I was on the way to Kings Lynn and there's always chod here, today it was just the 406 and a shagged gold Roller.

The Mighty Mariners 1 - 0 Colchester

 

A really well won three points. We deserved the win, we had a few wobbly moments but played the better football. They seemed to try breaking too quickly and just looked to lack a little composure.

 

10 from 12 and 4 clean sheets!

No wonder Saab went tits-up: ordered a pair of door pull handles, cream or grey? I was asked... Cream please... no cream left, they always fall apart but the grey ones last forever. OK, I'll have grey then... yep over 700 in stock. :)

Not sure if I should grin about others misfortune, but just had a car dragged off for scrap, and the bloke loading it forgot to put the handbrake on/stick it in park...and it rolled forward and hit the lorry cab. Hard. Hard enough that when he adjusted the loading ramp the cab moved with it. Oh shit.

 

I felt bad but I genuinely can't do anything about it. And it wasn't my fault for once.

I had similar when the blue laguna was collected, I'd had the bumper off to get the headlight washers out and just sort of rested it back on, thinking it would be stuck on a loader... Nope, he a-framed it back to thame up the M40... I kept an eye on the traffic for the next hour anticipating an accident, clutching my signed and timed receipt closely!

Just made a Nigel slater recipe with my late grandmother’s recipe for shortcrust pastry. Not used this before- she didn’t tell me, but my grandfather emailed me earlier in the year before he died.

 

Should anyone be interested it’s very simple - 8oz flour, 2oz lard, 2oz butter, 1pinch salt and 1 egg, leave to rest for 30mins. He said she’d told him it was her grandmother’s recipe which would put it into the mid 1850s.

I love family recipes - I have our Christmas cake one and some from my Grandma, my mum tends to cook by eye with the ingredients so it's difficult to get anything written down. Also have my late father in laws salmon moose recipe which is simple and good.

In Spain for the week. First a few days in Valencia which is a lovely city, now we're in Salou. What brings me here, I hear no-one ask?

 

WRC Catalunya

 

The walk to the shop was interesting this morning.
