Thursday evening, 31-20-24

Evening again, everyone.  Have you had a lovely day!

Round here, it started rather dull and damp but by the afternoon the sun was out and it was beautiful.

I spent the morning in the kitchen - well, now and again in the kitchen.

I used lots of odds and ends, soup mix, barley, stock, chicken - oh, all sorts - in the slow cooker to make a very autumny sort of soup, thick and (I hope) filling.  One portion for tomorrow and two in the freezer.
I them made a couple of loaves.  One was my usual seeded wholemeal but to the other I added garlic, sliced olives, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and grated cheddar.  It is scrummy!  Both are sliced now and in the freezer.

I did some housework and some crochet and sorted out my end of month finances so it's all clear for a no spend November now.
That doesn't mean buying nothing, it means just buying essentials, paying the usual bills, etc.  And if I do see Christmas gifts, I will be getting them as I count that as essential.

It's all those extra things, like yarn!!!!!

I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep as I'm pretty tired and I wish the same for you too.
Stay safe and warm, everyone, and see you tomorrow.  xx
