Happy New yearNew Years Day I believe. I'm too drunk to know really.Down to the last two open bottles of whisky. One is definitely an aquired taste, very peaty with a peppery after taste and pretty hot at the back of the throat. The other, easy drinking and not too much of a killer at 40% proof.
Of course I did the chickens. Not very cold with a light wind which picked up in the last half hour before I left. Due for 50mph gusts again tomorrow.
We got out onto the allotments. We had smoked salmon for tea.View attachment 4018172 I bought a couple of packets half price at the local supermarket.
Mow at one of the large compost piles. I broke open the bottom edge a bit.

It's quite a sever case of "Oh look there's Henry, Sylph and Tull" at the moment. I think I saw Tull crouch for Henry. My glasses don't work well past a certain distance.

I must get in this fruit bush patch and get the rest of the geotextile cloth dug out. It's become a favoured shelter spotfor the chickens and with a bit of assistance they get in there and thin the undergrowth out.

Once the wind picked up it was back to the coop run and then off to roost.

Anyway, about the cake. I'm going to make another one. Eldests husband and I finished it off in bowls of custard after dinner. I fed them this evening; meatballs and pasta. Very nice it was to. I've got this tomato sauce bit more or less sorted. We discovered that the cake went down very nicely if one had imbibed the same amount of liquid whisky that went in the cake, 250 ml in this case. Completely sorted that slightly doughy taste.
Eldest isn't keen on the cake but she's doesn't drink whisky. She's driving.
Best wishes to you all for the New Year.
