Stormy Weather

[cloughie]

Sounds a cracking place, Caliban Just round the corner from my last place of full-time employment - I wonder what this resto replaces

ams - The wonder of these boards I was expecting some erudite brass choice and we get a throwback to cali's scran!

Oh dear. Sewin is indeed sea trout from West Wales, it cannot be described as anything else because it's a sort of appellation d'origine contrôlée fish. It would be a trades description offence to sell sewin as common sea trout and vice versa, so it's not a case of foisting Welsh language onto unsuspecting Herefordistanians! Plus, of course, restaurants can charge more for such a magnificent and flavoursome fish with a Welsh pedigree.

Poisson AOC, mise en packing en Aberystwyth, presumably, then. "Foisting" (Llanfoisting?!). I am not any kind of Herefodistanian! I just happen for the time being to be here! The restaurant didn't charge more for it than it would otherwise have done, as it was part of a set menu. As I wrote, my surprise was to be told about it by a Frenchman in Welsh! "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres" an' all that, with no obvious concern in this instance to establish a recognisable distinction between French Gaul and Welsh Wales! OK! The fish was wonderful, anyway, which is surely all that matters, though what the lawyers would have made of what sounded like "suin(g)" I cannot imagine...

At the moment, its rather good outside. My body clock on a Saturday, never lets me have too much of a lay-in. I had almost two hours!!

Their wallets would have given a hopeful little twitch, surely...?

There's a caption on our friends messageboard, R3OK, whicxh made me and MrsBBM chuckle. A cat looking at a book and the cat sayinmg, "There's no in formation abiut killing birds!". The book in question, was 'To Kill a Mocking Bird!'.

I woke up suddenly at 6!

Going to grab a couple more hours though, before seeing who wins the 9:30 'Symphonic Stakes' from Hamburg

Weather for the trip to Sussex tomorrow looking terrific! Cloudless all day, if the BBC weatherfolk are to be believed....

Talking of BBC folk, who is the woman 'Loppa' who reads the news at the weekend on R3? Is she not the worst newsreader ever? She sounds bored or half asleep or worse...

[BBMmk2]

What a pity we wont be meeting up!! Sweet dreams Cali!

Possibly; I didn't look. I just overheard a lot of lawyerly conversation. Clearly I was enjoying the French cooked Welsh sewin too much to notice the twitching or otherwise of their wallets...

Beautiful sunny day here,been out all morning on the park with the grandkids,absolutely knackered now and still the dog to walk.

[Petrushka]

Very sunny day here too but there is a strong wind (yet again) that completely ruins it.

[greenilex]

It's lovely here. Went down to the Bargate in response to a political summons - happy to see all peaceful.Then I bought some nice little veggie quiches for the family.

East or West Sussex, and would that include another gourmet luncheon I wonder? If so, please post the usual report and menu to make us all jealous.
Not so nice today, started well, bright blue and sunny but then the wind increased and it's quite cloudy now and only just over 15° (compared to 22° yesterday)

[BBMmk2]

Rather similar down here too, Anna. Ah well.
