WE have a bit of a long lie then breakfast out in the sunshine.

I get some tidying up done outside then help Margaret put ups midge screen on our bedroom window.

After lunch I make up some dough for bao buns. Tried this before and is was a disaster. Hopefully better this time.

While the dough’s resting I work on a new song in the garden.

The buns turn out OK…not great, but definately better than last time. I make an early dinner – just a snack as we’re off to an evening wedding reception across the road and there will, no doubt, be lotsa grub there. We have some of the steamed buns with panic chicken, pickled greens and sriracha mayo.

The wedding reception is great.. Beautiful evening on the lochside…and all just a minute’s walk from the house!
