July Hibernation

[Sweder]

Maybe the metaphor we need is steps.
You know, clamber up one giant step on the staircase, stop for a breather, then on to the next one. Sometimes the steps are shallow and easily climbed; at other times the top of the next step is somewhere up in the clouds, yet still we climb it.

I'm not sure about that one - needs some work.
What I am sure about is sausages. Porky Whites - to be located in the Epsom/ Ewell area - are probably the finest mass-produced, sold-in-supermarket sausages known to man. I'd send some out to you MLCMan, but knowing how customs view shipments of meat between the continents I'll wait 'till I can bring some out in person.

I love the leek and stilton bangers on offer at our local Farm Shop - all free-range, corn-fed meat, low in fat, sky-high in flavour (and price). They have other fashionable varieties including pork and apple and a particularly fiesty chilli option. I'll pull in a variety for the Barbie on the 28th (Blackcap/ Lewes Pub Crawl/ Lewes v West Ham day). I suspect the Spanish mafia might like to chip in here to highlight some of their finest chorizo Wow I'm getting hungry . . .

Being blessed with a good deal less-functional grey matter than some I seem less affected by the night terrors. My preferred weapon of choice for bludgeoning the brain cells before bed is to soak up movies, preferably rubbish, late at night.
