Post by: waspy on 05 May 2008, 17:07:57

Took the wife to Hamburg airport so she can get to London for her next round of trips so I get 7 days peace  :y

Once I dropped her off I nipped over the border to Denmark to research my planned fly fishing trip for next weekend.   I'm after those sea trout, bass and garfish!  ;)

I do salidioter fly fishing, which is more fun than trout fishing IMO, and the fish are tastier! yum!

Its crackin exercise too, when I went recently in hawaii chasing the hard-fighting bonefish I used a gps to log where I had takes and the such.  Works out I walked over 10km in the water!  No wonder I was 'dangle berries'ed afterwards  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Went up to my mates mums in Fife last night. She is a dog breeder and has a wee cottage in the middle of nowhere, really peaceful.
Had a few ton of drinks, had a right giggle, and somehow have agreed to take two dogs she is fostering just now.
If I cant get the two dogs, she will give me one of the new pups.

She currently has 28 dogs at the moment.

I dont know how she can manage.

My friend, his swmbo, my swmbo and of course myself, decided to take a wee detour on the drive back home and take his wolf/gs hybrid for a walk on the beach and get some ice cream. ;)

I treated mesel to a slush puppie too. :y

Back in the house now and am shattered.

Unfortunately got a 5am start in the morning :(

At least it's just a 3day week. :y

The Wife is in the Canaries, so took the opportunity to put some extra baffles in the Harley in an attempt to tone the noise down a bit for the MOT. It seems just as loud, but half an octave lower, :o which may do the trick.

Outside washed, clay bar all over, 2 coats of black polish, 2 coats of clear polish & the wheels all scrubbed & polished.
Inside it got hoovered, glass all done, headlining cleaned, carpets cleaned & leather fed & glossed up.

All this & a suntan as well
Good times :y

I fixed the multirams on the MV6 that hadn't been working since HG work, and took for a 0-60s test down A43 as it still feels slow.  7.5s out of an auto is respectable enough though ::)

Then I fitted a CARiN system to tractor, still need to mount CD unit when bracket arrives, and flashed it up to V2.3

Then I had my first bbq of the year, then promptly nodded off for a couple of hours ;D

Essentially, a meatloaf recipe , made with finest fillet steak lean mince, onions, peppadews (Cherry pepppers) brioche crumbs , tomato puree, worcester sauce and egg, with a layer of blue cheese in the middle of it....  (note the meatloaf beef is fried off and excess juices removed before making the mix....    )
 geta LARGE marrow...   peel it, and slice off the top,  NOT halfway down...   but just far enough in to get to the core, without wrecking it's "structure" ,  spoon out all the seeds and stringy bits...  stuff with the meatloaf mix, putting a layer of stilton in the middle...

butter some foil (on the Shinier side)  , and generously grind fresh black peper on to it, and a tiny bit of salt, and garlic granules if you like, then put the "lid" back on the marrow... and tightly wrap it inside the foil  
  bake in a pre-heated  medium hot oven (about 190 c ) for about 45 minutes to an hour...  

unwrap, slice into the required number of portions (we usually feed 4   per marrow) and serve with new potatoes , tossed in lime juice and butter.
