sitting outside in the sun, drinking copious amounts of beer and eating a nice home made curry.

It is, but I'd kill for a Chinese takeaway right now. Singapore chow mein FTW, and a veritable ****load of hot starters

I've discovered a number of homemade curries during lockdown, having a bit more time to experiment. Butter Chicken, Katsu Curry and tonight I'm having a go at Aloo Gobi. Next week Aloo Gohst. My naans have improved a lot too.

If the wife was feeling curry it would be a spinach and chickpea with Brown basmati rice and fresh flatbread.

bahahahahaaaa. this turned into a curry recipe thread.
the idea was to tell the simple things in life at the moment e.g. 'life is' taking the kids out for a walk and then having a family meal.. you get the idea. things that make you think this is what life is all about, those little moments that make it all worthwhile, especially with what is going on in the world.

Life is...
a newly acquired copy of Frank Marino - Juggernaut on vinyl (to replace my worn out copy) which has been US and RCM cleaned, a pint of beer and the rest of my vinyl replay system blasting in my ears.
now just to find a mint copy of Baker Gurvitz Army - Elysian Encounter at a decent price.

So --- what is the feeling on riding during the new lockdown ? Are we supposed to not travel outside our local area except for work or education ?! I you ride out alone and don't mix with anybody (apart from filling up with petrol when you wear gloves, full face helmet and visor ) is that going to be acceptable or make you liable to be fined ?!

I can argue myself to a standstill with that question.
The riding part is not in the spirit of "essential journeys" apart from work, education, shopping etc. However, riding is inherently dangerous and I'd hate to potentially tie up emergency services and a hospital bed because I thought my riding was more important than other people's safety.
I suppose I've answered my own thoughts; I won't ride for pleasure and since I grocery shop in the car I guess I won't be riding at all. :(

The guidance is 'essential' travel only, but on the other hand you are also allowed to travel locally for exercise.
I tend to use mine (if not commuting) once a month to do chore runs, whether it is picking up click and collect orders or doing a small shop. I may take the more interesting route there, but I wouldn't go out on a dedicated ride just for pleasure. Simply due to the inherent risk that comes with 2 wheels, and the weather this time of year it's probably best not to risk it.
Life is what you make it. Enjoy what makes you happy, make the most of the time you have and try to give yourself things to look forward to.

It’s what we do with it that counts.

nope i found an A&R 77 in my drawer that i put there a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away and to my surprise i could still get a new stylus for it from ESCo so i got the Paratrace which turned out to be a lovely music maker, not tonally true but very musical.
my new phono stage is a Parks Audio Puffin (http://parksaudiollc.com/) and sort of pizzez in the face of 'true analogue' as its an A-D/D-A with jiggery pokery going on in the digital realm which reduces scratches etc.etc but still sounds very analogue at the output. ok it still has faults but so does everything unless you want to spend Łkk and even then depends on your ears and audio flavour. i have not tried any of the AT's with the Puffin but i doubt that it would be a good match as the Puffin is very midband orientated.

Naah, if I tried that I'd either be locked up for murder or stabbed by a jealous husband :D
Maybe we should start a new thread on what you would do if you knew it really was your last day. If the doctors said at 9am that you would be dead by this time tomorrow and there was nothing they could do, what would you do?? (apart from making sure your will and life insurance were up to date - that's boring)

listening to some records my mum and dad bought (Gene Pitney at moment) remembering the new year parties with the house full of friends and family :-)
cheese, pickle and ham cocktail sticks, salmon sarnies, crisps, sausage rolls etc.etc and getting pizzed at 8+ :-)

I have my mum & dad's old records, and three that still get played are 'Portrait of Joan Baez,' Roy Orbison's 'In Dreams' album and an Everly Brothers lp.
All are mono, the vinyl is about 300g ;) and despite the YEARS of abuse from crappy, blunt old stylii, they still play well and the production (such as it was in those 4-track studio, mono mastering days) is still amazing. Sometimes I think the move to stereo was a bad idea :)
And now I want some cheese & pickled onion cocktail sticks, and a slice of pork pie with Branston :D
