  1. Few from this week, 1st, night out with a few from my shoot, monkfish starter, then posh steak and ale pie, Bit of rump steak pork Sunday dinner Toad in the hole and wagyu burger with garlic and black pepper wedges
  2. One of the best curry’s imo, sometimes people make it too sweet trying to cool it down, don’t fear the chilli, hot and sour is the way
  3. Still on with the driveway edging today, said to the bloke you need to trim everything back, he said ok but I’ll come and show you how much to take off, that’s it, what an absolute fu*king moron, the sooner I’m away from here the better
  4. Curb in today for a gravel driveway, customer is out now changing his mind as usual
  5. Mates got himself another do’er up’er so as it was a wet day I went and started taking it back to brick, I do like smashing sh*t up
  6. Back part finished today before the rain started, now just got to turn the front into a lawn, somehow, it would be a lot easier if I could get a 100 ton of topsoil dropped off
  7. First section levelled ( ish ) and seeded, it’s still a bit wet and these heavy showers we keep getting aren’t helping
  8. Grim job on this week, got about a acre of ruff land to prep for grass, very wet, working with some tree company ( Wykham ) I thought I worked hard, theses lads put me to shame
  9. I don’t put bait out for roe but what I have found is they really like wheat especially when it’s got an aniseed flavouring on, the buggers batter my pheasant feeders around my shoot
  10. Pot roast beef today, cream mash, garlic and thyme roast spuds, homemade gravy and yorkie puds, went old school with lard instead of oil today, it made a massive difference
  11. Chicken and chorizo pasta with proper garlic bread
  12. Send them my way, If you need a second opinion
  13. Homemade chicken Kiev, rapped in prosciutto, covered in panko breadcrumbs ( I should of cut it open as it was stuffed with parsley garlic butter) griddled asparagus and thyme roast new spuds
  14. Cottage pie with carrots and braised cavolo nero
  15. All the way to Manchester to fit two new manhole covers inside a school, the only reason was they couldn’t lift them, turns out there’s nothing of any interest in there
  16. All 6 together ready to be lifted tomorrow, hopefully I won’t be here, get measured up now see if it fits because 36 grand is a big mistake if it doesn’t fit
  17. Got in from work, missus had her mother drop her a Sunday dinner over ( leg of mince ) nothing for Stav, so I went through the cupboard and fridge and came up with a chicken curry, I was a couple of things missing but it was good enough for me
  18. Oak finished, I said I’d give them a hand putting them together tomorrow because it’s bloody heavy
  19. I’ve always found it the other way round, the ones that have more to lose tend not too argue ( still won’t make you a brew) and pay but the ones that play on the same field as me try their luck and want money off, if they don’t ask and the job has gone well I might give a bit back, if you ask then you pay the invoice, I’m doing a bit for a multimillionaire now and he’s a bit of an odd character but if I give him an invoice he pays it while I’m there and his missus brings me cake
  20. Redoing all the oak that I did a week or so ago, the bloke wasn’t happy with the colour, I was going to say no but it’s 3 day’s money in a shed out the weather, I’ll finish it Sunday and bung a few quid on the bill for out of hours work
  21. Looks a good size munty buck that
  22. Just labouring for my mate today, apparently I’m the most expensive labourer in the land
