Mmmm, pie!

Didn't realise how long it had been since my last entry, but I've been pretty busy. Had a friend down all weekend so have been playing the good hostess. We had a good time, but I'm pretty tired now so think I'll try for an early night later. On saturday we went into town to watch the rugby, and it seems that the England boys are doing worse than Gubbins Athletic in that they seem incapable of winning a match. We were not best pleased with the game, so had a few drinks in comiseration, before I ended up seeing the Borat film again as my friend Russ hadn't seen it and wanted to. I didn't laugh quite so much the second time around, but still thought it was good. We ended up staying in on saturday night again, another friend came round to join us so we just had drinks here. On sunday, we went to the famer's market in the morning to get stuff for dinner (nice local apple juice, mushrooms, bread, bacon, assorted game etc), and then I spent the afternoon slaving over a hot stove making a game pie and a cake, while lazy old Russ went back to bed with a hangover! The pie was delicious though, and I'm going to reheat the leftovers for dinner tonight. We then went to see Russell Brand's stand-up show in Salisbury, like Borat it was pretty rude but very funny in places, and he didn't at all spend the time going on about his dinkle.

I've had a quiet day today, clearing up and that sort of thing. Not working til later in the week so will be making sure I'm up-to-date on the paperwork and stuff. Resolved to go to the farmer's market more often, I think I may have raved about it before, but the food is just so much nicer than what you get at the supermarket (apart from nice ranges like Duchy Originals). And they have some superb recipes on their page, I especially like the "Easter Bunny Casserole" which I might have to do, seeing as I've still got a rabbit in the freezer from when I went to stay with Marie recently (we found a nice traditional butcher on one of our days out).

Anyway, feeling hungry now so going to go and make some mash and cook the veg and pie leftovers. Mmm!
