Thanks all… it is indeed my birthday!
Unexpected influx of outlaws meant I seem to have missed tea though, never mind… it was to have been leftover curry. It will make a cracking lunch tomorrow.
Spent the afternoon making a half gallon of green tomato chutney, as I needed to cull the tomato plants to make space in the greenhouse for the tender pots. House has a definite vinegar aroma now. Also made a dozen sausage rolls while the chutney was reducing down. Some drinks have also been consumed, and Hawkwind has been played at a volume not usually expected on a quiet Monday afternoon.
Sister bought me a Drosselmeyer nutcracker. Swedish. Built like a Volvo. So far I’ve not found a single nut it hasn’t despatched with Scandinavian style and efficiency. 4 stars.

Only allowed leftovers, even on your birthday. Bit harsh.

Understandable. But still harsh.

I now want a Desperate Dan cow pie accompanied by bangers and mash with the sausages stuck in the mash. 4* <edit>and another vegetable just to keep Shenguin happy. Young Shengers (pre-13) used to love the Little Pie Factory. www.madorourkes.com/food.htmlThis was back when Mad himself used to run it. It's not so good these days. Cow Pie & pints of lumphammer (not for the <13 obviously) It went down the nick. When I used to frequent the venue regularly, the Desperate Dan cow pie and a gallon of Lump 'ommer* was a right of passage. It should be noted I've not been back since it changed hands for the second time. Also it was a stop for some of the Black Country beer bus tours just 'cus of Lump 'ommer, which meant you could always meet some new and interesting** people most weekends. *note no guttural Brummie pronunciation. ** mostly total bell-ends
