Yes , Dunnock.
It’s quite a day, isn’t it?
Cheese, beetroot & onion* wiv a little mash for lunch. Cod fillet fer dinner.
*I saved the vinegar from a Baxters pickled beetroot jar, & added thinly sliced onion & some of the vacuum-packed beetroot 3 days ago.
It isn’t a ‘proper’ pickle as such, but nice, & fresh tasting.

FIsh pie. Haddock prawns onions mushrooms cooked in a white sauce and topped with puréed potato.
Lamb bits in the oven - a neck and a shank should give a decent amount of marrow to go with the meat for an unctuous rich stock when I hurl them into the pressure cooker later
Then the stock is strained into a jug for tomorrow
Any worthwhile meat gets picked for the stoo as well
Cheap but delicious food is what cellarati do well I think
I thought that you had done the lamb the other day, Twellsy?
Sigh
I think that I may be Dazed & Kungfused…
Quiet at the back there…

I intended to but no J meant I had to push it back a day or two till she comes today and can chop veg for the stock as I am not safe using knives
So the stock is done today and stoo tomorrow
Yes, intended to/ought to get abit mashed up here too.

Lamb roasted pan deglazed and hurled at the pressure cooker with carrot onion celery and bay leaves It will be a gorgeous stock for a stoo tomorrow
J bless her brought me a big bunch of tulips
So I now have tulips 2 bunches of a dozen daffs and white roses to enjoy
I am so lucky
And soon I will be helping C keep his thousands of daffs under control
He has 5 acres and planted a couple of hundred daffs per acre as a cash crop at the farmers’ market
The daffs have multiplied over 20 years so he needs help controlling them
Beaten with clubs? I’ve no sympathy at all. He should have passed…
Supper was rather good and enough veggie savoury rice for Friday is enfridged
This means J will help me pack for a rally on Friday
With her help I am not so likely to have a panic because I have forgotten something essential like underpinnings
You might notice the draught though… 
I have returned the shopping trolley under cover of darkness…

It’s a lovely day, just about warm enough for me to be in the garden.
[starts involved arguments wiv every other bird]
Wee birdies need sustenance to have arguments
Places a loaf of bacon butties beside our sparrer
Offers to cook bacon butties to order for other cellarati
One for me, please. Brown bread, English mustard

Anyone want stoo?
I have made rather too much…
Lamb stew?
I’d love to, but I’ve made a large amount of spicy prawns and courgettes. The freezer is your friend, Twellsy!
We had a rain-free and mild-weathered walk, this afternoon. Missed the Poodle, mind.

Patrick is going to the Doggy Hotel tonight, as Posh has an appointment at the Orsepiddle in the morning.
It was his Birthday last week, & she thinks that he will be ordering Room Service…
He has had chicken breast today, & was grunting at/talking to the Carer this afternoon. She didn’t know what he wanted, until Posh realised that Patrick knows that there are 2 in the packet, & he had only had one…
Poodle always looks gorgeous, Soo.

Proper Irish stew with all the meat picked off the neck and shank used for the stock and added in
Layers of spud carrot onion and meat and scented with fresh thyme
That sort of lamb stew…
