Well my lads band never got to play in Portugal, the main man got turned away from airport as his passport was one month over 10 years old. He is gutted, to say the least.

Oh no thats just totally gutting for them. It is however very important to be prepared before international travel way in advance. It does pay to be organised.

Mum gave me some rhubarb again, just took the crumble out the oven. Also got some of the last broad beans and 1/2 of a giant courgette ,she said the beans are a bit tough. Not sure what to do with the marrow/courgette but i do have some tinned tomato in a dish in the fridge from the other day.
 Got on well today, fitted the fuse box and sorted the wiring runs out. Caught my arm and ripped the skin again, must put some cream on my arms to see if my skin gets tougher.

Courgette is lovely sliced then roasted on olive oil with some salt and pepper. If big enough they are nice stuffed with mince, spices and rice.

I asked my lad is your passport okay, think I had a premonition. Sausage. tomato, courgette and broad beans in the pan. Onion and garlic to start.

There's loads you can do with courgetttes. I normally just roast them with peppers, garlic and red onion with either chicken or sweet potato but I also like to slice them thinly with a veg peeler brush, oil on them, season and whack them on a hot ridged griddle. I then make bruschetta with a fresh tomato salsa, courgettes on top, maybe some torn buffao mozzarella extra virgin olive oil. Tasty and light for this heat!

Expect lots of complaining about the heat for the next few days!! Woke early and thought get a move on and beat the heat at the workshop but is 20C already at 7.30 am and inside my flat its showing 26C on the thermometer in the living room.
 Cleaning and painting bits this morning, no welding till its a bit cooler!

It was getting hot by 2pm, car said 31C. Good job I have that blower to cool myself off. Came home early to pick my prescription up, different make that I did have some of before. Just hope they dont react, peel the clothes off and a good shower followed by an icecream and putting my feet up.

Pics of the Herferod before I started to hot rod it. After the roof chop and Rover engine fitted. Just so you can see what I have been up to, a lot more has been done since then. Posted a quick vid on my You Tube under shorts. davinabaldwinwp1ff

It is always wonderful to get a peek into Davina's Garage!

I was looking for Robbie, the Supervisor. Is he still around? Or did he find another job?

If only it were cold and snowy outside, that would feel nice.
I loose my mojo when the temps get in the high 80's (f) or 30's(c) Its short skirt and tank top with no bra but still hard to work.
