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.

Went to the market today. 800 gram squid, bought one for dinner

Taiwanese spelled correctly makes think you might be Skynet playing with our minds.

When you ask if he’s the living Moses, do you mean he’s dreamy?

Very kinky, Bob!

We’ve been getting storm after storm since the end of year. Forrests broken, roads collapsed, mudslides, lots of towns flooded from overflowing rivers, some riverside ones up to houses’ first floors. One night it was quite something, several hours with winds sustainably over 150kmh where we were, over 200 in other places. It should end by the weekend, but there’s another one coming tomorrow.
