My boss is back so I get to go back to doing my real job Very busy today (Mrs jbj actually text asking if I was OK, which she never does because I'd stayed on so late) tomorrow will be the same, if not busier, then the kids come back on Thursday.

We're halfway through the final season. We've never jointly belly laughed at anything in the 15+ years we've been together since watching this. I know it was cancelled so there's no big wrap up but I hope there's some sort of "resolution".

Tomorrow is my last day of the school holidays! It's been great. There's been years where I've quite literally done nothing productive and regretted it but this year I've not had a single wasted day. - I was fortunate enough to visit France and Belgium to visit WW1 graveyards and battlefields...

How did I forget about Kenny Rogers!!!! This was a freebie and I still regret going. 15+ years later my pal and I still talk about how bad it was He did the Sunday afternoon legends slot at Glastonbury one year. My best pal watched it drunk, thought it was the best thing ever, bought 2 briefs...

My orange and black Asiatic lillies are almost gone but the day lillies and other stuff I planted around the bed are coming out now. The random daisy type things my wife bought from qvc are looking great too elsewhere and my buddleia is starting to flower purple, there's meant to be orange /...

We're at a holiday let with streaming channels for certain shows. Its right up my wife's street but i've grown become weirdly addicted (no pun since most of them are junkies) to Love After Lock Up.

UEFA have voted to boycott all FIFA competitions if Infantino's plan to sell the world cup off to one of trump's goes through. Good on them.

off the top of my head, Dexy's Midnight Runners at a festival. They sucked and were doing weird takes on their tunes to the point they'd almost finished Gino before I realised that's what they were playing. Kevin Rowlands was dressed up like some weird French mime artist too. It was just really...

I think I've been scammed :/ My brother bought us Bon Jovi tickets for Edinburgh. My mum wanted to come too as we'd seen them altogether years before but by that point they were sold out (last time they were here they were practically giving tickets away the week running up to it!). I used a...

Just remembered I've gone my own to see Ray Davies and Art Garfunkel too.

Schoolboy error. I was once offered freebies from a colleague to the Pet Shop Boys which I'm sure would have been awesome (the gig that is) but he was very weird in work, I didn't want to see what he was like in the wild. Going to gigs alone is fine. I went up and down to London in a day on my...

Looks good, I was just going to say getting some char on the peppers would be even better.

I forgot to take photos of the wraps we made with the leftovers :o We're up north(ISH) for the week and will be passing by that farm shop on the way home on Friday:)

Beef short ribs, sriracha and chimmichuri. Probably the best thing I've cooked on it yet! Absolute monster of a rib too - that's a large pasta bowl for reference !! .

Reverse seared cote de boeuf last night with chimmichuri and smashed potaties Absolutely amazing. Beef short ribs tonight
