Cleaning mushroomsI need to rest my back 
Today I spent two hours on one of the most incredible mushroom walks ever. At the end my basket was so full that I had to stop picking.
Never mind that the rain was pouring down and my new rain jacket turned out to be by no means waterproof 
Never mind that the walk was done illicitly during my working hours while waiting for the boat to get back on the mainland 
Never mind that I had planned it this way when I organised my day  (Boss? You are not on Downsizer, are you?)
My problem? I have now stood in the kitchen cleaning my haul for three hours and there are heaps of mushrooms left. 
Methinks picking mushrooms and cleaning them is like sex and marriage: the first is short and sweet, the second needs knowledge, cunning, preseverance and patience.
As well as a healthy back
