9th June.
I haven’t had the brain capacity to write anything for a couple of days as my poor, old brain has been consumed with thoughts of our coming fund raiser and what I’ve got to do for it.
I’ve never chopped so many vegetables in my life as I have over these last few days. Chopping and freezing, chopping and freezing and now even the freezers look like they’re going to be sick, attempting spew food out the door every time I open them to cram yet more chopped up veg in! Poor freezers. I used to say that I was kind to animals but cruel to cars as I always viewed the red light as an indicator that maybe I should put in more water, petrol or oil in. Now I’ve realised that I’m cruel to freezers, too, shoulder charging them to get the door shut before it all starts spilling out. I do realise that I’m rapidly running out of freezer space so I’m going to have to start being extra nice to the neighbours and see if I can’t rent a room for a week or so in theirs for my chopped veg. What a nightmare!
I spent most of yesterday chopping garlic but I have to say that I wasn’t bothered by a single vampire last night so I guess that everything has its bonuses. Not content with smelling of garlic I also chopped about a million onions so I guess I will probably never catch another cold again in my life! I was veg peeler and chopper, washer up and general dogs body to another artist that was creating a wonderfully, aromatic curry.
You’ll probably guess that our chef was a lad when I tell you that I had to pick up every bag of spices and put them back in the cupboard, chuck away every empty packet and generally clear up after him. Bless him, he makes a mean curry, though, so we forgive him.
I know that some (surprisingly few) people don’t like curry so we’re going to have lots of different styles of food over the weekend to accommodate everyone. It’s going to be quite a task for all of us to bring it together but there is so much goodwill amongst our friends that we know that this is going to be a fantastic weekend.
We’re going to have an exciting fire show and great music, a raffle with amazing prizes and this fund raiser is going to make a massive difference to the animals.
Please support us.
