SATURDAY afternoon

Just a short post:
It's been a really wet morning; almost windless, but a continual downpour. It made getting round the clay shooting course an exercise in endurance (fortunately, the people I shoot with [Alison & Phil] make it more than worthwhile). We shoot English Sporting Clays (where the targets emulate game birds). None of us are great but we enjoy it. Scores today (remember the vile weather) ranged from 42/75 to 48/75, respectable, not great (as usual, it's missing the easy ones that damages the score).

Anyway, I'm currently in the process of cooking dinner for tonight. The main is loin of pork that I'm slow roasting at 150C. Will turn the temperature up for the crackling at the end. Going to serve with french beans, stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy. Starter is going to be a mixed plate including asparagus vinaigrette, eggs mayonnaise, a sweet pepper salad and smoked oysters. Alison says she'll do Eton mess for dessert, but she's currently at the spa, so who knows.

Enjoy your weekend!
