Warm, breezy and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.
I slept really well (goodness me, did I need that!) and have had a very productive morning. Done a load of laundry, and it's all hanging outside in the sunshine. All the shopping has been cleared up and put away. The YS "finest" meatballs are now simmering in the spicy tomato sauce I made yesterday, the chicken breasts and the pork steaks have been split up into bags and put in the freezer, and the bones from the chicken I cooked a week and a bit ago are simmering away with the jellied cooking juices from said chicken to make a batch of stock.
It's bin day tomorrow (delayed as a result of the Bank Holiday), and so the bones can be wrapped in paper later, after I've strained them from the stock and put in the green wheelie bin that's already sitting outside my gate. No black bag, there's hardly anything in it.
Have also backed up my writing. Made doubly sure I didn't accidentally delete stuff like I did with the last chapter. That caused no end of headaches trying to reconstruct the lost sections, so I am extra careful now. I usually (although not always) back stuff up every couple of days or so.
This afternoon I have to wash some stuff that needs recycling (meat trays, cat food pouches) and then I'm of a mind to head off on a bicycular foraging trip to check out a stand of hazel in a nearby hedgerow.
Anyways, it is time for luncheon.
before work.
