Monday; the start of the week - I was hoping for a reasonably quiet week as I am on holiday next week and am hoping that it is a case of "there is no point in him starting this if he is not going to be round to finish it". This is highly unlikely but I can always hope.
30% and I are out to see Frankie Boyle this evening so I'm sure it will be an evening of subtle, wry comedy - or perhaps not.
The evening out meant that a concerted effort was put in to walking T&M at lunch time. I did the usual route which skirts the perimeter of the Free Range Egg Farm. The bird sheds are about 200 yards or more away from the fields where we walk and it is very rare that the Hens ever stray anywhere near that far.
A few of them do and I'm guessing they get caught out by the sudden darkening now its Autumn and then roost in the hedges rather than wander back across dark fields. This is not a good idea as the local foxes patrol these hedges and a free ranger is an easy meal. We regularly see the remnants of these Brave Girls who go MIA.
Mind you - it's brilliant if you are T&M as the smallest fragment of chicken carcass, however "ripe" is a far better toy than a tennis ball or a stick. They found a leg today complete with foot and were hysterical; charging around the fields chasing each other and squabbling over the body part......
............. I hope it's nothing to do with yesterday's "incident" when Marauder tried to befriend one through the fence.........

2 Questions..
ReplyDeleteHow was the fouly mouthed younger brother of Susan ?
How's the bacon ?
The bacon is going along quite nicely. 30% quite fancies some Black Bacon which is basically Green Bacon (un-smoked) that is coated in Black Treacle or Molasses and left to mature for a week or so. So we are probably going to try that and also a Maple Syrup version too. More on that at the end of the week .... and the end of the dry cure stage.
ReplyDeleteFrankie was very good, very crude, very black and took no prisoners. If you were looking for a sophisticated narrative performance then you should look elsewhere. It was brilliant, vehement and extreme but brilliant. He claims this is his last tour as, I think, he feels that once you are over 40 you have "lost your stand up edge". If he stands by this decision then I'd say "see him while you have the chance". If one was cautious of sitting near the front for Al Murray sit in another County for Frankie
