..... %#@*&$#%@!

5AM Monday Morning!!!!

To partly quote Pepper: "Farging foraging frigging forging rizzer razzer FRAT!"

Fortunately, part of the day was saved when Pepper and I were out on a naturalist safari, within the Great Squirrel resort that is our company premises.

Weather improved a bit (less cold, more snow), so the squirrels (or the squizels, as DemonicPepper calls them) were coming out again, all puffy and nibbling on nuts and cones.

Pinecones lah, not ice-cream cones.

Aaand, to further save my day...

Rump Roast! with roasted red onions and red potatoes, and just for contrast, brussels sprouts.
