Schrodie has just come in soaking wet !
He gave me a little warning meow to let me know he was coming and to prepare for the wetness . He enjoyed being rubbed down with his towel .

May be a day to get the pump out.

It's extremely wet and windy here. Still insisted on doing my pre breakfast three mile brisk walk. Got very wetMostly due to being splashed by cars passing on the road.

I still felt alive and refreshed afterwards though. I must be one of the few that thrive in bad weather. Nice hot shower followed by a hot bowl of porridge and sitting down now for work while my umbrella drips dry in the sink.

For those wishing to do LeJog the Berriedale Braes new road is open. Going north the horrible steep hairpin bend has been straightened a bit and should be a lot safer.

I had forgotten what damp cottonduck was like until this morning.

Raining and blowing a hoolie here chez Casa Reynard.

This morning, I have made tabbouleh, stewed some plums and applied paint to stuff.

And something has triggered my allergies - My eyes are well itchy, my nose keeps dribbling and I can't stop sneezing.

Today's recipe is roasted vegetables with Mozzarella and pasta. The pasta is going to be oodles. I only need a small quantity of Mozzarella. I tried to look it up on tinternet, but I am left confusled.

Currently the cheese is in a sealed bag with fluid - whey? How do I keep the rest of the cheese fresh? Do I keep the fluid and put it back in that in a bowl?

Just drain the cheese and pop what you don't need in a small tupperware with a tight-fitting lid. Mozzarella is very moist as a result of being bagged up with its whey, so even when drained, it won't dry out very quickly.

On its own though, Mozzarella hasn't got over much in the way of flavour (unless you go for buffalo or smoked), so you will need to add lots of seasoning. Pesto is good for that.

Oh, and watch out for the cheese strings. You may be wanting knitting needles

Oh! I thought that Mozzarella was a strong cheese. There is plenty of veg, onions and tomatoes to give it some flavour. I will add the stronger versions to my Ocado list, thank you for your warning.

In other news, I have just spent this month's Bremium Pond Prize. I have purchased a lightweight spake and ford, and some new hand tools. I gave my neighbour some help in his front garden last weekend. I needed to use his giant spade, and was very surprised how lightweight it was, so bought similar ones (slightly shorter) to replace my extremely heavy ones bought during the last century.

Mozzarrella is the mild and gooey stuff that's put on top of pizza. I usually pair it with extra mature cheddar, parmesan or gran padano if putting it with pasta.

Anyways, luncheon would be a good idea right now...
