Trabant fired up, back we go to the 1970's

Watch out for old men in flat caps riding bathtubs down hill. They seem to think that's amusing, I saw a documentary about it once.

Still haven't started treatment ! Even a Carrier Pigeon could have walked from Swindon in that time ! I'm waiting for a phone call from my doctor .

I was going to eat my breakfast outside but there was dew on my bench.

You often see a lot of young children doing that with mother' s having to wipe their faces afterwards !

I'm outside sitting in the sunshine looking at sheep.
I'm aslo looking at my lemon tree wondering how I am going to use even half of those lemons if they all ripen together!

Lemon marmalade of course, but also preserved lemons, lemon drizzle cake, lemon curd, candied peel...

 

[Reynard]

Bushed after a morning's furkling up of weeds and moving them to a compost heap that is growing exponentially.

About to scarf some sausage rolls for lunch.

Will have a kitchen afternoon as I need to bake some bread and sort out tonight's supper (spanakopita)

 

[MikeG]

....... sort out tonight's supper (spanakopita)

Flaky pastry: good!

Spinach: what on earth are you thinking?

A few days ago, I installed a water butt for rain water directed from the house roof. I did this as I was using 25 litres of water every night on my plants. On a water meter, this could prove expensive.... Hence, the water butt. The rain on Saturday night filled it, all 150 litres . Used about 30 litres last night. Probably the same tonight. For free!

Flaky pastry: good!

Spinach: what on earth are you thinking?

Puff pastry actually. I *should* be using filo, but found half a pack of puff in the freezer.

I happen to rather like spinach. It's even better when mixed with feta and onions.

 

[MikeG]

.......I happen to rather like spinach.

You're just saying that. No-one likes spinach really.

It's only edible when mixed with feta and onions.

I fixed that for you.

I've got my tablets . They say they can make you feel drowzzzzzzzz.

I think my NHS account must be over drawn.

 

[Reynard]

The tiger bread in the oven is looking (and smelling) rather promising...

Off to the kitchen to start chopping and frying onions.
