Ripping open a cat proof(?) pouch of cat food last night (evidence on the cat barn floor this morning) and, after his breakfast, (which was NOT withheld) he followed me into the paddock chicken run. I was giving the four chooks a crumbled up slice of bread so …..
Sitting in front of the fire eating ribollita and soda bread and watching daughter on a webinar. They are talking about the film Brave Girls dealing with arranged marriage and female education in a rural Muslim Indian community.
Too wet for anything but baking and making sloe gin (but NOT drinking it for several months).
Even tastier because I wasn’t the cook.
Haricot beans, runner beans, onions, garlic, leeks, potatoes, carrots, parsnips,Swiss chard, tromboncino, tomatoes and chilli pepper. The only ingredients from a packet are some rice noodles. And, even better, there’s plenty more for tomorrow.
Tai chi outdoors got scuppered by the rain before we finished 108 moves.
The cats took a different approach
Well not quite singing but I stood in the rain and talked by telephone to mum as we looked at each other through her window.
I told mum about a wedding that daughter and son in law attended at the weekend. Just 15 people at the ceremony and all of them needed to wear masks. Quite surreal. Mum is grateful to be protected from all the craziness outside – and protected, too, from the rain!
