| Spring greens, April 2012 |
In other news, the rest of the day passed by quite pleasantly. Cake was baked and eaten, supper was BBQ'd. I had harvested a huge trug of spinach and spring cabbage the evening before (smug? moi?), so we had homegrown veggies for supper two nights in a row.
The Royal Mail found the missing item of post (after two weeks). Just as well, as it contained hard-earned payments. The running Husband finished first in his age group (snigger). The Boxers saw Barney and Polo on their evening walk. Barney is a gentle older boy golden retriever with very tired legs, Polo is a bearded collie unfriendly devil dog. She is only slightly better behaved than Mutley, though, who is determined to pick a fight with my big big dog. I tried to pacify him with a dog treat and he growled at me. 'Quite right' I said. 'Don't take food from strangers'.
The neighbours have been away and I have been cat sitting. They are very sweet pussy-cats, one boy and one girl. The little boy disappeared for ten days earlier this year, feared dead. He dragged himself home, though, with a broken pelvis; and a substantial amount of money later, he is completely recovered, walking fine, and is a darling little black cat. Sometimes you just can't put a price on doing the right thing. And I always get yummy fudge when the neighbours come back from Cornwall!
And that was the weekend that was. Hope your weekend was lots of fun, too.
