Was that done by a cover rubbing on it because of the wind?

Looks like no other takers, so if you still want it, take it! Let me know if you need any help.

I’ll help you with what you need. Takes a few minutes to set up the poll but it’s easy on a laptop. I also think it’ll get a better response being done by you than me, so thank you!

Sorry to hear about all that, Clive.

I am going to give running BOTM a break, at least for a few months. If someone is up for doing it, now’s the time. I hope whoever does it has fun.

Looks very nice!

How does one do that?

Perfect weather to go out in a leather jacket and just be out. Went up to the hill cafe for lunch, on the way there a road was partially washed out for a few meters, no issue really but impassable for cars. Then stopped for a coffee and a chat with my friends at the Dainese shop, then got groceries for dinner and now home. Must have been over 20° today, perfect but every field is still flooded and they say it’s going to rain again next week. Didn’t stop for pictures as I was soaking in the weather on the bike.

I have no idea what that is, but post pictures of what you end up doing!

First proper blue skies I’ve seen since December. Am now enjoying being home with the windows open and Spring beginning to spring, and will take the bike out for lunch today.

They’re fast and look good on rough roads. You’ll enjoy it!

Tou can eat them raw, no problem. But the flavour is very different, less intense and more ocean. This one ended up sauted with onion and garlic and a chilly, white wine, then an heirloom tomato for a while to cook it properly, and parsley, a good mix with linguini, and a squeeze of lemon before serving. Tasted amazing, but the credit goes for the squid. The nice flavour and texture is what you get from buying line caught adult seafood that lived a good life while wild, instead of eating whale blubber like Marcel!

More or less. You either cook it very gently for long, or hard and fast, it goes soft then chewy and them soft again.

No, you have to clean and cook them first.
