It's been a chilly, damp, grey, drizzly and generally rather unpleasant kind of day here chez Casa Reynard.
Slept reasonably well for once. Morning's chores included sorting out ingredients and hauling them from the utility room to the kitchen, and then moving more of the old firewood from the fence and into the garage. It's all large chunks, so I also spent half an hour splitting some of them. Mulberry is a right a*se to split. Other than the lower layer, which is wet / half rotten, the rest is nice and dry - and well-seasoned as it's been stacked there for at least five or six years.
Lovely luncheon of wholemeal toast, plus the last of the pate, the last of the truffle-infused brie, some fruit and a
Afternoon's jobs included topping off all the wood bins in the house, making a giant batch of muesli for the parental unit (although I shall certainly avail myself of that for porridge & flapjacks) and securing a deal for three stock car programmes, one of which is really rather rare, from a seller on the Bay of E. I have also done some writing and watched Antiques Road Trip.
I am now sat down with a
and a biskit.
