@Pedro are you familiar with a chef called Yotam Ottolenghi? He does a lot of Middle Eastern cooking and has some fantastic recipes (a lot of them for free in The Guardian). He has the ability to get the flavours to the next level in a way that blends both old school and modern. I think you’d really enjoy him.

I’ll try

Mind the fence Bob

Nice, I was thinking of simple chain link fencing but thats ideal.

I’m sure I can get a nice car park shot

I dunno Pedro. It’s certainly a contentious issue, people seem to get very hot under the collar about vegan/vegetarian food, the climate change deniers are very loud and usually it seems rather poorly read. But most people have suffered a lecture from a vegan about their life choices and that can’t fail to get your back up. Have you tried plant based Chorizo? It’s awful and that’s where I draw the line. I’m not eating anything than doesn’t taste good. Dairy is responsible for a huge amount of overall greenhouse emissions, it’s also impossible to produce without causing an animal distress. I prefer the taste of oatmilk anyway.. but I do love good cheeses. I think what I’m getting from what you’ve written is it’s all about balance. Couldn’t agree more.

Dropping friend back to the airport and car back to Helle Hollis. Picking up mobike (can’t wait) and then I have a 7 days to myself.

Stay under the radar, craft a nice small c conservative goody two shoes image, do well in your exams and you you can pretty much do whatever the feck you like and cos you’re above suspicion no-one even notices

I’ve noticed a mahoosive price hike on the food front out here. And noticed Spanish peoples love for growing both plants and fruit n veg. Rather lovely I think. Is Portugal the same @Pedro?

My party partner went LAAARGE on day one and two so I’m now free because they’re conked out

Superb

Oh yer policing west country style. I love Somerset. https://metro.co.uk/2023/03/16/mounted-police-chase-down-driver-using-phone-at-wheel-in-taunton-18457543/

Emailed airport parking to let them know I'll be picking the bike up on Saturday. So excited. Like a cow let out in spring..

Christ @Pedro the olds have conked out again

I don't remember coffee tasting that bad (but it's still joyless) because it's strongly flavoured enough to over power the plastic coated paper cup taste but the flavour of tea is easily ruined by it.

Got the sena 30 and the sena 50 mesh thing. Can't be arsed with either of them. You have to maintain a close proximity to the other rider for it to work and when it does you realise you don't want to talk to other feckers when you're riding

I have fond memories of the Wimpy in Taunton. That's were me and Mr Slowly used to meet up when we were truanting cos there was no chance anyone we knew would eat in there and we wouldn't get caught The food was inedible but at least the tea was served in a proper cup and saucer unlike all the plastic tasting disposable crap you get now.

Fingers crossed n all that @XTreme I'm sure it'll all work out fine and dandy. What sort of mesh they using?...

These would also work a treat and be less embarrassing https://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Play-PLA008-Stilts-Game-Blue/dp/B07BBFHN19/ref=asc_df_B07BBFHN19/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=399577982382&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1281252288746741071&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9041106&hvtargid=pla-865077867811&th=1&ref=&adgrpid=85329202735

Sending good wishes for a smooth time @Tango

Who hasn’t endured a Mandy? The tattoo episode was brilliant

Daisy May Cooper was superb in ‘Am I being unreasonable?’ Not sure it’s a good fit for here but I loved it. Clever.

Yerp, my favourite bit of the whole series. Can’t say tomato normally now

‘This Country’ Amusing in it’s own right but extra funny if your from the south west.

Dine and dash. Classy theft
