Woke up to a rainy day,not something we have done much this summer,Ed the duck is enjoying it though and has now metamorphosed into a real mallard male complete with colouring,our neighbour farmer Joe has three ducks on his pond and I am trying to work out a plan to get Ed up there as I think he would like it.
Shot a rat two days ago from 20 yards,bowled it over and then put two more slugs into it to make sure,they are scrounging around now as the wheat has just been cut and leaves them little cover,not my favourite animals I have to say.
I did have the idea of shooting pheasants,hares,rabbits etc. for the pot when I first moved here but I seem to have gone soft and can't bring myself to do it,though I can think of one blond "lady" who I might not be averse to finishing of.
We have jam coming out of our lugholes at the moment as the thought of all the local fruit going to waste has set La Signora off on a burst of jam making activity ,in spite of having decided to cease with the pursuit and rejecting offers of empty jars.
