The flat earth anti 5G mob out and about in town earlier , how do people fall for this rot ? They got exposed to more natural radiation standing handing out leaflets than any mast.

Turned out a nice day after a damp looking start so got out on trike. Strange traffic pattern in that there were long periods of nothing and then small convoys but vehicles well spaced out at least a couple of hundred yards apart. Not the usual tailgating of touroid with locals trying to persuade them to pull over to let them past.
Temp was up to 10C so stopped to look at the view and sparse wildlife for a while.
Back home did some work on my weed patch and then sat in the porch I built on to my top shed. This is a nice sheltered sun trap so very pleasant. Must get my wood stove and billy can up for tea or coffee making next.

It's been a lovely and sunny day here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept quite well, then spent the morning doing the remaining errands that I ran out of time for yesterday. Wasn't entirely successful - the art shop had neither the paper nor the glue I wanted, and Wilkinsons STILL isn't stocking any Felix in store. I can order online though and do a click & collect. But I did pick up another ream of paper for the printer, and lucked out in Iceland with a box of 40 Felix AGAIL pouches still at the old price.

Noticed that the butcher on the market place has wild rabbit in stock, as well as partridge, mutton and pig trotters. Didn't bite, will wait till I've done a grocery shop on Sunday and then go back. I kind of fancy a rabbit casserole.

Had a lovely ham, cheese & chutney sandwich for luncheon, along with a pear, a tangerine and two

Then spent the afternoon hauling in the firewood I cut on Sunday. It's now stacked up on the drive waiting to be turned into logs. I also took the chance to pick up and dump a lot of small wood that's snapped off the trees over the winter, and walk around the boundary to see what wood the drainage board left after they trimmed the trees just before Christmas. There's a good bit of dead stuff that I can haul in and cut up, as it's good to go.

Having a quiet evening, just finished a and a Min Spy.

But they taste soggy and soak up all the milk!!

Mix them with breadcrumbs and use for crunchy coatings on chicken and fish.

I like rabbit and we ate lots as living in the country there were plenty of them. I used snares from a very early age and latterly used an air rifle but both have been legislated out. My father had a .410 shotgun which got game of all sorts as he was an expert poacher. Hardly ever see live rabbits here and nobody sells them as carcasses. My wildlife pal has given me the occasional one but he reckons them only fit for dog food.

I've actually got some hot sauce flavoured crisps that have been relegated to the same duty. Picked them up super cheap on YS, but as is, they're just far too hot and I don't want to bin them. Fortunately didn't buy that much.

The ones the butcher is selling have been ferreted.

I'm rather partial to a bit of rabbit, as are Mesdames Poppy & Lexi. I don't think £7.99 for a rabbit that's been skinned, gutted and jointed is particularly expensive.

Anyways, time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

As kids we enjoyed rabbit......I can still recall the taste.

I grew up in a house under the final approach to Manchester Airport, and it wasn't unknown for people to have bits of plane land in their garden.

I thought the big white glob fell in the woods behind our house but I didn't find anything, only the ice on the patio. I wonder if there is still something out there in the woods ...

Every so often my mum use to cook us rabbit. Quite like it though Mrs 73 it’s a no no , so don’t bother just for me. Not had any for years though a pub in York we use to do into did a nice rabbit pie. So use to have that but that’s been a good few years now too.

Elder Son has just sent me a picture of him in his new voluntary fire brigade uniform, ready for his basic training this week.

I am most exceptionally proud of him.

A lovely Belgian lady who just happens to be my Brother In Laws mum cooked me rabbit stew on several occasions Usually when we called in to see her before we went off to the old Victoria ground to watch Stoke FC on a Saturday.
Unfortunately Rochelle passed away a two weeks ago in the residential home in which she had lived for eight years aged ninety eight. Despite her sight failing she as she had always done lived her life to the full .
I will be at her funeral next Monday
