Hot dogs and fireworks party on Saturday. GrandDaughter2 kept shouting, 'Gen, gen, gandad!' (again, again, granddad) and GrandSon2 kept shouting, 'More space rockets, granddad!' Meanwhile GrandSon4 was so impressed that he fell asleep halfway through the fireworks.
Some nice walks. The weather has been unusually dry though cold, meaning lots of lovely piles of leaves to rustle and jump in. The cold didn't deter the female swimmer at Langland today. No wetsuit just a dog.
Going to have lunch now. Back later as I'm sure there were more snippets I wanted to include. Oh yes, before I go: Younger Son brought some Italian sausage back from his continental holiday. 'Try it,' he said. 'This one's hazelnut.'
'Mm, that's quite nice.' (Although I'm not wild about salami type sausage.)
'Now try this one.'
'What is it?'
'See if you like it.'
I realised from his reluctance to tell me what it was that it was likely to be something I possibly wouldn't like. I gingerly took a bite.
'Do you like it?'
'Mm, it's okay,' I said, not wanting to commit myself. 'What is it?'
'Donkey.'
'Donkey?! Really?'
I gave him back the rest of the slice. There's just something about eating a creature that says hee-haw that is unpalatable.

I think I would have a problem with donkey sausage also, nope not for me either.
Aren't those grandbabies wonderful.
I've tried it , too , but agree . It's not logical , since I've eaten hundreds of pigs over the years and they're just as appealing . I like rabbits , too .
All we can do , if we're not prepared to become vegan , is to buy responsibly produced meat , fish and dairy .
Donkey salami is common in Hungary; I recently got some in Venice too. Delicious.
Back in 2013 there were "scandal" reports about donkey meat in salami in the UK too, see https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/294020/Now-there-s-donkey-meat-in-UK-salami
