A mild, occasionally sunny albeit very blustery day here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept well. This morning was spent in the company of a friend and her dogs, walking around the community orchard and local nature reserve. We normally meet up Wednesdays, but she's been invited to a Cake Day do. We just had a good chinwag and set the world to rights, and the doggos enjoyed the gravy bones that Auntie Reynard keeps in her pockets.
Had a lovely luncheon of a salami & smoked cheese sandwich, an apple, a quarter of an avocado that was left over from last night's supper, and the obligatory
This afternoon was a gardening afternoon. The dead branch that got detached from my curly willow is now cut up into sections and safely in the garage out of the weather. Much more wood there than I originally thought. And the ivy clippings have been dumped on one of my "small wood" heaps among the trees - those get inhabited by things like hedgehogs and interesting insects. I prefer biodiversity over neatness.
Have also made arrangements to be interviewed by a couple of potential candidates for the position of Chief SuPURRvisor at the weekend. The cats are local to me, so worth a try.
Now sat down with a and a slice of banoffee tart.

had to look that one up. are you a welder?
"Too much galvi" likely refers to metal fume fever, a flu-like illness caused by inhaling fumes from welding galvanized steel, or the release of lead from old, corroded galvanized pipes

I love to cook, but I also hate wasting food.
So I like to be creative with what I have in, and also cook according to what needs using up first. Aside from a couple of sausages (earmarked for tomorrow's luncheon), I have no leftovers, so cooking from scratch tonight. Except for the soup, as I still have some of that left.

Hate to say it but you're wrong, Galvanising is a Zinc coating not Lead. As someone who worked in a Brass* Foundry as a 'Freehand Greensand Moulder' for 7 years and poured my own boxes I was well aware of what we called a blast of fumes and as we made quite thin ornamental pieces** the Brass had to be got very hot in order that it didn't 'miss-run' i.e not completely fill the cavity but solidify before getting to the edges.
People who Braze also know this affliction and it's not very pieasant.
*Brass is an alloy of Copper and Zinc
** We made fire Irons, decorative embellishment for Iron fire grates, fenders for fires, spandrels for clock faces, handles for furniture and thousands of Brass decorative plaques for pubs (ladies, gents, beer from the wood etc) and Brass ornaments amongst many other things like Brassware for restored steam engines. If it was cast in Brass we'd make it (or replicas of it)
