Stunning sunny day crystal clear air perfect for the Zakopane Mountains tour.
With 4 Brits. OMG 1st ones I’ve talked to since lockdown.
Kevin & his wife & 2 mates.
Kevin owns Kasbah in Old Christchurch Road, just returned as a sports bar (Chelsea)
His mate Monty - Saints fan & I think Chris the Bompey fan.
Great day talked shit & politics & tour stuff.
They loved it & Covid permitting will be back for a week in December Kevin’s Tours apparently
You may recall tales of Mrs P_F & BFF heading out when the villages put stuff out for scrap.
Obviously not preferred plan but Covid the economy & crooks.
The kitchen here has been a nightmare being short of units & we needed an island in the centre - again had to make do.
Anyway, the Gasman told Mrs P_F to come round to his place (what to do?) As his Mum was chucking an old kitchen out & maybe the units would help as a temporary solution.
What are the odds that
The units are in good nick
They are the identical design & colour of the shitty ones we already have?
Seems Gasman has satisfied all the ladies of the house. Mum finally has her complete kitchen & can move stuff out of sister in law’s upstairs. We can get our kitchen stuff outta storage.
National Car Free Day here.
So trains are free.
So why not? Sunny day, Rattler into town, stock up on stuff cant get in the village and may even have a Donut!
I am actually working.
New tactic sit in British Pub try and find mugs who want to go on a tour.
Not working.
On the other side, the waitress is VERY Chatty, seems a Brit living here is “something”
Hmmm
Nah.
Shopping to do in reality but ahhhhh Draught Beer.
£1.80 a pint
Took me old jalopy out for a drive around the Winchester area this morning while the sun shone. I love these ramshackle barns, make an interesting backdrop…
I’m not setting up a BBQ at 9pm on a Tuesday just to do one steak Bob. And when you say grilling do you mean putting under the grill, like cheese on toast?
What you mean is the pan was luke warm and you turned your steak over twice in it before removing it heating the pan to red hot and frying the onions to put on it
Thick cut steak. Must be room temperature. Get it out of the fridge at least an hour before cooking. Rub a little bit of oil into it. LOTS of salt and pepper. HOT pan. Chuck it in. LEAVE IT ALONE. Cook for 90 seconds. Turn steak over. Cook for 1 minute. Add a massive knob of butter to pan and spoon over steak whilst cooking for further 1 minute.
REST steak for 5 minutes.
Eat Medium rare steak.
