Group 7-day waking average?

[Barrowman]

Morning everyone, a wet and windy start here but a happy 5.4 for me earlier today.

Afternoon now - horrible weather as per everyone else. Wind is circa 30mph and rain is lashing down. Sea is churning about angrily. Windows were covered in salt first thing, nuisance as the window cleaner came on Tue, but the rain may wash em clean.

6.8 first thing. I must be thick, but it only dawned on me yesterday that if I really don't like this HCL I can switch to Manual Mode and reinstall the Libre app on my phone so I can actually hear the alarms. The present sensor runs out on Tuesday, so I'll see, but it subsequently dawned on me also that I am somewhat nervous of going back to full control! How daft is that after all these years?

Not doing anything much today. Have spent all morning wrestling with internet access, but a reboot of the router finally solved that. We only had this new fibre to the premises connected yesterday. I dunno, maybe the weather is somehow affecting it!

Hope your mum is OK @freesia do keep us updated.

Congrats to @Gwynn on the HS -

I’m trying something different tonight for tea, curry goat. Butcher grandson got it for me, they get it in occasionally and it doesn’t sell well, so he got it for free and gave me some. I’m marinating the goat as soon as I’m ready, I have to grind my own spices first to make the Jamaican curry powder.I will be serving it with rice and peas. I have made that before when I made jerk chicken. When I visited Jamaica many years ago I can’t remember curry goat on the menu at all, but I have had goat in Symi, Greece, it wasn’t curried but done in herbs and lots of lemon, it was delicious. Looking forward to it. I love trying out new recipes .

I have eaten curried goat in Jamaica and would have enjoyed it, except the butchers over there attack the goat with cleavers, consequently the curry was full of bone splinters and I spent the whole time picking them out of my mouth. Another time we had chicken pasties which were also full of bone! I love rice 'n peas tho!

~Stay safe in this awful weather everyone!

That seems to be the practice with curried goat. I’ve tried it a few times and it’s always been presented as if the poor goat had been attacked by an axe wielding manic.

This was all nicely diced up for me and pre packed. No bones in sight. It’s been no where near Jamaica, labelled Cumbrian goat! Full report tomorrow for you.

Thanks everyone for your wishes for mum. She's had fluid on her lungs for a few weeks and has been waiting for an outpatient appointment to get it drained. When she went to see the GP yesterday he sent her straight to hospital. They are hoping to do it Monday or Tuesday so fingers crossed.

@eggyg i've only tried goat curry once, in a restaurant in Porthleven. Delicious.

I am sure the Cumbrian goat meat will be absolutely delicious!
