      • Morning all.

        Chicken for lunch today, so I need to get a move on if it's to be done in time.

        Mr Snoop deserves an award for gallantry. Guess who had the last almendrado? For breakfast, no less Very nice it was too.

        Weather today is quite a bit cooler. Bit windy too, it has to be said. Temperatures during the day will rise again during the week, back to scorchio, but night-times will be much cooler than the last few days. Phew.

        Right, better shake a leg. Lovely flowers, by the way, Rary.

        Have a great day, everyone. Sounds like you all should. Have to say, I'm a bit surprised there are any more greniers left to empty in France, Nicos.

                We’ve not had many around this year as our local farmer has had to have all 600 cows destroyed due to TB ( only 2 tested positive but they overwinter together in massive sheds) feel really,really sorry for him, but I guess that’s what can result from overcrowding.

                However - back to bites….we still get deer flies and they too give a nasty bite.
                Could be either tbh. We have both. Also alot of horses round here and deer. It got slapped so I didn't take alot of notice.

                That's so sad for the farmer.

                • Good morning all.
                  Its bright and its dry but it's just 14 degs.

                  Lovely flowers Rary and nice bit of colour.

                  Enjoy your trip to the car boot sale Nicos.

                  Snoop, wish I could pass on all the rain we have had.

                  Enjoy your get together this afternoon GF.

                  We have the annual rose festival taking place this weekend.
                  Yesterday was a washout but if the weather stays dry we will go in the afternoon.

                  Have a good dsy all.

                  And when your back stops aching,
                  And your hands begin to harden.
                  You will find yourself a partner,
                  In the glory of the garden.

                    Brilliant. Will you be using it? If so, I need some tips. Mr Snoop bought me a modern one (stove top) for a Christmas gift (my spur of the moment request, as I couldn't think of anything else). I have only used it once. I think I must be missing a trick.

                        I hope to be using it yes.
                        I think seasoning the cast iron is important- and the thickness of the batter….
                        I’m thinking of trying a savoury batter too at some point.
                        Looks like we’ll be getting our heads together on this!

                          • Good afternoon,dull but a bit clammy temperature away up at 16c, was at church this morning once back home had a quick bite then out for a walk with the dog, must have been a fair bit of rain through the night, I set up a water barrel yesterday and its more than a quarter full, which equates to about 30lt. now for clearing the autumn planted onions, they wont be good for storing but will try and get them used up as quick as possible, have an enjoyable day and 😊😊😊
                            it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

                              • Morning all.

                                So, last night's low was 14.2 ºC. Bliss. The house has cooled down and it's currently 17 ºC in my basement office. More bliss. It won't last, but I'm enjoying it for now. As is the dog, who's behaving as if she's half her age. Lovely to see.

                                On the cards for today: a minor amount of work and work-related stuff, brunch and, if I'm lucky, another afternoon nap. Could do with a bit more work to keep the bank manager happy, but you can't have it all.

                                Hope you enjoyed the rose festival, Bramble. Roses are Mr Snoop's favourite flower, especially yellow ones.

                                Have a great day, everyone.
