Really like Yorkshire as the landscape is full of rise and fall, unlike the pancake Essex or Norfolk. By the seaside is also nice.

Been cleaning the workshop out. Full of stuff and dust. Got rid of 3 black bags of rubbish and two recycle bags of rubbish this afternoon. Normally, I have one black bag for 2 to 3 weeks and maggots dropping everywhere. Sorry if you're having dinner, LOL! Truth be told. The rubbish bag was always on top of the water butt outside or the rats or squirrels will rip the bag apart.

If the weather is good tomorrow, we will go to Whipsnade Zoo.

Not much going on, but there is a new dahlia and I think it's called art nouveau

@Logan Hope you don't have sausages from supermarket X .. This health scare sounds ominous. It is reported that thousands have been infected with HEV..

From now on, all pork and chicken products go into the microwave for 5 minutes to 10, depending on the size and then roast, fry or whatever...

Does that make any difference, i thought that it doesn't matter how it's cooked. I cook sausages in frying pan and then freeze them. I cook them again when i take them out. I don't eat them, only hubby. I like to keep processed foods to a minimum, but he doesn't eat a lot.

Sausages are so thick and dense meat, so I prefer to fry them for a long them and now that I have a microwave, I tend to cook them for 5 minutes in there and then fry them again. Like you, don't like processed meat much, but when I get lazy, or when they are reduced, I will have them.

Good morning folks :)
Back from the beach :)
It is very, very warm, sunny and glorious (y). Bit breezy but it will help keep it a little cooler as it is expected to get quite hot:p
