I have just been into the dreary spires to do some food shopping for my friends who are visiting this weekend. I spent ages choosing some meat and cheese. I crammed the delicious samples into my rucksack along with my books, wine glasses etc, and started heading back to work. As I got to the lift I really felt for the horses and donkeys of this world. They spend their lives carrying much heavier things - I suppose their ergonomics are better equipped for such activities, and walking on all fours may help, but even so!
Because I am an idiot I forgot to buy vegetables. That is what happens when you get distracted by the cheese counter. I wouldn't have been able to carry them anyway.
maybe the tops of the stinging nettles will do as vegetables, they taste like spinach,might save another donkey voyage.

Yes if the dogs hadnt peed on them.
ReplyDeleteI am eyeing up the vast quantities of garlic mustard in my garden at the moment, which I'm told makes a palatable sauce (though neither particularly garlicky nor especially mustardy).
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
