What goes down...


Must sometimes come up, as was the case -for me, of the saveloy that B had brought back from the cattle auction. It was 4 AM this morning befor the last of parted with me, and I got some sleep. Until first light when I was up as usual. Very annoying to be a light sensitive sleeper. Anyway, it's been a tea and toast day and the book has not moved very much.

The tiny little art gallery had a show this evening, and we went to show solidarity. One of the things on display was a number of paper-thin lathed bowls - made a friend of John's - delicately shaped and drawn out of the grain and sometimes bark.



That's the artist herding cows. You don't want to judge people quickly.

  1. I warned you!

    I told you!

    But would you listen?

    No.

    Saveloys aren't food. The islanders are playing a cruel joke on you. What use is a sausage you can't cook on the barbie? None.

    Q.E.D.

  5. Poor Dave, hope you are feeling better.

    Maybe locals develop an immunity or tolerance for sav's.

  6. We heard today that there is a bug going around, so it may be that, and we are just giving the saveloys a bad name! We will be selling them again at the market on Saturday, if anyone wants to come along and try some???
