Happy Weekend / Bon Weekend / Penwythnos Hapus

Good afternoon all. Hope everyone’s weekend is a splendid and joyous affair. Mine is, I’m doing roast pork later. Just a couple of pictures-

Waiting to load Tesco Brillo pads in Madrid in the nineties. Got there early and chap kept shouting ‘ocho, ocho! maรฑana. Ocho. Maรฑana. Ocho!’ to an increasingly bewildered man and his son. They’d gone home by time we worked out he meant 8 in morning! This was only something like Dads 3rd or 4th trip abroad and my second (first for both of us was Germany).

Like me Dad has always enjoyed variety and in that job one week he could be delivering to Madrid the next he’s hauling logs off a Welsh mountain.

Have a great weekend one and all and thank you for watching my rambles.

CAB COOKING; A HEALTHY FORTIFYING LUNCH

Now I do love fruit and veg, but I've never been a huge fan of salads it has to be said, but recently I've started making my own and they are delicious. I think the key is the hot chicken, it makes the whole thing seem more meal like if you know what I mean. This would never win a prize as the healthiest salad in the world, but a salad with a few more calories than the norm is better than no salad and a bag of chips! This is a really filling lunch and I do sometimes have it for my tea, dinner if you're posh! It has a nice bite to it, a combination of the crispy salad stuffs and the tang of the sweetfire baby beetroot. The beauty of a salad is you can make it anyhow you please, add things or leave them out. I found this particular combination the tastiest for me. I've named it the Lady Michelle Chicken Salad, as it looks great and has a nice kick to it. ;-) Time taken - 15 minutes 1 baby gem lettuce 1 chicken breast, diced 3/4 small sweetfire baby beetroot Half a pepper ...

THE IMPORTANCE OF LIGHTS

As many of you will have seen there was a 130 car pile up in Kent yesterday. Many eyewitnesses mentioned the fact that despite there being thick fog people weren't using their lights. Many car drivers, and some truck drivers, just don't understand the importance of lights. I've had conversations with friends who were adamant that the only time to use lights was in the dark. This is utter rubbish. In fact I use my lights at all times. You can never be too visible. Its such a simple way to improve safety yet people have strange misconceptions about when to use lights. Lights should be on in ANY reduced visibility. And by lights I mean dipped headlights. Sidelights are for one thing and one thing only, parking. The thing that came across when talking about this was the belief that lights are just for the driver to see. I took the pictures above to illustrate the point that being seen is so important. In the third picture there is actually a car, level with the rear of my tra...
