If nobody minds, I think I'll go back into the garden and continue reading my book. I only popped into the kitchen to get a glass of Shloer.

I appear to have appeared in Bristol. It's a little beer outing. And it's just about time for a little beer.

Warm, still and sort of sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Not the best night's sleep, but hey ho...

I had a bit of a kitchen morning to deal with the whole salmon that I bought on yellow sticker for just over £12 on Saturday. The ladies on the fish counter had filleted it, but not very well - hardly surprising considering they were run off their feet. My friend took half a side yesterday, and the other half of that is in the fridge ready to cook tomorrow. The other side, half is now in the freezer, and the rest is being turned into gravlax.

Still managed to get another 250g of flesh off the bones (the whole fish was in the bag), and that's now in a tupperware in the fridge. The bones, the head and the tail are simmering away in a pan with carrot, onion, celery, garlic, tarragon and pepper. I'll strain that later, and use the stock and the aforementioned trimmings to make salmon, potato and sweetcorn chowder.

I have also done a load of laundry.

Had a cheese and smoked sausage sandwich for luncheon, along with an orange, half a mango and two

My younger son's first real job was on a fish farm so getting whole salmon from time to time was no novelty and even better was free. In my diving days when we passed the local farm the guys there used to sometimes lob a few over to our boat.

After the "Rain Boat" left this morning it turned into a lovely sunny day. Strong cold wind tho'.
Got a load of kindling chopped and then sat in a sheltered corner watching the birds.
Lots of house sparrows, blackbirds and thrushes, even a couple of goldfinch appeared. There are two small colonies of them locally and they sometimes stray as far as my garden.

That's definitely not to be sniffed at.

As a former angler - and a friend of an angler - I'm more familiar with whole trout.

My local Lidl has put a set of parcel lockers where the cycle stands used to be. I’m going to have to check if they’ve put better ones somewhere else, just to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I don’t fancy my chances. I normally walk there, as it’s so stupidly close, but it’s still annoying.

Bit of a drastic way of drying them.
