Evening Both.

Wet this morning, 11c some sun in the afternoon but wind was 18, annoying.

Just had cheese on toast with tomato for brekkie.

My new Chip maker came, it does veg as well which is handy now i use potatoes and onions etc, it looks good but i ran out of potatoes, we don't have a deep fryer now as i found them such a problem, the oil gets in such a mess and you need to keep changing it but trying to clean the tank etc was such a problem, the oil that was on the sides of the fryer wouldn't come off, it wasn't soluble with normal solvents, it was a night mare.

This is the Chipper:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0...11_189395841_TE_dp_1

Whereas with the Wok i can just empty the oil into something, only use a drop anyway, and then i just either give it a wash (no soap) or wipe with kitchen towel.

Fitted some of the spikes that came, i drill a 7mm hole then hammer it in till it stops at the bottom of the hole, they are part of the support system for raspberries, vines, and tomatoes and peas.

For tea i decided to use some of the Satay chicken sticks, i have loads of the peanut sauce and it's quick to do in the Wok, fried a few chillies to go with it and added a bit of spice. very tasty.

Rang the Eye place where i got my last eye test and glasses, it was last May, have an appointment Tuesday.

Just done my Shopping list, it's getting smaller with me having so much stuff in and it's so easy to get it off the web which saves o/h carrying it as well.

Mollie, My waterworks have been the best ever, but i was wondering if these tablets have to carry on or have they done the job.

Yes, it will be cold this weekend, but my forecast shows it nicer next Tuesday/Wednesday. 

Emptybox, I think i lose a lot of heat from the vents, the stove has one above it, the kitchen has a vent in the wall, the kitchen doesn't get hot which is a good thing, i have a vent in my office, there is a vent in the bathroom and the on-suite shower, the heating settings now are from 06.30 it is 19c, from 6pm it is 20c till 10pm when it goes to 17.5c till morning.

Those fixings for the roofing, i have bought that pack of 100 also bought a 100 pack or 6mm penny washers 25mm as i can use them on the gazebo roof as the wind wants to blow the roof tiles off with them being thick sanded felt, but if i drill down into the wood frame with the fixings and have a stainless penny washer under it it sure won't blow off, i did one side last year so will do the other 5 this year.

Yes, Grandpa uses a lot of oil but the oil has to be deep enough for what he is cooking/frying, not sure about the salt, he cooks so much food for so many and salt brings out the flavour so it's hard to tell.

Not sure about the gloves he uses, whether it's to do with the ingredients or whether he need to be able to clean his hands and they don't have anything but water which might not clean them too well.

Saw Supervet and the Tribute to Steven, a busy feller, he needs so many carers, no wonder.
