I now only have the electricity that I've secreted away in batteries and mobile phone.
The electricity man has just explained what is wrong with my buzz bar.

Shouldn't that be busbar?

I gather that it's a copper bar that acts as an extra protection against water ingress for sockets such as the cooker. But that's just a way of saying I don't know.

EDIT: further investigation tells me it's actually a busbar (or bus bar)

I see I was right, It's the common rail the fuse connects to.

Lovely lunch. One slice of bread & butter with my home cured salmon, one slice of bread & butter with apple & date chutney and a cracking 18 month matured Cornish cheddar, plus a minneola, half an avocado and two

What do you use to cure the salmon? I found vodka and lemon juice worked well.

What do you use to cure the salmon? I found vodka and lemon juice worked well.

I do it the Swedish way*, with salt, sugar, black pepper and dill.

Might add some other spices and chilli to the cure depending on what I fancy.

* a Hairy Biker recipe I've adapted to my needs.

I went for a 12 mile ride this morning . I left it a bit late , it was about 11.30 when I set off. It was lovely and sunny but there was a chilly wind . I put my snoody thing on to keep my head and ears warm , I also used it as a bit of a mask to stop the cold air getting at my teeth . I think I may have sinus problems . I haven't ridden for a while and I found it hard work .

They are used to sit Carp rods on. Bite alarms at the front and rod rests at the back

Flipping heck I knew fishing had become more technical since my youth when a rod reel float and a hook plus various baits was all I needed for a pleasure day of .fishing.If i had to carry all of today’s equipment
I would probably be wearing a truss

Well the upgrade to windows 11 is done. All I have to do now is play around with it to find what`s what. Hopefully it`s stable.
