though).
See how we feel nearer lunch time. Ours will be takeaway though.

I was having a conversation with someone at last weeks Weymouth Beer Festival. The foods on offer were pasties of various persuasions, and a couple of cake choices. The pasties were excellent ( so almost certainly locally made in Dorset, not the pale Cornish imitation 😉) I said my ideal sandwich would consist of a couple of doorsteps of white crusty bread thickly smeared with Cornish butter with sea salt crystals, a big slab of extra mature cheddar and a quarter inch slice of raw Spanish onion. All washed down with a pint of Westons vintage still cider. I'm hungry now, but Mrs Tenkaykev has just informed me that it's " World Egg Day " so perhaps an omelette is in order.

Is it? That’s handy as I was going to have a fried egg rolls soon. :laugh:

Starting to look like the chancellor is going to get shown the door. What a shambles.

.And , sadly the whole world is also a shamble at the moment.
I am preparing myself mentally for my day trip to London on Tuesday. I think we will leave home at 6 am to allow plenty of time , just in case. My appointment at the Embassy is at 12 noon. I will be glad to be back home on Tuesday night.

It certainly is. I try and not think about it too much as it is seriously depressing.

I was in Birmingham last week. That is a shambles of a place. I couldn't leave the place quick enough. Its like one giant car park, the roads are just potholes with the occasional bit it asphalt here and there. I honestly have no idea how people manage to live there. No amount of money would encourage me to go back and live there.

We had fresh salmon fishcakes from Morrisons today. I have to say they were pretty dreadful. Certainly won't have them again that's for sure.

I've just had our home insurance renewal letter, and been quoted less than last year :ohmy:, I shall have to have a closer look at it. Ham batch for me today, quiche for tea tonight and I've got a couple nice small pieces of salmon from Coventry's fish market for tomorrow.

Well that wasn't too bad in the end, as I was heading out to the supermarket the rain was starting, about half an hour after I'd put the washing out, and it rained for the rest of the morning, but the rain cleared, the sun came out and we had a warm and pleasent afternoon, I spent an hour pottering round the garden in the sunshine weeding, deadheading and tidying up.
