Quackers

I was over at Murrayfield again today and as usual the river was busy. The usual goosanders, mallards and a moorhen which refused to show its face.
We are gradually getting the furniture moved back to the appropriate rooms, it's a big job though and no rush so we're taking our time.
Ali and Josie visited today, twice! She is still enjoying our animal collection and makes a beeline for them when she comes.
We had a delicious steak pie from the butcher for dinner, but I have a question. I really like puff pastry, but when on a bought precooked pie like this the underside often seems to have a fair amount of very soft, almost uncooked, pastry when I serve it. No jokes about soggy bottoms please - is that just par for the course or can I do something to improve things. I can't see how, these are prize winning pies as described, if the underside of the pastry is not better. Any suggestions, I do follow the instructions.
I'm staying at Katy's tonight, Jon is on shift from 6am and Katy is on call and working tomorrow. Fun with the girls ahead for us.
