Good Morning Guardians

Good morning Guardians. I tried for an Albers on Monday. No luck. I think I need to use Apple Pay or Google. I’m using Pay Pal. I do enjoy the excitement of trying though. And I admire pictures of them from behind my ipad. Here’s my K’roo which I never tire of carrying. Got some good rain last evening.

Thanks Steve, Musical Andy has some nice instrumentsI think he makes a reasonable living from selling them too
A pleasure Jeff![]()
Cool noggin there with your Barlow BobI have a small kuksa (and a larger one), what do you use that for, if you don't mind my asking?

I noticed Henderson's was on offer in the supermarket yesterday, but I'm glad I didn't buy a bottle, as it turned out I already had three in the cupboard!Mind you, the 'best before' date on them is still several years hence!
There is a 'money back guarantee' now! Are they joking?!

I received this one today, an SFO for a UK dealer, of rather obvious provenanceI reckon I could even guess who did that edge
Blade is only a fraction off-centre, not really noticeable. Fit and finish are decent, apart from the edge. Pull is VERY strong

Lovely stag
Thanks Steve.
YeahWhat are the covers ? Micarta
It's a smasher Steve )
You're in the club!You guys were giving me a slight case of swedge envy. So I did a little grinding this morning.
It came out well, simple job, just couldn't get the camera to focus quite right on the swedge. I'll get a couple more shots later for the food thread while I'm prepping some chili.

DefinitelyMy ex-girlfriend didn't like it, for some reason, but she's gone, and I have the DVD to watch anytime I want!

It's cold, wet, and dark here in not so sunny Yorkshire, and I thought some Mediterranean food might be just what the doctor orderedIt also gave me a chance to try out a new chilli product for Barrett, the King of Condiments
Barrett had sent me some delicious Chilli Crunch a while back, but my local chill shop have failed to get hold of any. The feller in the shop recommended something else though, which he said was his biggest seller. He did, however, give me dire warnings that I should only use the tiniest amount. I thought I'd add some to the patatas bravas, while I was frying the potatoes (which I'd also coated with smoked paprika, black pepper, and Tony Cachere's Louisiana Seasoning - Bam!
), and I added a bit more to the sauce. I'm certainly no asbestos mouth, but I think the bloke in the shop exaggerated. The jury is till out, but if it's any good, I'll pick you up a jar Barrett

I'd have to move house Barrett!
They KNOW nobody's going to take Henderson's back!
Yeah, I'm sure I will BarrettWhen I bought it, I thought I might use it for a future giveaway, but it's not up to snuff
