How was your week? in c/askuk@feddit.uk
[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 1 points 17 hours ago

Planet Rock just did a 50th anniversary special of Rainbow Raising. My first ever album and I still love it. Played it loud and proud just last weekend from start to finish. Lamb is in the BBQ…

It’s been nice to stay home and not have to travel for work. It’s been surprisingly cold for May, and mid week I was tempted to put my winter woolly socks on. Next I’ll attempt to make lamb shoulder on a coal BBQ to top the weekend. Let’s see how that goes.

Last week was second consecutive week of travelling for work. Not a fan! Weekend was a fair bit of garden work & BBQ both days. I am a fan of that!

No doughnuts here, strictly tea and biscuits.

Never mind gooning, I worry that the art of mooning is on the way out and will be lost.

Few people know that the IKEA floor planner is a physicist who has access to additional dimensions.

What could the Cotswolds possibly offer JD Vance? I suggest a swim in one of its rivers in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Perhaps one of the Thames Water executives could join him for a swim, just to show the natural beauty of the rivers they are the guardians of.

That’s a lot of wasted green if they don’t play golf.

I’m obsessed with snorkelling in Scotland: starfish below, sea eagles overhead – and it really isn’t that cold in c/nature@feddit.uk

Water is not cold if it’s liquid!

Clearly you haven’t seen a warm tortoise legging it. They can be surprisingly fast.

After several weekends and evenings of toiling my new BBQ setup is finally ready. Just in time for the thunderstorms!

State funeral for Larry the cat (when he eventually passes) (feddit.uk)
 

Larry has been a constant fixture of politics and UK foreign relations for a fair while. Just today he was part of the UK-France discourse.

I think he deserves a state funeral when he eventually passes. Should we create a parliamentary petiton?

What a way for Black Sabbath to bow out. Were you there or watch the stream? What did you think?

Modern technology threw some curveballs this year. I hope everybody had a great time regardless.

Home made gyros (feddit.uk)
 

The flatbread is from the shop, but everything else, including yogurt for the tzatziki, was home made from first principles.

My wife has made tzatziki for ages, but recently she started making it from home made yogurt. It’s been nothing short from a revelation.

Kebabs stayed on the skewers and none were lost to the fire gods. Result!

BBQ decking (feddit.uk)
 

I bought an Ooni pizza oven late last year and only afterwards realised I don’t have a good place for it. A decking project ensued to create new BBQ Central.

After several weekends of woodworking the main structure is ready. Now I can focus on looking for outdoor kitchen units, planing layout and finding a worktop.

Fixed the lawnmower (feddit.uk)
 

The lawnmower decided that Easter is a good time to stop working. I took it apart, cleaned fuel lines and the carburettor, put in a new spark plug, cleaned the air filter, and put it back together. It started with the first pull. Result.
