Truffles and Puffballs
Taking the Rough with the Smooth…
Truffles:
1. Buying Gary Moore dvd for £12.99 
2. Finding ‘A Passion for Angling’ on dvd-one of the best series ever made.
3. Wild foods coming back on the menu
4. Chilli growing-progressing nicely thankyou.
5. Employing another pastry chef-tip, if you’re looking for one, they’re all in France.
6. Writing these posts whilst listening to www.Planetrock.co.uk
7. My Dad. Still able to lift an old army issue rifle sixty years on. Puts any weights I lift in the gym into perspective. I should add this was at a museum in York so you can all sleep soundly!
8. My sponsored daughter four years old next week. Puts my problems into perspective.
9. ‘Songs For While I’m Away’ by the late Phil Lynott, a book of poems and lyrics from his days in Thin Lizzy. Beautiful words to timeless music. As sad a rock n roll story as they get.
Puffballs:
1. Still waiting for Gary Moore dvd-bloody post 
2. Paying £34.50 for the pleasure
3. Pigeons
4. Organic cat repellant-garlic is now growing in my front garden!
5. The end of Planet Rock on March 28th-a bloody outrage.
6. Increase in council tax bill-paying £1,000 p.a to get my bin emptied once every two weeks to be told they’re going to charge me extra on top for waste disposal!
7. Our labour government-we’re paying more in tax than ever before.
8. The price of beef-glad I’m not having to pay it!
9. Wind as a viable energy source-sod off, wind just wrecked one of my polytunnels. I’ll use more energy trying to fix it.
10. Gordon Ramsay, just because.

1. Still waiting for Gary Moore dvd-bloody post
You should have waited for my review, I’ve seen all 4 concerts - verict - boring !
2: I though about PFA only this week on DVD, the price is simply beyond me though - I may seek a more reasonably priced version on DVD
6: Amen on the tax brother, I just handed a grand over
but in fairness they do empty my bin every week 
7: What a man ! A generation that puts ours to shame and makes the younger generation look like pond life !
Hope your DVD turns up befre the format changes again
Regards

Rod,
As per APFA that’s the only place you can buy it now-through the filmaker himself.
Just got dvd but I’ve only got an hour off this afternoon so can’t watch it!

Fast Flowing Rivers:
1. I have been ‘found’ by a cousin in Canada after much effort on his part constructing a family tree and next month we will meet. I have been surprised by my feelings of excitement and joy at seeing part of my family re-united after a couple of generations. What will they think of an English eccentric? I shall greet them wearing a bowler hat and a copy of the Times under one arm
Think it fair to say Miles, that my future supply of maple syrup is assured…. I may well be bathing in the stuff soon 
2. The purchase of a fabulous new handbag…. saved for and paid for by yours truly. Let’s face it I have been into the shop many times just to look at it…. love at first sight!
Stagnant Waters:
1. A leaky tropical fish tank which caused yet another crisis. Fish all survived and evacuated to safety. Resulting from this I now have a smelly tank to empty and clean… seems like the sewer crisis was just a warm-up
2. Finding out that my two male friends have in their ascendancy, A Passion For Angling
Still, shouldn’t complain, it could be so much worse….
Alas I must away to de-algaefy a tank…. my arms are only just long enough!

Rod,
I’ll lend it to Dad!!

Cid,
That’s a good mix! My pigeon troubles or your stinking tank-that’s a close one!

Cid,
.
. Have you got your Easter Bonnet ready yet?
You seem to have your arms into all sorts of interesting places
It sounds as so we need to roll our sleeves up to help with that polytunnel.
There might be the odd plant to be had to help fill a yard/garden.
We might even encounter some Easter Bunnies

I bet your dad was hoisting an Enfield, great, great rifle. Better even then our M-1.
Pigeons? Why are they a problem when airguns exist?
;-)

Hank,
I think you might be right, he did remark on how heavy it seemed. I must ask him if it was an Enfield.

Elsie,
Easter bunny outfits we must have somewhere, lord knows we’ve got just about everything else
Looks like the lad needs our assistance yet again, this time we’ll bring some sticky tape and a bicycle repair kit. It’s high time he let us project manage the tropical side of things but whatever we do, we mustn’t tread on the chillies or inadvertently replace them with cress… I think he’d notice after a while

Hank,
Update, the gun my father used during the Suez Canal crisis was a Lee Enfield Mark 4, circa 1947 I believe.
