  1. Pork loin choppy things with mash, kale and tender stem
  2. I worked 12 hour night shifts for years ( admittedly it was 4 on 4 off ) when I was gaffer at a tanker company and I loved it, it’s been about 14 years since I’ve done nights and I don’t think you could pay me enough now to do them again. If you’re good at what you do there will always be work for you, when I rapped in the mechanic work my phone never stopped with job offers back on the tools, it’s been over 5 years now and I still get a call now and then i’d bit the bullet if they don’t give you what you want, there’s always work for grafters
  3. Nice little touch yesterday, give a grand for a corsa diesel, washed it, sold it for £1600, back on today setting up for a concrete pour tomorrow
  4. Spuds, carrots, leeks, turnip, shallots, mince beef, passata, thyme, salt, pepper, beef stock, veg stock and a bit of Malbec, 3 hours in the oven and my god it was lovely
  5. I have done mate, I might watch a few later when I’ve got a few jobs done
  6. It’s because they get battered now, it’s rare to see a fox that makes it past 2 now, when I started out shooting there was a lot of old foxes around, all the rifle lads were out after game to make a few quid, if they seen foxes they would shoot them but wouldn’t go out looking for them, they’d just leave them for the dog lads, now some only shoot foxes and with all the NV, thermal, callers, means there’s very little skill required now, I took a lad out a bit ago and he couldn’t get his head around a lamp and calling them off my hand
  7. Good film that Mac, it make a change from the yank coyote videos where all they seem to do is arse end them at 20 yards
  8. Another chicken dinner, I’m done in now, I’ll give it an hour then see if I can be bothered to go out
  9. That’s a monster, I get a bit over excited with a 15lb fox, I’d be giddy as a kipper if I had that in the crosshairs
  10. View from my office today, last day of the season and I can’t say I’m not glad it’s over, it’s been a long one, the shooting was shocking today with the average age of the guns been about 70, I even joined in myself to get the numbers up a bit, the winds we have had have wrecked the place
  11. Chicken stir fry tonight, doesn’t look to clever but it tasted spot on, with a homemade soy, garlic and ginger sauce
  12. Few from this week, think it’s the same as what I had last week, think I need some new recipes Roast pork with mash and kale sea bass with tomato, peppers and courgette stew ( this is my new favourite thing to eat ) spag bol tonight
  13. First pour today under the watchful eye of the concrete gaffer, 10 cube in and probably another 7 or 8 that will hopefully be in on Wednesday
  14. This job just got a lot bigger, was meant to be a floor and fence, now drains and a muck area, I always like it when they add jobs, they get it cheaper because I’m already there and I make more money
  15. Drains all day today, started digging out for the concrete floor and found it was like digging through soup, turns out they have been washing the stables out into a normal drain, idiots
  16. When I first started out on my own, that would of been coming out with a hammer and chisel, I had hardly any gear and used to buy tools on my way to a job
  17. A beef and mushroom ragu tonight from yesterday’s roast beef, very nice
  18. It’s just a cheapo breaker, no problem with it being rough when you are a machine like me ( lol ) soon had that bit of concrete out, if it was a big lump the pecker would get an outing
  19. Started a concrete job today, horse sh*t and rats, lovely
  20. Another beef dinner today
  21. Saag chicken tonight, popping a bog roll in the fridge because it already feels like it’s burning it’s way out
  22. Spag Bol in this house tonight as well
  23. Quick chicken stir fry tonight, tasty
