I’d of gone for roasted balsamic tomatoes, give you a bit of sauce and the balsamic would go with the fish and the spuds
-
Pan fried sea bass with garlic, thyme and rosemary roasted jersey royals and griddled asparagus, it was nice but I think it should of had roasted cherry vine tomatoes, instead of the asparagus Mrs Stav disagrees
-
Picked up some fresh gnocchi earlier, so done some of it with a tomato and chorizo sauce, it was bloody lovely
-
It wasn’t interested at all in the call, just mousing about on the cut grass
-
Just shot my furthest fox with the .223, 416 yards, think I’ll have a couple of hours kip now, see if anything is about at first light
-
don’t really watch many films, but watched this this afternoon and really enjoyed it, that lad who plays spanner is excellent and if this is what you were into in the early 90’s we all knew a spanner, he is a mirror image of my mate Neil when we were in our teens

View from my office and also my bed for the night, 3 silage bails up
-
Chicken, chilli, bell pepper pasta, I’m now off to sleep in a field with my rifle, because it’s too hot to be in bed with Mrs Stav
-
I’m having a day off today because once the mercury passes 28 I don’t do work, so I’m in with the pensioners again
-
Got him some Biscotti, it was a toss up between that or Farm Gas but I’d never heard of that, anyway, he was over the moon when he opened it so it should give the mother-in-law some peace for a bit
-
Got everything done today ready for the patio to go down, sold the paving I took up to next door for 60 quid so I’m going to pop to a mates and get the father-in-law a little something to ease his pains
-
Easy one this, no drainage, nothing to break out, just strip the grass off, bit of stone and lay the patio
-
Have another one on me
-
Another cheeky little one to liven up your morning, good times, before life got in the way
-
This one ready for the paving to go down, I’ve had to put 8 ton of stone in, half of that is because the original patio was laid on a bit of sharp with a dusting of cement, amateurs. On to dig out the next one tomorrow
-
I’d go vito, at least the majority of faults with them are DPF or injectors, not your engine falling to bits
-
Getting somewhere today, only problem is the paving they have chosen won’t be here until next Tuesday, so I’ve got another to prep tomorrow for the same paving and someone across the road from here also wants a price but they need to have a think about what they want because that garden is on a slope
-
Yeah, the belt breaks down and blocks the strainer, starving the top end of oil, my mate is seeing a couple a month in his garage, they are charging engines, no rebuilds, very expensive when they go wrong
-
I’ve seen a lot of wet belt failures, at least with a chain you get a warning, with the wet belt they just strip teeth, all the manufacturers are recommending you only use their oil because too many people are using the wrong oil, even garages servicing them, I would stay away from a wet belt
-
This is alright, I get the impression it could be proper hangover gear if you sink a few
-
Best way, work to live not live to work

The 2.0d is a decent engine, it’s basically the same engine they fit in all the range and in the mini I think, but it suffers with the same timing chain issues as the 3.0d, so good service history is a must
-
They are decent if you are looking at them after about 2014 the 3.0d is a thirsty beast and don’t even look at the 4.4 V8, you need to over service them because they are known for timing chain issues

I have always wanted a Volvo xc60, looked for one a while ago but ended up buying a Tiguan, to be fair that turned out to be a cracking car
