I often get the cheapest, basic Aldi pizzas and throw a load of extras on eg extra cheese, mushroom, peppers, onion (whatever is in the fridge). Why people pay stupid money for a delivered pizza is beyond me.
Oh yes, I normally do chips to go with it.
Oh yes, a bottle of red is mandatory ^_^
I think pizzas are grossly over rated. We very rarely have one.

Back from golf to find MrsD has been chucking up lumps. I have given her a glass of potion (brandy and port) which seems to have helped.
Anyway my planned ride is out** as I cant leave her like that (I am so tender hearted^_^)
Boy....it was hot on that golf course.
**Tomorrow I am golfing earlier so will get a ride in about 12.30

Just been down to check on the caravan and pick up a couple of things from it.
Very heavy traffic coming into the village - almost Bank Holiday levels.
Came back along the coast road.
Beaches are rammed. All car parks have 'Full' signs.
Came back for a spot of lunch, a couple of beers and a doss in the garden.
Currently showing 30°. :sun:
Shade temperature,

Strange world. My son is going there on July 3rd and will have to spend 2 weeks in his hotel room too before moving on to his place of work, installing wind farms , only 5 miles off shore. After his 6 weeks on, he will have to spend another 2 weeks quarantine before being allowed to fly back. Like your son, he is being paid for the quarantine as well. What does your son do?
Never very sure of his actual job title as he is qualified in all sorts of things and latterly was a health and safety manager on wind farm construction sites. He is in Taiwan currently working for Seimens on wind farm installation where he has been before a couple of times. He does not have to quarantine before flying back but may have to quarantine at home on return. Seimens arrange health checks on return anyway but this will not probably influence the quarantine. It took a long time to get a work permit for this visit as Taiwan seems to be one of the safer places to be currently re conavirus.

Yes......but £1.09 from Aldi plus whatever I throw on makes a good cheap nosh for two.
I have started using a couple of slices of my own make bread as a pizza base and then adding ketchup with raw tomato and cheese with a sprinkle of herbs and sometimes onion or garlic, whatever comes to hand. This then gets 30 minutes in the remoska and seems to work ok.

26 deg here. And tomorrow is going to be even hotter.
You mean I might not need the body warmer!

Just been talking to my son and he thinks he knows yours. Does his first name start with an " N"?

We used to do similar but with french stick. And we used a mix of tommy ketch and mayo.
BTW what is a remoska ??
