This morning Ady and I left the four kids still in bed with breakfast all laid out for them and went down to the larder. First thing we did some more sausage making – definitely got the hang of that now :). We did some dicing, mincing, weighing out and bagging up. Then we cleaned the larder and then went to the hall for some more theory.
This proved to be rather a waste of time as Claire monopolised Barry the butcher and it was all rather pointless with lots of the group going outside for multiple fag breaks and lots of sitting around. We then broke for lunch.
Ady and I dashed up to the croft with Bonnie and had lunch with Davies and Scarlett who had had a nice morning with Jack and Maisie. We all went down to the hall for the last hour or so which was useful. Ady went off to see Chris while Neil and I collected all the meat from the larder and tried to identify and price it. We need to do some more work on that but it is all now in the freezer and we have a meeting tomorrow evening to thrash out some details of the company.
Finally it was beer o’clock. I don’t think I’ve needed a drink at the end of a day that much since we arrived here, for some reason I found today really testing. I stayed for a beer while Ady went off with Chris to the croft. Ady came back, Davies, Scarlett and Jack went to the croft and Ady and I had a beer at the shop before coming home.
If it were not for my daily blogging resurrection I’d not have not have bothered today – I am wiped out and really fed up about not spending time with Julie who I miss so much and has been here on Rum for 2 days while I have been doing something else. 🙁
Hope you’ve managed a bit of rest and socialisation now xxx
