It was the Fox’s birthday yesterday – his 70th. He is the
one now regarded as being extremely vulnerable but we are continuing life as
normal, or as normal as we can in these abnormal times.
To celebrate I roasted & honey-&-mustard glazed a gammon joint - a bit of a birthday treat for the Fox. The
birds enjoyed the cut off rind for their dinner last night. We tried our best
to shoo off the gulls to ensure the starlings had a chance to have a feast.
This morning the leftover fattiness went out for their breakfast. Again I
flapped my arms to scare the gulls & chased the black & white cat up
out of our garden. I was pleased that gave the starlings chance to have their
breakfast. They obviously realised my scaring efforts were for their benefit
& happily ate on even though I passed near the bird feeder.
Elevenses have just gone out. I’ve just been making up a shepherd’s pie
for this evening’s dinner. Any fat & skin again went out for the birds but
there was very little. I try to take off excess fat & skin before I bag
& freeze leftovers. All I will need to do this evening is warm the pie up
in the oven & brown the potato topping a bit. It should be good.
