  1. Got a lot of time on my hands at the minute so I made myself saag chicken, followed my muzzy mates recipe using dry spices and roasting the garlic, I can honestly say it’s better than any takeaway I’ve had did Mrs Stav chicken and leek creamy thing, she liked it
  2. Hahaha Teesside TinTin, git up lad it’s like reality tv for good folks of the boro

    Viz

    Love Viz, when I was a kid my mam would never let me have it but when me and my brother stayed at my nannas on a Saturday night she would always buy me it when we took the dog to the shop on Sunday morning for the papers, she always used to say “ don’t tell your mam” I’m sure she knew but when I was 10 it was a lovely naughty little secret between me and my nanna
  5. Mushroom ragu with a good glug of port because it’s Christmas
  6. That’s me finished until I find something to do in January, sorted the water problem out and managed to get get a flow rate of about 15 litres per minute by reducing the tank outlet size, still can’t really see the benefit of it for what it’s cost, but as long as it’s working that will do for me
  7. I was meant to be finished for the year yesterday but I had a call from a mate saying the water system he’d fitted into a stable block wasn’t working properly and the ball valve in the tank wasn’t working and it was overflowing. So I went and had a look, turns out the outlet for the tank goes back into the inlet ( they thought it would give them more pressure ) all that’s happening is when everything is full, it’s pushing water back up the outlet into the tank and overflowing, this whole system achieves nothing so I don’t know what they want me to do about it without a pump being fitted t
  8. Tried a garlic and thyme poached chicken recipe tonight, I made a gravy from the poaching liquid, it was absolutely lovely, and I’ve got enough gravy to freeze when it’s cooled
  9. That looks mint, I like to think I could still ride the sh*t out of that, but in reality I’d probably ( no definitely) fall off it in spectacular fashion now
  10. As always after a Sunday roast we’re having Monday stroganoff and very nice it was too, I’m managing to get more Dijon mustard in every time without Mrs Stav complaining
  11. Little bit of roast beef today
  12. No, I’ll just run the sthil saw along the edge when it’s gone off and let the grass go up to it, it’s just a free job this, at a mate’s bungalow he’s doing up to sell, we had enough left from a job so we thought we’d chuck it down here just to tidy it up
  13. Felt like a toad in the hole night, so that’s what we had
  14. Gate made and fitted, 50 meters of wire fence up and half a dozen cherry blossom trees in, that’s me done here until the new year
  15. Think this place could be my retirement job, just loads of little jobs, nobody bothering me, just left to get on with it
  16. Chicken stroganoff tonight and it was bloody lovely
  17. Just me and Mrs Stav this year, I’ve had a house full for the past 7 years, not sure how I feel about not having anyone this year, because she’s going to want to talk to me, if I’m the only other person in the house
  18. Miserable day to be feeding the flying chickens, the state of it up here I could do with swapping them for ducks
  19. I wouldn’t of put these in if they’d be sitting in wet soil but with it being built up and the soil is from next to the river Tees so it’s really good quality and free draining, they should be fine
  20. No fish in it yet, I’m trying to convince them not to put koi in it, it would be perfect for trout, it goes from 6” at one end to almost 7’ deep at the other and it’s got a constant fresh water inlet, it would be criminal not to put trout in it
