Good Morning! Don't think the weather knows quite what to do today -it's  hazy sunshine and pretty breezy, but it's meant to be raining!  Maybe it will later on, who knows. MrSmow is going to brave a trip to the tip this morning. It's usually me who goes but Ive persuaded him that it needs a man this time! Garden refuse,a broken garden hose system, and a BBQ that looks like it's held together purely by rust! It's an old gas one, and he's decided that he wants a coal one, as food cooked on gas one's tastes just like it's been cooked indoors. I went shopping yesterday afternoon and managed to get a couple of joints of lamb & beef half price in Sainsburys, so we will have one of those tomorrow, the lamb probably. Then the other later  on in the week. Am just going to check if post offices are open as need to post something but my friend swears they are all shut - being Easter weekend. I said nonsense..... Will see if I'm right in a min.

Anybody have visitors today or this weekend? Or just a nice quite one? X

Morning, weather still dull here but meant to be clearing up later. Didn't stop raining yesterday.  We had a surprise visit from friends we hadn't seen in years, they did phone first and we have been in touch during that time. 

Mucked my dinner plans up as I was going to do lamb guvec which takes 2.5 hours, so we had stuffed portabello mushrooms, will do the guvec tonight.

Need to stay in for a parcel that needs signing for, they gave me todays date then tried to deliver it Thursday when we were out, just hope they let me know the time slot soon.

John Lewis do a barbecue that is gas and you put the coals on as well to get the flavour, might be worth a look.

 

Good morning, our weather is shocking!! We are currently in the middle of a yellow weather warning ⚠️ for rain, it's bitterly cold and we have the fire lit already.

was going car shopping this morning but not sure I can be bothered!

Dinner was supposed to be a picky one but may end up being stew!

Morning ubasses - lamb guvec? Ohh I've never heard of that! Is it complicated? 
The John Lewis BBQ sounds interesting - I mite well get him to take a look at that, thanks!

Morning DDIL - gosh I didn't realise your weather was quite that bad! Stew might be the best option! x

Guvec in a turkish stew, pretty straightforward but needs cooking for a couple of hours.  First had it in Turkey and subsequently in local Turkish restaurant.

Here I am...late as usual. Breezy and bright here. No rain thankfully as we had loads yesterday. 

Had a nosebleed very late last night and didn't get to sleep until 3 am. Nosebleeds give me severe anxiety. Didn't stir from bed until 11 am.

That Turkish stew looks perfect for chilly weather. I'm also having lamb tonight...lamb ribs slow cooked with Moroccan spices. Not sure what else I'll be having. 

Question Author

Sounds wonderful ubasses - I definitely want to give that a try!

Hi Pasta - sorry about the nosebleed. Are they very common for you?? When I was in hospital the week before last I had 2 nosebleeds whilst in there  - completely out of the blue! Haven't had one for years before then. V odd!
