I have lots planned, but it depends how I feel. I almost passed out in St Affrique yesterday. I have been building in the garden and it has really taken it out of me, and a lack of sleep has left me drained.
So....
Friday...
Get all the firewood out of the car from yesterdays 9 hour shopping trip and stack it in the cellar. We managed to fit a side of pork into the car too, so I will be sharpening my butchering knives and getting to work.
Put a couple of pieces of pork into dry cure to make more bacon for the winter.
Chicken Tortilla's for tea. We buy the tortilla's but the filling is all our own.
Saturday....
Get up early to watch the ladies Rugby World Cup. The Red Roses are on a 26 game winning streak and are a pleasure to watch. They have 3 fantastic strike runners who can run the ball in from anywhere on the pitch. If you have not watched them then you should. England are playing France and they are pretty evenly matched although England have shaded it in the last quarter in the last few meetings.
Building in the garden afterwards. I have a short section of wall to build, I cast the foundation on Wednesday, and 3 steps up to the garden to top off with natural stone. I'll get done what I can then a trip to the dump.
We will roast a Pork Joint for tea but not sure what to do with it. We have run out of Bisto Powder so it will not be a gravy dinner. Possibly Ratatouille as we still have peppers, aubergines, onions and courgettes from the garden. After 3 salad meals this week I need a big plate of something meaty.
Sunday...
I have a couple of options. Garlic Planting or Building. Probably building as I dressed the stone to use on Wednesday and the weather is dry and warm.
I am cooking a Pork Vindaloo for tea with Fried Basmati Rice. After getting the side of Pork home on Thursday we are struggling to find space for it in the 2 freezers which are jam packed with mainly meat, hence another pork meal. Or I could do Barbecued Spare Ribs.
Or then again I could do nothing all weekend depending on how I feel. There is always paperwork to do. We have had lots to do coming in this week from the Bank and both the UK and French Tax departments.
Have a good one everybody.
