Morning all. Granola gobbled. Not really. The phrase just seemed to roll off the tongue. One doesn’t gobble up THG’s very fine homemade granola. One savours it. Ya shouldn’t gobble your food anyway. You were told that as a kid.
Another fine day in prospect and indeed I am going to try my hand at some painting. Only a bit of primer though. Not fine art. Not even using the watercolour set, easel and posh cotton paper I bought as a project during lockdown but have never had out of the box. One day…
THG alerted me to the location of the masking tape which is a strong indication that I should use said decorating consumable when performing the task. Shouldn’t take me too long. Want to get two coats down this morning but see how it goze innit.
In other news I ordered some food grade lubricant for the apple press. Gotta look after your tools. It had a successful first outing of the season yesterday but the plan is to go full on cider making the weekend after next. A team of experts is being assembled. It is a fair bit of work and a job for at least two persons. That weekend is also when we sample the cider made last year. Our first attempt. Fingers crossed. Apaz Phil Clark has a treeful going spare to add to the fun/workload. I’m sure in times gone by the farmer would have thrown a party for all the helpers once all the apples were safely gathered, crushed and pressed.
My diary for today is totes clear. It does have the usual “go swimming” entry just before lunch but last night I got a text message from Total Fitness saying they were temporarily closed due to a power outage. Can’t find any more info on it and there is nowt online. You’d have thought they would at least have changed their answerphone message with details.
