A bit hazy but no mist in the morning (12°C) and almost no clouds all day. So we finally have a good summers day with lots of sun and mercury hitting the lower thirties.

Shopping. The AT mobo hasn't arrived yet so I only return with a spare ink cartridge for the HP 840c printer. With the old HP DeskJet 500 I typically used up one cartridge a year but I made sure I always had a spare one around. At the cost of these cartridges I will have paid more for ink then for the printer in about 3 or 4 years. The old DeskJet did cost about 20 times as mush as a cartridge and I consumed eleven cartridges over its total life of ten years.
The rest of the shopping was for (yet more) clothes and (yet more) food.

The pies I made last week were not entirely cooled by the time we ate them so today I make them just before lunch, giving them a few hours extra too cool down.
The result is that I get lunch ready half an hour later than usual. We have pork roast with fresh haricots (harvested about 10 minutes before cooking) and potatoes served with an delicious but nondescript sauce (pick out the roast, cast a glass of wine in the casserole, add a bit of garlic, ginger, basil and flour, hey presto). Of course I eat to much.

The apricot pie looks great and tastes good. The cherry pie doesn't look good at all, the bottom stuck to the pie form and fell out. After some surgery I get all the pieces in their right place and tough the sight isn't what it should be the taste is just gorgeous.

It is hot and sunny so perfect for playing havoc in the garden. I planted 112 leeks while my father planted some salad.

Then Its off to help my brother on the foundation for his green house.

 

No why do I feel tired tonight?


Adios
