MIL still with us. At this rate she is going to last longer than my wife's two sisters as I'm likely to kill them.

How many foils, epees and sabres do you require? Trebuchet delivery easily arranged.

Morning .
I discovered that our little monster had killed a small fledgling this morning . . I growled at him but I don't think he understood .

He just thinks you're one hell of a godawful cat, and ergo he has to exert himself to contribute to the household.

I think there might be a queue.

I'll let y'all know when I'm frying next...

Talking of fish things, my nephew is going to pick up haddock and chips for me for 6pm tonight. It'll feel odd eating it indoors and without a gull keeping me company.

Cool, grey and rather blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept ok, but feel rather bleurgh. Hey ho. But I have done some things in the kitchen this morning, and I have untangled some of the rather clumsy writing I did yesterday evening. There is a big difference between getting ideas down onto paper (well, a computer screen, but YKWIM) and fine tuning something to a readable state.

The green wheelie bin was emptied early doors, and is ready to have a whole load of nettles shipped into it.

I shall be doing some gardening this afternoon. The tomato plants I bought last week are looking good and are ready to be potted on. Will also need to sort out some kind of wigwam for the runner beans. I couldn't resist buying a tray of plants on the market.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.

I grow mine up a wigwam of plastic coated 6ft poles.I used to use canes.

I've gone outside for mine. I do have some netting for when they have flowered

Hope you have a mushroom.

I know mushrooms grow in dark places but in socks Should have changed his socks more often.

Two slices of wholemeal toast for luncheon, one with chicken liver pate, the other with vintage Cornish cheddar, plus an orange, some strawberries and two

Davidstow cheese??

I use hazel withies for beans. All I need to do is go out the back of the garden and cut some from the hedge.

Used to grow veg on a reasonable scale, but it's just mum and me, and what to do with the inevitable glut. I just keep it small these days, with a few tomato plants, some beans and the odd courgette sometimes. Plus various planters of herbs.

Yep, that's the one.

I use the Tesco own brand extra-mature mostly - it's actually surprisingly good, and I kind of feel embarrassed calling it "cooking cheddar". But I'm a sucker for a really good piece of cheese.

Not sure about commenting further in case I get into trouble. You do know that a sock mushroom is a wooden dome to keep the hole open for darning?
Being a wartime child I learned at an early age to darn my own socks and since my mother was a seamstress and dressmaker I was taught the proper way to do all sorts of garment repairs.

Seems like a good way of getting revenge on nettles...

I'll have a look out for that, although I've probably already tried it - most cheeses find their way into my fridge at some point. Either Waitrose or the Saturday farmer's market will be the best bet I think, as Ely doesn't have a cheesemonger, never mind a good one...
