It came as a surprise yesterday. After all that hot weather,
& nervously making a pie, we sat outside really appreciating
having a hot meal. A cool wind had got up. The Fox, sitting in the shade even
had to resort to a jumper! I managed without but I was sat in the sun.
As for the meal it was good & rich. The Fox managed to eat
it all. The only concession I made to his loss of appetite was to cut down on
the potatoes. Normally I would have done another one.
So today it’s a Slow Cooker Venison Roast. The Fox cooked the
pot roast in the slow cooker overnight. I’ve peeled the spuds – mash today.
Again I’ve done a bit less than I usually would have.
It’s good to see the Fox’s appetite return. It’s not quite
entirely back but it is getting there.
Yesterday the cruise tickets arrived. Along with it came the car
parking at Rosyth. I gave the agency a ring. Last March I had changed
the parking to Newcastle when we’d made the booking, yet here again they were
expecting us to drive up to Edinburgh and what? Hitch back to Newcastle,
luggage in hand? They confirmed the change to Newcastle.
Our friends’ decision to come on the trip with us has taken much
of the excitement away from the holiday. However, when I saw the tickets a
glimmer did rise again. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that they want some
me time as much as we do, time to do their own thing as much as we want to do
ours. Now we just need to get the Fox’s appetite back. One of the few joys of
our last attempt at a sea-going cruise was the high quality of the food. It
would be a pity to miss out on it.
