Friday

 Morning, lovely people.  How are you this Friday morning - or whenever?
After a pleasant morning yesterday, followed by an increasingly cloudy afternoon and an evening of torrential rain, today looks like being lovely and sunny, according to the BBC.  That would be very nice so fingers crossed.

Early yesterday morning was a busy time, as I said yesterday and I ended up with ten uncooked mince pies in the freezer, still in the tin while they hardened.  Unfortunately, they then stuck so needed prizing out with a knife but I think only one has a hole in the side while a few of the others are slightly dented - not a disaster!  I'll remember that if I make any more and use some easy leave to line the holes in the tin.

The rogan whotsit and the butter chicken are now in the fridge, flavours developing, to be re-heated this evening.  It means I will have very that needs doing this afternoon.  A table to lay, rice to cook, curries to reheat, a pavlova thing to assemble and various bits and bobs to warm up or just lay out in dishes.  I do like to get as much as possible done in advance.

I did some more sorting in my bedroom but not in the cupboard downstairs.  That's because I emailed the school head, N, to ask if they could use various items I have, such as the 11+ study books and a ream of cm squared paper and it makes sense to await her reply before taking anything out really.  

I think that today I might go through all the Christmas stuff I have in the guest room cupboards, not to discard but just to get into order and lay out on one of the beds.  Things like tablecloths will need ironing so I can get that done.

First of all, though, it is Slimming World, which I am looking forward to very much.  If the weather is as good as BBC says, I can walk there.

Have a very lovely day, everyone, whatever you have planned.  xx
