https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-44651240 Gosh, I haven't seen one of these for a while. Mus be a hot summer

[237SJ]

*must*

[Mamyalynne]

Flaming hot here, but then I've just cooked a big piece of brisket.

[237SJ]

At this time of night? Are you going to freeze it?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, slice and freeze.

[Old_Geezer]

Islands surrounded by water and they haven't enough for hosepipes in a warm summer. :-(

[237SJ]

What will you serve it with?

[Cloverjo]

Why do people need to water their lawns anyway? They'll soon turn green again when it rains - just in time for Wimbledon probably.

[tonyav]

Thank gawd for that it's NI. I can still get my errrrrm hosepipe out here ;-)

[Old_Geezer]

By then the veg patch has died Jo.

[Cloverjo]

I use a watering can for my veg.

[Mamyalynne]

I use cold brisket just like roast beef - sandwiches or warm in some gravy for a roast dinner.

I'll make broth with the stock I cooked the meat in.

[Mamyalynne]

Don't be getting anything out again Tony, the neighbours reported you last time ;-)

[tonyav]

Oh yes, thanks Mamya. I had quite forgotten about the Barbecue incident Psssst was it gness that grassed me up ?.

[237SJ]

Would be nice in a sandwich with some English mustard

[Mamyalynne]

It was Tony.

Yes 237, great with mustard and some thinly sliced raw onion.

[tonyav]

I just knew it would be, Mamya.

That sandwich sounds great, I'm feeling hungry all of a sudden.

[Old_Geezer]

Continually filling watering cans is a pain, not to mention lugging them to the plants.
