Stavross

Mrs Stav is away with work for a couple of days so just me to feed made myself a corned beef and potato pie, with hasselback potatoes and a few carrots also treated myself to one of my favourite cheap Pinot

Right, here goes, bear with me chicken breast marinated in harissa, honey, garlic and lemon juice overnight before being cooked in a griddle pan, with a pepper, tomato and shallot stew and basmati rice the picture doesn’t do it justice, it was delicious, I think it would of been just as good without the rice and more of the stew

Foundation in under the watchful eye of the concrete gaffer thats a mental foundation for a wall, you could build a house off it

Bloody bricky turned up, said he wanted the corner stepping to save him a load of cuts ( tw*t ) also got the patio marked out and stoned up

Some pork loin choppy type things, from the eat now or die shelf, with new spuds and cavolo nero

Water pipe repaired and the foundation is dug out for the wall, found the gas main again, luckily just went over it

Toad in da hole tonight

Fu*k my life, it was gas last week now it’s the bloody water, at least I can fix this one myself

Chicken today, about ready for a nap now

That’s like one of them magic eye pictures, flick your screen up and down and it proper stands out

Burgers tonight, with garlic wedges, coleslaw and lemon and black pepper mayo

Meatballs for me again tonight, using up the second half of what I made earlier in the week, bit of chilli this time, spicy

Can start to see where we are going with it now, I like jobs like this, where we can do what we want and almost make it up as we go along

Making a bit of progress now after a slow start, getting levels in and beds, seen the lads down the road that are working on the viaduct, we can have as much back fill as we want, so that’s saved a few quid

Idiots have just said I’m getting a bill, I wouldn’t of thought so, it was under 50mm of concrete, domestic should be a minimum of 375mm and the main coming in should be 7500mm, always good to know your spec when dealing with these loons
