For those of you in East Kent... Stour Game are an independent butcher on a farm site between Chilham and Godmersham. They do some interesting stuff including these two lovely chickens for a mere £12. Some of the best chicken I've eaten.

Last night's dream. In a hotel room and a succession of people keep walking through. Drunk 🏉 fans. An entire Chinese family. An elegant woman looking for a wedding. None of them moved by my plaintive wail 'I'm trying to 🤬 sleep here 😵‍💫'

Tonight I made risotto with crown prince squash. Just rice, roast squash, veg stock, shallots and parmesan. An absolute belter of a dish and quite easy. It got scoffed before I could take a pic.
