I think they are talking about a chippy chippy chopper with a big black block.

A short sharp shock is always the outcome

Have you got any sharks over there?

Not seen any yet.

Pleased to report my 29 euro emergency glasses (having lost the others in a big wave) from Fuengirola are fine and my prescription hasnt changed (thanks his lucky God's I ordered some glasses on line 5 years ago, prescription was still stored). The reason I can't see so well at home is too many hours in front of a screen at work.

Hmm give up work ?

Yep.

Sunny here in Leicester, just had to water the garden.

Yesterday didn't feel mundane at the time. Mrs MY got stuck in No1 son's bathroom 'cos the latch had disintegrated. At said son's suggestion we tried to open it using a credit card and were successful. However, it isn't as easy as they make it look in films.

Mine have been subjected to a slashing attack by the local farmer

Bummer...

You'd be welcome to mine as I have several sloe bushes in my hedge, but just gone to look and the crop isn't worth picking. I've got a reasonable crop of bullaces though if you fancy.

My 32p rack of pork ribs is slowly simmering away in the crock pot. Marinated it overnight in a mix of soy, garlic oil, garlic and five spice. Will finish them in a hot oven after I've glazed with some hoisin sauce.

Are they any good in gin?
(if I can't find an alternative sloe supply, I may take you up on the offer )

That I can't tell you, because I'm teetotal

But I do know that they're not as sour as sloes but that they're more sour than a standard plum. They do make a reasonable if very sharp preserve. I sometimes mix a few of them in with ordinary Vics when making jam.

Warm and sunny in Bristol.... it was only London and the east that was damp, and I gather Scotland was glorious!

I will say I found Cheshire mostly overcast after the rain.

I watched a programme about King Tut last night, and thought that the room which stored his possessions looked like the inside of a modern garage except that it didn't have many bicycles.
