Heard this morning about Keith Floyd dying last night. Very sad news. I've got all his cookery books and his style of cooking resonated with me many years ago and I feel I've lost an old friend.
He came to Newbury a couple of years ago and performed at the Corn Exchange in his one-man show. He looked very old and frail, but mentally very alert and he kept the audience enthralled for two hours.
I watched the Channel Four documentary and it felt to me like an obituary - all very apt.

New holding tank ordered
I bought Jane Morris realising I would at some point need to replace the holding tank. I think the tank is the original one. It's made of aluminium. Every book and magazine article I've read says 'aluminium shouldn't be used'. So why did Sealine fit one back in 1990?
I've chosen a plastic tank from Tek-Tanks. Very nice people too. I've checked and double-checked the size I need and I've ordered a new vent, hoses and a tank level gauge. The existing vent piping is too small so I need to fit a new vent and wider diameter hoses.
It look like I'll have to fit the new tank myself. I've asked a few people to help me but, funnily enough, they're all too busy. I'm off to buy overalls and Marigolds. Wish me luck.
