Battery Woes



This blog was and is for my benefit and is a diary.
Here's a really boring entry.

Put a new starter battery in the camper.
Neglect had killed the last one and I need to regularly discharge and charge both batteries.
Charged the leisure battery.
6 weeks from now I need to do it again.
If I keep to this I won't have to keep buying batteries.
I've spent hundreds in the last 5 years.
Well at £70 a kick it's not difficult.
Having the Merc means I have to be careful to use the camper.
Next week it will be the first time used since Sept 09

I did warn you about the boredom quotient

Congee Magic


I know this is supposed to be about noodles but ...
Here's a discovery from hanging out in SE Asian grocers.
Instant rice porridge/congee/jook/jok.
I wanted to try it in Hong Kong but was too wary of the idea of savoury rice gruel and the establishments purveying it.
Bit too ethnic on both counts.
Idiot.
This stuff is terrific.
Not really in the survey so 15/10.
The winner so far, but 89p.
