You had foil when you were a kid cooking spuds on a camp fire? Posh! You can’t beat a burnt outer skin.
What have you been doing today?

Currently at a fireworks display at Dunsfold
A bit of a hunter/gatherer/grower gastro day today. Parasol mushroom on toast for elevensies - foraged on this mornings dog walk, home made potato and leek soup for lunch (both from the plot of mott) and pork roast with my best ever crackling for dinner made with my own home grown spuds and carrots.
Took Susie up the vets today for an ultrasound. Found a few possible nasties so samples taken and sent off. Will take up to ten days to come back before deciding on the next course of action (if any). I have to now collect poo samples to be sent off too. She looks in a right sorry state - she had a bald spot where she was shaved last week for the blood sample, a shaved leg where the catheter was in today and shaved both sides where the ultrasound was used. Still, saved a few bob at the groomers.

Our border collie, has been fine this year, despite the racket from fireworks. In previous years, she's gone into total panic, after the first few bangs, if they continue, looking for somewhere to hide from the noise. The past couple of years, that was the built-in wardrobe. This time, she just tucked herself in the corner, on her bed. No problem with her going out, once it had quiet.
Being a working dog, Susie's never been really bothered by bangs. She used to watch fireworks and bark at them although now having lost 90% of her hearing, she doesn’t even bother to get up for a look these days.
Maybe it's an age thing, we have two cats, one of which has always panicked and hid when the fireworks start, this year she's been quite relaxed about them.
Maybe. Her much older half-sister, and extremely clever, would insist on going out to see the fireworks. Her older step-brother, would chase up and down the garden, barking at them. This one, used to ignore the first few bangs, but if it continued she would panic, but this year, and for the first time, no actual panic.
I’ve been making cantuccini. Italian biscuits with almonds, just great for dipping in my coffee.
Collecting shìt samples from my dog and putting it in a tube, half the size of a smartie tube, to be sent off for examination. One a day. Keeping the tubes in a container inside another container in my fridge! Two down, one to go.
Off to the classic car show in Birmingham in a minute. Just waiting for my mate to pick me up and we'll probably stop in our usual cafe up there and have one of their 'belly buster' breakfasts.
