Hi guys, last day of lockdown so I thought I'd try out making some of those Norfolk Rusks......The smell from the oven is delicious.
Only 10 minutes now till done. Hope they are as nice as they smell

Shame we couldn't put a freeze on the mooring fees, Broads Tolls etc

There is plenty worse than not being able to use ones boat though.

Light at the end of the tunnel soon we hope.

I'm in a cooking mood as well. Watching Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey again a dish caught my eye, a Cambodian pork "curry". I put curry in inverted commas as its not really a hot dish. Problem is its not a commercially available curry paste so, like him, I'd need to make it from scratch which throws up the quandary of where can I get fresh turmeric and galangal I've never seen it in any of the local supermarkets, maybe in the main Chinese supermarket in Edinburgh but that's virtually unreachable due to road closures for the tram line extension.

Online specialist deli might be your best bet Steve

A chef has to check what he has produced . . . . that's my excuse anyway

You know me Rod I didn't see the result all I knew was, that Rotherham won 3-0 away

On that point,the Smoggies are at Carrow Road on Saturday live on TV

Rumour has it ,the Boro team are staying in the Holiday Inn and the manager is staying in an Old Folks Home

I think the opposition have, as has happened at previous clubs, fathomed his style of football and adjusted their own to compete/beat. Mind you - I'd much rather be in our current league position than the one we were in when he took over.
