Today I spent the morning and the postprandial period with my nose in “Culloden”, until venturing out into the
unaccustomed sizzling heat of the garden where the Weeping birch tree has not recovered from the June heatwave.
For photography I relied upon a certain amount of shade;
and both helpful shadows and glowing backlighting.
Afterwards I dripped indoors and buried my nose once more.
This evening’s dinner consisted of Jackie’s well filled beef and mushroom pie; creamy mashed potato; tender cabbage and cauliflower leaves; crunchy carrots, firm cauliflower, and tasty gravy, with which she drank Grenache/Cinsault Pays d’Oc rosé. From Desperate Dan’s cow pie our discussion turned to the Dundee stable of comics including, Dandy, Beano, Beezer, and Topper, all of which we had delivered, but had to wait for Mum to read first.
