Well after starting my apprenticeship at 17, today is my last day of work before retirement. Big sesh with the boys at the Brekkie Creek hotel yesterday so sunglasses day today.

Only as associate member. It's Dutch ?

Just eaten one - the others are for when we have ice cream tomorrow...
Mincemeat (the Christmas variety) samosas.

Beef Rogan Josh, three different naan breads (keema, mushroom and Peshwari), a couple of samosas and Aloo Patta Gobi.
No rice - got to watch my weight.

Thinking of getting a gozney rockbox pizza oven and doing Indian/kebab style pizzas as part of my pop up restaurant business, you know it makes sense.?

Great idea if you are producing a few.
I'm doing another curry tomorrow - may make some stuffed parathas instead of the usual naans.

The Memsahib said "It's ok". I can't ask for anything more.

Sounds delicious ? 

Pizza.

 
The base was a dough made from 2 parts Chakki Atta to 1 part strong bread flour.
The sauce was a tomato base with garlic, pesto, oregano and paprika.
The topping was keema (lamb mince spiced with chilli, garam masala and cumin), chicken breast (marinated in Madras curry), mushrooms and onion fried in coconut oil.
It was, to quote Lister, desmegginglicious.
 

Been on anxiety medication since October, those that I speak to and see on here will know the difference it’s made to my life.
Booked my first holiday abroad since I was 16 ish in October, today had my first hypnotherapy appointment through Zoom from a Derby fan on Twitter who is a councillor and hypnotherapist, was a little sceptical about it all, but it was actually very good.
It’s not like you see on TV where they have you barking on stage like a dog, she runs you through past experiences in your head and asks you to visualise past events and places you in a 3rd person perspective. It’s hard to explain but I came off feeling strangle a little “high” if that makes sense, really relaxed and it’s quite bizarre. 
If you’re willing to embrace it and go with it, I can see it being quite rewarding, definitely will be continuing with it.

Cheers everyone. The one thing I really didn’t want was to spend today in hospital. It’s been tough as because of Coronavirus we are limited to one parent staying and the other is only allowed 2-7. 
She’s doing ok and is expected to make a full recovery, what happened on Tuesday has happened 4 times now (Tuesday was the 3rd) and they are finally acting on it. 
I managed to see my wife and daughter on my birthday, it was only for 5 hours but it could have quite easily have been for none. 
Thank you again to everyone, I just felt like I needed to vent yesterday to release a bit of frustration, disappointment, anger. 
This photo sums up our relationship to a tee. 

Buy, buy, buy, bye bye...

You was doing alright until you mentioned the cider. You tramp.
