I’m reading…..
Cooking with Fernet Branca; James Hamilton Patterson. This is the funniest book I have read for a long time. It is the story of an ex-pat living in Tuscany and his wild and wacky neighbour Marta, a composer from the ex-Soviet state of Voynovia. Highly satirical it will destroy most people’s perceptions of the Tuscan idyll. His recipes have to be seen to be believed.
I’m eating….
anything which is not cooked with Fernet Branca. I will definitely NOT be eating Fish Cake, Alien Pie or Otter with Lobster Sauce.
I’m watching….
the last of the siskins before they start their summer migration, skeins of Canada geese which go honking up and down this valley at dawn and dusk each day and the little chaffinches resplendent in smart breeding plumage, flitting about in the oaks trees opposite my house.

I love to hear geese Jas and I particularly like to see them flying in formation.
There's an insistent chaffinch singing in our garden.

Geese make such a strange noise, even indoors we hear then overhead.
Our chaffinch is in the oak trees at the front of the house. He sounds like a squeaky gate on occasions!
