Slow Food

That is the title of the new duo album by Steve Lawson and Trip Wamsley available from Steve's website. Price? Whatever you want to pay for it. You could even get it for free but, as I aurally chew over this exquisitely cooked offering with all the rich goodness I expected from these two bass-meisters, I don't regret deciding it was worth a bit more than that. Tasty.

Polytunnel Construction

We're underway with polytunnel construction. After slaving away on Sunday afternoon and again after work yesterday, we have got as far as ... having the six feet in place!

Slow going then, but at least we are confident of a solid and accurate foundation. If starting again from scratch, I think we could proceed a little faster. Digging out the foundation holes would still take time but, part-way through we realised that a knotted piece of string was a much better measuring tool for fixed distances than fumbing around with a small tape measure.

Weather permitting, we hope to get the hoops and ridge pole up tonight before we move to the challenge of constructing the doors!

Centred Design

According to this, my blog must be at the forefront of a design trend (for once!) http://bit.ly/9k6eT9

Sea Bass

Thanks to Paul and Rachael for the sea bass they gave us today. We put them on a bed of sliced onions, stuffed with thyme and peppercorns (blended in lemon juice and black beer), rubbed with salt and drizzled with olive oil. That was grilled and baked and served up when the skin was crispy and the aroma was irresistible accompanied by sliced pak choi and the onions it was cooked on.

Polytunnel Now!

The polytunnel has arrived. I've got eleven delivery items, including lengths of wood, steel hoops, a polythene cover and more. As well as instructions, First Tunnels helpfully throw in a book on polytunnels (The Polytunnel Handbook, which I first read from the library last year) and even a teabag. The helpful instruction is to make a cup of tea and thoroughly read the instructions.

Mind you, I think reading and planning is going to be at least a "3 mugs of coffee" endeavour! Still, preparation should make the actual construction easier; a slow start is better than a botched finish. Photos to follow, hopefully by early September.
