Aha.
You might not believe, but we the “krauts” from München
had Bratwurst, Kraut (but not this Sauerkraut), green beans and backed potatoes yesterday.
I dont like the usual Sauerkraut, to “sour”.
So I prepare cabbage by myself.
Fresh of course, cut into fine stripes and fried (very slow until its getting vitreous)
in olive oil and adding some fried onions at last.
You may add caraway.
Much better that the Sauerkraut from tins.
The olive oil makes the taste!
And you can add small pieces of fried bacon!!!

I made scones (American scones anyway) a few weeks ago. I made biscuits (more like your scones) about a week ago. I also made sausage and gravy to eat on them. A southern classic

Made cornbread before, not tried American scones (made or bought)…perhaps the next thing to try

Was cutting some branches yesterday.
Those were really causing shade to my and neighbours house.
The “Old man from the wood” on a quite high ladder (6m).
My daughter below with a rope to give the cut branch the “right” direction were to come down.
(What “fun” would have been those crashed in neighbours house!)
Very successful. No damage.
Great team we are!
The next will be to cut a whole tree.
But I will wait till the leaves had been fallen.
Not so much weight.
Using “Salami tactic” one part after the other.
This is a must in developed properties here. All too narrow,

Reminds me of when I bought my current house a couple of years ago. My dad came round to help chop a couple of trees down and I was the one holding the rope to make sure the branches fell the right way!

That’s a perfect symbiosis.
Cutting the tree I will do this with my “pensioner buddy”.
Know him since we studied together. (45 years ago)
More than a perfect team.

This last weekend: sorting out my UK house.
Prior weekend: leaving a cruise across Atlantic.
Prior weekend: chucking all my US specific stuff (chargers, etc) and boarding cruise.
Prior weekend: running away from Storm Dorian in Nova Scotia.
So I’m doing lots of moving around, I keep my Powercore II 6700 on my person so never a flat phone, and my travel bag the Powercore 10000 PD. If I get to a power socket I recharge them so I can spend long days charged.
UK is rather wet so everything has to fit underneath waterproofs.
Slept in 24 different beds in last 8 weeks. Heavily reliant on car chargers and universal wall chargers, all needing to be compact, light, reliable.
Things I have seen last 8 weeks:
- Pacific coast, about half of it.
- Columbia River Gorge. Wow.
- Salt Lake City “temple” and the ski resorts to its east. Mormons are… weird…
- Yellowstone. If you do one thing in life see the Grand Tetons. Yeah saw Ole’ Faithful.
- Montana (wow, I’d like to live there!)
- Mt Rushmore (boring!)
- Niagara Falls. Lovely if they demolished all the tourist stuff around it.
- Canada, about half of it - Ontaria, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, the bit not too far from USA.
- Nova Scotia
- Vermont (lovely)
- New York
- The full Atlantic sea. It was nice and horrible in equal measure.

Sounds like a ton of fun! I agree that the tourist stuff should be removed from Niagara Falls (and many other tourist sites).

Thanks, currently sleeping on an airbed on the floor as have no furniture and living off take-aways as no kitchen, but I have 35 years of experience of sleeping (not continuously) in tents so I’m perfectly happy. Sleeping on the floor does wonders for a man’s back!
Today, managed to get TV working. Friday was a highlight, got the Internet! Oh, to watch Youtube and not be downloading offline stuff when near a pub’s Wifi. Slowly getting replugged into 3rd world problems like buying stuff.
My perfect moment was ordering an Anker 3-1 cable in Montana. No sales tax.
