& hot Caribbean jerk marinade for the bbq
Only 20 mins swim today. Didn’t have my contact lenses in and saw the attendants move the black bins that they put the lane markers in in place. They usually do this right at the end of the session so i got out. It was only after I’d put my specs on that I realised I still had 10 minutes but I had psychologically already checked out by then.
Afterwards, in the car park, I saw a small car with a woman in it smoking as she drove by. For some reason she just drove in and then straight out again. Thought it was very symbolic that her rear windscreen wiper was hanging limp.
Booked a taxi for 6 at 3.45pm on Friday to go to the Elton John gig at the showground. It was a bit of a struggle at first as Handsom Cabs say most taxi firms were fully booked for the event but “try DIscount’. Discount’s initial reaction was that they too were over subscribed. In fact they were rammed between 5.30 and 7pm. Ahah I said. We need to be there for 4pm. The benefits of a corporate hospitality ticket where the drinking starts early.
I wasn’t sure what time to book a return cab as the instructions were unclear re what time the bar closed so I called the Showground this morning. The answer is that there isn’t a closing time for the hospitality bar. It’s going to be dependent on how many hang around to spend cash. I’m going to book it for 11.30. We will have been at it long enough by then.
Quite a busy day sorting out an exec event in soho in July. few dozen invites sent out. It’s another warmun and moved into the living room again. Not complaining. Apparently there the nice weather is set to break just in time for the Elton gig on Friday. Ah well. Nothing that a pair of flipflops shorts and t shirt can’t sort.
Finished for now so got on with marinading the chicken for tonight’s bbq. From left to right it’s Newman’s Own sticky bbq marinade, Shannon’s Caribbean jerk marinade and then Caribbean jerk rub. Be afraid.
