Power to the potato, Italian style. Might be harder to replicate here.

Huh. Maybe sugar beets would do better.
Wind doesn't seem to cut yields at all, I have about 40 miles of wind farms north of me.
 
It's been a warm day here chez Casa Reynard, with a mix of sunshine and the odd shower.

Slept well for once - managed seven hours and feel all the better for it. Sill in sleep deficit, but hopefully things are improving. Made myself a :cuppa: as it was still early, and took it back to bed. Sat with the laptop and did some writing. At a more decent hour, I swapped the jim jams for a hoodie and joggers and cleared all the chores.

Had a lovely luncheon of a ham & mustard sandwich, a packet of crisps, a homemade granola bar and my two :cuppa: pot of tea.

Then it was into more presentable clothing, and off in the car to Cambridge (well, Fen Ditton actually) to do the paperwork with the funeral director. The chap I've been dealing with is off sick, so had a lovely lady helping me instead - and funnily enough, she lives in the next village along from me. Anyways, forms all filled in, everything is paid for, and now that can move ahead. So that's one less headache.

Back home through some pretty shitty traffic on the A10, but got in just in time to make a :cuppa: and sit down to watch Deadliest Catch.

Supper was a reprise of last night's sausage & bean casserole with wholegrain cous cous.

Then I threw together a pear & almond crumble, and I just had a portion of that, along with some cream on top. I was going to make a pear & ginger crumble, but the new box of cornflour (which I use to toss the fruit in, and which thickens the juices) is in the utility room behind the garage, and I couldn't be bothered to go back out. So used ground almonds (and a little almond extract) to absorb the excess juices from the fruit. And bloody lovely it was too! :hungry:

A quiet remainder of the evening is planned. And I need another :cuppa:
