Always Have A Flat Piece Of Oak Handy
I don’t have access to short lengths of greenheart cutting sticks from his state-of-the-art, made-in-Glasgow Grieg guillotine that my father used to use as padding to stop a hammer damaging softer woods.

Serial Cooking – Chicken, Spinach And Tomato Stew
This is another recipe from Lindsey Bareham in The Times.
It was certainly worth cooking.

Train Departure Information On The Go!

I also use it on a train, when I’m making a connection, to find out from which platform my next train is leaving. Or not as the case may be!
So simple and it works for every station and route in the country. To prove that, I’ve just found out that the 08:55 from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh is on time.
Who needs all the hassle of downloading an app for every train company you might need?
