Was anybody else when they were younger told “Don’t eat cheese before bed or it will give you nightmares”?

Think that’s true? Or tall tales by cheese loving night owls?

Just such bad weather last year. I need some good charcoal though. I bought it all from these guys for years https://whittleandflame.co.uk/kiln/index.php/about-whittle-and-flame/ but really sad to hear they suffered an arson attack last year! What absolute arsehole does that?

Anyway. They’ve partnered with another company while they rebuild so I’ll try that

People like knocking TikTok, but sometimes it throws up some lovely things. A tourist caught some Alpini on their way to the Adunata at Milan Central Station singing ‘Tornerò’. Pretty cool

Really looking forward to grilling fish this year on it, one of the benefits of living on the coast. Really love langoustines on it, but my god flies love the carcass so no eating outside for them.

First fire lit in the grill outside this year so I stink of woodsmoke (the best smell ever). I’ve no idea if there’s science behind it, but if you haven’t had a fire in something for a while - light a good one before you want to cook.

Going to spatchcock a chicken tomorrow and cook it over charcoal. So needed that fire today.

A thread over time to keep things honest.

My working out has been a little haphazard lately. Herself was keen on a new trend, it’s an ADHD thing - ‘Body doubling’ where she does better if I join in. So I’m joining in.

Content warning:UK Politics

I can’t be arsed to read the nitty gritty, but it looks like Starmer has managed to get a break for UK industry without giving much up.

Impressed, as he was beginning to seem a bit wet to me. The moves with the EU will be really telling though.

News just needs to create drama

“Ermahgerd, why is it so late for the smoke?”

Meanwhile in the Sistine Chapel the Camerlengo is mumbling “Muovi il culo” to the 84th of 133 Cardinals as they wander down to cast their vote
