Chanterelles!


Today we were scheduled to visit the vets to get Rhuaridh's chip checked, and his passport updated prior to going on holiday. We were telephoned around 1400h to be told the scanner was kaput so there was no use in going, made a new appoinment for Thursday so hope the scanner is repaired!
As we thought we were going to the vets when we arose, decided to do some work in the garden this morning and early afternoon. Had a shower which I enjoyed, also a good breakfast, then I got stuck into mowing the grass, Graham was doing the strimming outside the garden. The wee fellow wondered what had happened, no walk this morning, just wait and see! we both worked really hard and about 1500h we had lunch.
As the weather was very warm and sunny, we were able to eat sat at the table on the deck. The swallows today were amazing swooping over the deck feeding themselves and their young mid-flight and on the telephone wires, I could sit and watch them all day, hope some stay until we come back from holiday!
After our hard work decided to go and look for Chanterelles to eat for dinner, on the way we stopped off to give Rhuaridh a run in the woods. Got to the 'shroom wood and found lots, also appeared to attract the wee beasties they nipped us all the time we were there, swines!
Back home Graham made a delicious dinner rice with Chanterelles cooked in brandy, cream, parmeggiano and parsley, superb.
Great day, supposed to be warm and sunny tomorrow, John H coming to do the velux. Bye.
