Stringing out today beyond a couple of paragraphs is going to be a real challenge. We basically did nothing. I walked Molly. We read a lot. We ate a lot (again). It was magnificent. The highlight was probably watching Molly fall deeper in love with Miles (the dog who lives across the creek) as their relationship hit the somewhere between 3rd and 4th base. I don’t want to be crude but our little princess was involved in some dry humping but she has delusions of being male as she was the dominant one. I’m planning to have a birds and bees chat with her tomorrow to explain where she’s going wrong.

The lack of activity did allow me to further flex my culinary muscles but after two incredibly heavy days of eating, it was with explicit instructions to keep it light. As such, the menu consisted of garlic, chili and sage marinated grilled flank steak with a cranberry sauce and mixed salad. Nods of approval all round and I was especially happy with the cranberry sauce which, admittedly isn’t rocket science, but I haven’t made it before and it was a perfect accompaniment to the medium rare slivers of charred cow.

How do I make the rest of the night sound exciting? We played Trivial Pursuit, watched a frightening amount of TV and the nightly “guess what time Kate will fall asleep” game was won by Molly who guessed 10:16pm. Planning some proper hiking tomorrow to try and shake of this lethargy…and because the fridge has no more meat left in it.
