Saturday

 Good morning, everyone.  After a jolly good evening with Dave and Anna, my head is just a little bit fragile this morning so I'll keep this short.   :-)  (do I hear a faint cheer?)

The Chinese fake away was lovely, it all worked extremely well, I think, and now I have more SW friendly recipes to use another time.  I added some Chinese pork ribs to the mix (recipe on the BBC Good Food site) after a bit of a panic about variety, and I'm very glad I did as they were really nice and I'm going to make them again another time.

It was very late before they left and I went to bed and I woke earlier this morning than I would have liked, so I'm going to make today an easy and gentle day.  I need to hydrate (ooops) and catch up on sleep so will be staying in and taking things boringly easy.  Thankfully, we have had rain, so I don't need to worry about the allotment and I think I will go down early tomorrow morning to pick and do a bit of weeding.

Have a great day, whatever you have planned.  As we're certainly not out of the Covid woods yet (October lockdown, anyone???), take care, stay safe and be happy.  xx

    1. Yes, a lockdown would be awful for them. Let's hope not.
      I had the meds when I went to bed last night so it's really not that bad. Plenty of water is definitely on the menu today though. xx

  2. Hope you've recovered! It sounds like it was worth it and you all had a good time.

    I'm hoping and praying that we can avoid an October lockdown but the numbers are worrying, aren't they. xx

    1. I have, thanks. It wasn't so bad really.
      Yes, they are worrying again. I gather people aren't getting it as badly (generally) but even so, it's a concern.

  3. Lovely party, I love Chinese food but mostly have take out. Our numbers aren't great here either but there hasn't been any talk of another lockdown so far. Fingers crossed for you.

    1. It was a lovely evening and Saturday's leftovers were also very tasty!

      I believe it could be a short lockdown, a sort of 'firebreak' thing, perhaps over an extended half term break so schools don't have to be closed again. I also believe, although I could be wrong, that dear Boris (!!) has said it won't happen which makes it a lot more likely that it will.
      We will see.
      (please take the above with a large pinch of salt - I'm probably quite wrong here and more than a tad cynical about our current government)
