[Jordonf9]

Work this weekend

Finishing this now. Been a bit since I saddle stitched. Off in quite a few stitches but meh….only doing cuz it's a leather patch.

Been off the grid for a couple of days. Back to civilisation (or at least a reliable mobile network).

These are from today's hike. Fairly gentle ascent from 400 to about 800m over sea level, to reach a cabin built in 1923 up by a high mountain lake.

My IHxViberg Smokejumpers served me well. Like @tmg  said once, they're living the dream.

Hope you're both enjoying our nation's capital. @Max Power

Now if you wouldn't mind going up the Shard and taking a 360 degrees photo? It would save me the trip 

Loving the photos so far!

@Max Power  How did you like the tate museum?  Also did go inside ST Paul's Cathedral? Stop by Rivet & Hide before you go home. Have a great time.

Another day, another dollar. She's coming along nicely…..

[Max Power]

Thank you all. Yes, we went inside st. Pauls, its lovely and reminded us a lot of st. Peter in rome. The tate gallery was fantastic too, way too much for just one day.

^ I enjoy being a tourist in London far more than I enjoyed the two years I lived there.

Yesterday was the last day of my holiday in south western Norway. Went out on a boat for a late night fish. Beautiful evening and some decent fishing. Scored a couple of small redfish, a smallish cod, they all went back. Then got two saight (pictured) and a mackerel. The saight got cut into cutlets, boiled and eaten on flatbread with butter, black pepper and parsley. The mackerel got baked with ginger and lime. Back to the grind tomorrow [emoji29]

I think we would call those Saithe or Pollock.  I'm off to Looe in Cornwall this weekend to try and bag a few….

[neph93]

They are called Sei in Norway. But, yes I've seen both Saithe or Seight in English. As far as I can tell Pollock are a close relation as are Coley.

Been thinking about where to take you fishing btw…

[Giles]

Keep thinking…..

[Giles]

From Wiki:

Saithe or Pollachius virens, is a species of marine fish in the Pollachius genus. Together with Pollachius pollachius it is generally referred to in the U.S. as pollock. Other names include the Boston blue (separate from bluefish), coalfish/coley, and saithe in the UK.

So I think in the UK we would actually call it coley or coalfish.  I'll be fishing for Pollachius pollachius this coming week end…

[neph93]

Fishing in Saltraumen, which you can see from my house, I've seen people bring up Sei over a meter long and weighing over 10kg. Not very attractive when cooked, but tastes great.
