Didn't have pork pie in the end. Had two slices of wholemeal toast, hoummus, the rest of last night's tomato and avocado salad, a couple of very fine tangerines and two mugs of tea.

Gonna head back out into the garden in a bit.

Not yet .

It doesn't seem like you're really trying, there...

A bit of an aside - when I did my PGCE, my final teaching practice was split between a Y1/2 class in Co Durham and a Y5 one in Brittany. The Co Durham kids were planning a party as their topic, with recipes and instructions and invitations for their writing. In our literacy lesson shared writing session when we were deciding what did we need to get or do in order to organise a party, pink wafers were pretty blooming high up on the list.

Right, that's my share of chainsaw wielding done for the day.

Time to brush the sawdust out of my hair, put clean jeans on and trot off to the Co-op for some milk. And a mosey in the YS cabinet.

 

[Reynard]

Co-op was a bust. Hardly anything in the cabinet, and a chap who I have seen do this a number of times before, took all the decent stuff before final reductions. What was left wasn't worth waiting on, so just bought some milk and came home.

Frustrating. The girls will, I am sad to say, have to do without prawns for their tea.

First reductions in the Co-op aren't worthwhile unless they have a lot of something to shift. The mark down simply brings the stuff down to the price of the same item in Tesco.

I am pleased to say that I am inundated with Goldfinches. They never stay, won't see them for months, but cheer me up when there about!

Petrol, or diesel?

How would any sane person know the price of things in Tesco?

Petrol, or diesel?

Neither very good for your diet.

I think by "extreme food mixer", I'll Have a Go meant "an extreme mixer of food" rather than "a mixer of extreme food".

Backfires from the latter would be best avoided.

Didn't Jeremy Clarkson build a V8-powered blender on Top Gear?

Yebbut I've never made any claims to my sanity - or lack thereof...

Homemade Gnocchi a la Sorrentina for supper.

Discovered that Madam Poppy likes Parmiggiano...

Going to have a in a bit. Need to decide whether to have a slice of apple frangipane tart with it, or to have some chocolate shortbread. Decisions, decisions...

Oh, OK........
