Madness
I am daunted by the week ahead. Without doubt today has been the calm before the storm, a rare Sunday spent with family eating, chatting and relaxing. G was on good form and it's wonderful to see him well again and enjoying life. Tomorrow morning Mr C will be reporting for duty and the manic week begins, culminating in a hog roast on Sunday to celebrate my 31st birthday. To make things a little more interesting hedge laying is due to start next week which necessitates materials being gathered, my parents are having two mutton wethers(castrated rams) slaughtered, I'm shooting on Saturday and oh yes, Em and I have a concert in Udimore on Saturday evening. The calendar for the coming week reads something like this:
Monday-Tuesday - Coppicing for hedge laying materials
Wednesday -Pig killing X 2
Thursday - Butcher one pig and mutton weathers
Friday - Gather wood for the spit roast, mount pig on spit and general preparations
Saturday - Shooting a.m., practice in afternoon followed by concert
Sunday - Start cooking pig at 5am to eat at 2 pm
Still, the pigs look calm enough about the week’s proceedings -so what have I got to worry about?
