Last week I wrote about finding where the mice live. Unfortunately the cats have found them to and over the course of the last few days we have been treated to a procession of corpses all left out back on the patio. I am not too bothered about the mice but I aimed a kick at the cats when they left a wren out there as well not much bigger than old penny piece.

This morning it would be good to share with you the smell that is coming off the large bunch of basil I bought from the grocers this morning. Sadly the technology is not quite up with that yet and you will have to make do this a picture. We will have this evening with aubergines, tomatoes and lots of pasta.
