Getting ready

It's a beautiful morning. It comes as quite a surprise. Last night was very wet. Once more a pond blocks up the way to the greenhouse & compost bin. Still the garden needed the rain. And I can feel content in the knowledge Basil Bush will have been well watered in.

The holiday is drawing nigh. I'm now on to the using-up-of-oddments-of-food stage. So today the Fox is going to do one of his famous Kipper & Egg Kedgerees. That will use up some eggs, cream & a half tin of tomatoes. Then tomorrow will be a turkey quiche probably to use up the last of some new potatoes, an egg & a half tin of sweetcorn. Finally on Tuesday we will have a prawn stir fry which will use up all manner of assorted veg eg some pak choi, peppers, shallots, spring onions, carrots.

Meanwhile I'm still reading the little guidebook to Nice that came with the tickets. On the whole it's not telling me anything new though it has revealed that the bus from the airport into Nice (where we're staying in a hotel for the first couple of nights of our hols) is wheelchair accessible & considerably cheaper than a taxi. It even stops more or less outside our hotel. That's useful to know.
