Tasty batch

It was a lovely day - bright and sunny, and temps in the mid-teens. The Gorse Fox was up early but spent the first hour drinking coffee and reading the news. The Silver Vixen soon joined him and Cousteau-Cub soon after that.

Cousteau-Cub was busy crafting her CV and personal statement so that she was ready to approach the various employment agencies in the area. The Gorse Fox tried not to disturb her too much as he went through with the floor washer - but it does tend to be both noisy and disruptive. Interestingly, talking with Two Hats, he said that they use a steam cleaner on their floor and as long as you are quick and don't linger in any one spot - it does a superb job. We had been specifically warned against them for our floor type, but clearly - with care - they do the job.

After lunch the Gorse Fox took Cousteau-Cub into Bognor Regis so that she could wander round the agencies and the various charity shops. (Cousteau-Cub is a demon for finding bargains in the charity shops). He left her there as Two Hats had offered to fix a little crease we had spotted in the Silver Vixen's car door. It didn't take him too long, but was absolutely intriguing to watch as he stripped the door panel and eased the ding out. A master at work and now you would not know there was ever a blemish on the door. Payment will be made at the local pub!

Back indoors the Gorse Fox is making up a large batch of curry base sauce. Some will get used tonight, but most will be frozen and trotted out when needed. As it simmers away in the background, the smell is wonderful.
