Wet start

There was heavy rain first thing this morning but it cleared up by lunchtime. The sun is trying to sustain a good shine now while fighting with the clouds that are intent on stifling it.

The Gorse Fox has been out and about. First, he had to take Cousteau-cub into work. This meant using a backroad again as the traffic reports suggested the usual route was clogged up. The Gorse Fox is glad he found this alternate route yesterday. Once back home he grabbed his bags and did a top-up shop at Sainsbury's. This was necessary because of the plan for the afternoon.

He headed back to Chichester to collect Cousteau-cub at lunchtime then settled down with his recipes. It was time to make up another batch of curry sauce. Onions, celery, carrots, and green peppers were chopped and the big pot was pressed into service as the vegetables and all the right spices were reduced over the hob for an hour or so. It smells wonderful as it sits and cools. It will be portioned out into containers and stored in the freezer later.

While that was going on the Gorse Fox retired to his study to write some code. He is writing some code to clean up the storage drive that Two Hats is using to save his CCTV images and videos. These are sent from the camera, using SFTP, to his Raspberry Pi for long term storage. Even still the storage needs to be cleaned up and the videos and the images over a certain age need to be purged, otherwise, the storge will just fill up.

The Silver Vixen is having a bit of a blitz on the kitchen cupboards as the Gorse Fox writes.  He is in no doubt that it will all be very neat and tidy once she has finished, but isn't convinced he will be able to find anything.
