Pasta bake sauce wouldn't really work in a shtf come to think of it. Replaced the mini sunscreen in my emergency grab bag. Went out on the bike, second ride of the year...

Cheers, will bear that in mind

Question to the veg growers. I always worried that cats might do their business in my veg patch, which is a raised bed. So I covered it with a net on a frame. But that was a real pain.

The pot has a hanging loop and I have a titanium chain for that, in case I run out of gas. You just need 3 long sticks. One Mini Trangia One Trang...

Finally almost used up all my old pasta which was all slightly over best before date. Have a load of space now. Bought 2 bags of wholewheat, Jan 2026 expiry, chucked them to the back of the cupboard. Will get a few more over the next week. Am now in the habit of having pasta more often, so will get ...

Mostly just doing jobs on the house. Got 4 new windows coming this month. Had one repaired. Got pointing done in the loft, side walls are only single brick! I only got it partially done, where there was big gaps. Everything seems good up there apart from a bit of condensation on one of the purlins....
