We're having a Fish Pie today, Salmon, Cod. Smoked Haddock and Smoked Mackerel, I lightly grill the Fish so that it will flake into the dish then cover it in Parsley sauce (fresh Parsley from the garden) and top it with mashed spuds with a bit of cheese grated over that.

What time do you want us round

Put my guinea boys out on the lawn this morning whilst I cleaned out their cage, just clearing up when I noticed it was raining so we had to dash out and bring them back in.

It is blowing quite a hooey here today, hope everyone is safe.

'twas quite windy here yesterday.

Been out for three hours on the Brompton. Flattered during first half and good workout into the wind on way back. Hot dogs for lunch. Suitably exercised and feed for today.

2015 Astra 1.6 petrol non turbo, not an economical or particually sporty car by any means but I like it.
Trip Pboro to Birmingham last week, tail winds, sensible driving, managed 55 mpg, really quite good for a heavy car.
Return trip yesterday, head winds, probably 47 or 48 mpg.
Quite happy with that.

Loaves and fish?

I think the original is flipped, however, as my vascular surgeon has this painting in his office. Fish look like crappie, btw. Or a bream/sunfish/bluegill.

One occupational hazard with having a daughter is her choice of books, or rather the books gifted from friends, with poems about fairies and similar.

While reading a particularly syrupy example today; mainly on the subject of fairies, daisies, and glitter, I realised there's a way of making them bearable:

Read them with a Glaswegian accent.

It's remarkable how many "alternative" rhymes come to mind when you do this.

Lazy day today.

Slept in, then had a brunch of pork pie followed by a cheese and chutney sandwich, two and some fresh pineapple.

Listened to Arsenal v Newcastle and watched the W-series from Brands.

Now sat with another and some snaccsidents.

It is currently

Just how many packets of custard creams "threw themselves" into your shopping?

Just one very large one.

Sounds good. Do you then wang that in the oven or under the grill?

If you put it in the oven for 20 mins to half an hour (depending on the size of the pie) you really don't need to pre-cook the fish. Just cut it into chunks and stir into the hot sauce. Your fish won't go rubbery that way as it poaches gently in the sauce.

Edited to say that if you do as above, then add some raw king prawns as well. And / or raw scallops (the small ones that come in a prepacked tray) if you're feeling particularly poncy.

P.S. YS really is your friend here...

Hmm... I recommend Roald Dahl's "Revolting Rhymes".

It's thundering and chucking it down here in Leicester.

A succession of very heavy showers here this afternoon, no thunder though.
