Still, mild and very occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.
I slept well, but two afternoons spent furkling on hands and knees for walnuts haven't done my hips and back any favours. Had a row with the parental unit this morning.
The walnuts I brought in on Saturday need the husks removing and sorting as a fair few feel empty-ish. I'm the kind of person who lobs everything into the bag and then deals with it later as it's easier to keep track of where you've picked from that way. I told mum to wait on cleaning them as I've run out of cardboard trays to spread them out to dry on account of also having three trays full of apples and two trays full of tomatoes, and that I will pick up some extra ones when I go to Tesco on Wednesday. Daft biddy decided to get up early this morning to clean them, presenting me with a fait accompli. So I now have to go into town this afternoon to get another batch of trays (the nuts go mouldy very quickly if you don't spread them out to dry after removing the husks), and then I still have to sort through at least four kilos of nuts to look for the empty ones. Not to mention that the things I actually planned on doing today have gone south as a result. I know she means well, but aaaaaaaaaaargh!
Anyways, I have also made a big pot of minestrone soup for later, which I'm very much looking forward to.
It is also time for luncheon. Hopefully I'll feel less grumpy after.
