I'm not much of a cook, but we do get nice fresh mussels, and I try to give it a bash.

This was before the carnage began. All looks very orderly at this point...

Wishing everyone a wonderful day, filled with love, laughter and happiness.
Looks very satisfying. How did you prepare it? Cooked, grilled, steamed?

Oh, nothing special - fried off the eggplant, added the tomato/herb mix to make a sauce, I'd already cleaned the mussels and rinsed a few times in in fresh water, and so cooked them in the sauce and that was that - the remaining seawater in them (not much after a couple of rinses) gives great flavour: poor mussels - what a way to go. Served up with some spelt sourdough.

Actually came up alright, to my surprise.

Oh btw - I bought some NAD Viso HP50's and Air Max's for abit of fun, here are my thoughts in Tom's thread: https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/my-current-audio-systems.31269/post-740395

Long story short - returning both - I didn't care for the Max's, and the NAD's had build quality problems (ear pads disintegrated after less than 15 hours use).

Maybe it is nothing special, but
A) I always pay attention to the presentation of the dish. You always eat with your eyes first. I was amazed with the neat simplicity of your dish.
B) You inspired me to cook something nice!

Thanks for the update on the HP50's. Already replied.

We drove from Croydon in the Black Car and parked in a back road..Went into the Theatre and saw the Beatles..all the girls were screaming so loud...you could not hear The Beatles Singing at all..Madness really but that was the how it was in the mid 60's...Still happens with some Bands....
When we came out we had forgotten which road we parked it in...Soon found it though, as it did Stick out by a mile...even back then it was an old banger...

Is this an original ticket?

I have some Cliff Richard Programmes and other Concert Memorybrillia..Looked in all the obviously places as if that was our ticket it should be there...Found a 45 rpm record that I really dislike though..
wonder whose finger prints they are all over the record!

Absent the heat these last few days have felt like Summer just settled in. Even the flowers seem to audibly gasp they can finally be watered enough to bloom.
