I know.

But it can also mean walnut...

"Walnuts are edible nuts which have a wrinkled shape and a hard round shell that is light brown in colour."

Sounds a bit like our clo...

You'd know my skin is not wrinkled

Well, I'm just in the house from the garden And, gosh, it's 6:15pm already! The days are certainly getting longer. Or, as we might say in this part of Ireland: "There's a fine wee stretch on the evenings!"

Blithering Zoom starting in 45 minutes, so I'm defrosting a portion of homemade beef curry which, after reheating, will go very nicely on a bed of boiled rice for tonight's dinner.

If I survive, I'll see you on the other side of Zoom.

Sorry to hear you missed out. It's things like that have me arriving at market just after opening so I have first chance at what's available that day.

Because of Zoom this afternoon, I didn't get as much garden work done today as I would have liked to...

But the gap in the hedge is certainly starting to get noticeable.

You'll see a lot of cut branches in the foreground that I'll need to gather up and burn eventually.

And the view of the distant hills is a bit clearer in this photograph.

Looking good Marty

Tonight were having for dinner

Chicken Scampi Spaghetti

with lemon and ciabatta croutons

 

 

[Marty]

Two chocolate sponges fresh from the oven, that will be sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream tomorrow. For a friend's birthday on Monday, who has a sweet tooth, and is totally addicted to chocolate.
