That is splendid as far as it goes, Darling, but the Cellar (la cave, c’est moi for present purposes) requires a tad more detail.

Shepherd’s pie, garlicky baked tomatoes and creamed spinach here.

We chose 3 items from the Tapas menu as starters, so shared a cheese board from The Cheese Factor which had 6 different cheeses, crackers butter, grapes, greenery, chutney & olives wivvit. There was a platter of Spanish charcuterie, with olives, greenery & a balsamic type dressing. I shared a bowl of whitebait with DiL, as The Lad doesn’t eat fish that actually looks like fish…

After a very long pause, I had chicken Cubano, which was chicken, smoked bacon & salad on an open-faced sandwich with homemade coleslaw & a few chips.

That definitely gets the Cellarly seal of approval, dear Chatelaine. Hurrah!

I love them, but rarely have them. These were proper ones & of a decent size.

I have fired-up the Quattro & Candles.

I hope that the cat doesn’t throw up again…

The current batch appear to be defective, at least in the matter of the feline digestive tract;- )
Sigh.

I appear to have been ‘batch’ sleeping today, with 2 x 3 hours being achieved.

So far I have eaten yoghurt & fruit, with a cheese & ham toasted sandwich next on the list.

We are making a leek-and-potato soup. It is a collaborative enterprise…

Back to the hive, safe and sound. Interesting journey home - we ran over a rat* and saw, separately, 7 owls a-hunting. Grandbee is thriving and Poodle is looking forward to her Spring holiday with us, at the end of the month.

Rattus norvegicus or Rattus rattus?

Rattus norvegicus, I think. It was big (before it was squished). We saw a toad crossing the road, too. It should still be alive as we didn’t squish it and the road was quiet.

Rattuses are minging and our car is suitably lethal.

Apples and pears are calling. Best nights, Cellarites,
