We fed (and overfed) everybody who came and people seemed to have a good time. All good. <\/p>\n<p>We went into town in the morning and bought 20 pounds of meat. I kid you not. The butcher had very good deals on so we left with 5 pounds of stewing steak, 5 pounds of minced lamb, 5 pounds of minced beef and 10 chicken breasts. Hopefully that&#8217;ll last us for a while :)<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was a bit rougher, morale-wise. I spent part of the day making purees for the beastie. I&#8217;m not in my happy place at the moment.

I&#8217;m tired, irritable, and generally not in a good mood today and I don&#8217;t see it improving in the short term.
