Hunting & other rural pursuits

I had a wee dram of some plum poitin last night. I bottled it two years ago. Absolutely glorious. Had a wonderful 8.5 hr sleep after, which may or may not be coincidental.

Same as Sloe Gin or Blackberry Whiskey. Wash and dry the fruit. Make sure its good and ripe. Pop into the freezer for a few hours to soften the skin. Into a kilner jar with sugar and booze. Then wait for a few months. Decant through a double muslin and bottle. Reuse the boozy fruit in deserts.

I think itā€™s the poitin part that deserves explanation

Iā€™m getting giddy here thinking about the bonfire this evening. Three tyres, heaps of plastic, cardboard, miscellaneous rubbish and something I havenā€™t burned before, insulated plasterboard.

Supposedly you get a great thick black smoke off of the insulation.

The way I look at it Iā€™m saving the planet from the scourge of landfill, not clogging up the roads with the trailer on or burning diesel heading to the dump.

Halloween is great!

Polyurethane foam. The smoke off that is about as toxic as it gets. If tonight is your last post, weā€™ll know why.

Dirty if done properly, a miracle if done rarely, kinky or perverted depending on whether it involves just the feather or the whole entire chicken, a farce of a carry on whatever way you look at it.
