Good morning everyone from the gloom and mist coated bin day in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of BBQ came in a 5.2 this am.
I don’t like the raw yet charcoal offerings so prepared my meats beforehand; sausages lightly poached in some stock, burgers sous vide at 58 degrees for an hour and chicken breasts marinated, wrapped in tin foil with a bit of liquid and in the oven at 70 degrees for an hour. Finish off on the BBQ - works a treat. We were due to have some skewered veg sticks but daughter left them in the fridge at home. Never mind, lots of salads to be had.
Fans - we bought a little aircon jobby - about 40 quid - fill the tank with water and plug it in (comes with a usb lead) - really good for downstairs but far too noisy for a good nights kip. So, fans blowing air over plastic bottles full of ice in the bedrooms. My mother has one of those fancy nebulizer fans but it does get very hot where she lives in France - this sort of thing -

@geefull - those ‘white knights’ and the resist worked well and some great veins in this rendition of John Blockley - the craggy background is great.
Hope that everyone is having the best day that they can - soon be chucking it down with rain I have been told. Koffy.
