Eaten

Today He is not very happy. The sweet corn He grows each year has been decimated in the night. Just like the last 2 years. The cobs are broken down and the coverings shredded by big strong claws. And the corn is eaten very neatly. This time though He knows What Is Responsible. Badgers.

Add to this the fact that the only 4 Chretien pears on His new tree have been consumed by blackbirds.

And the chicken soup She made yesterday fell off the cooker in the night. (Had an awful job getting the saucepan lid off.) Tasted good though, even if a bit hairy from the carpet.

I shall spend the day upstairs.
