Wednesday, 15-02-23

 Morning!!  More frost this morning and it was misty earlier although no longer and the frost will go soon.  I do like a frosty start to the day as long as it doesn't hang around!  It is supposed to be sunny again, like yesterday when the temperature reached 15C.  Fine by me.

For an easy day, I seemed to get plenty done yesterday, working through my list.

I changed the bedding, washed it, dried it and ironed it.  Next time I need to remember that I hadn't remade the bed until bedtime!!  Slightly annoying but my own fault!
I did some other washing too and dried some on the line.  This morning, once I am washed and dressed, I have a little stack of things to iron and put away.
There's one more load to do.  I usually do all my washing at a low temperature but now and again I like to give some of the whites a hotter wash.  As it's the only washing, maybe I'll do that today.

Did I start the shed?  No!  However, I weeded not one but all the beds and did some other stuff too so that's my excuse. 

I spent some time in the kitchen too, cooking for Friday.  I didn't do the flatbreads but I did the beef curry and that's not in the freezer with a small pot of the sauce/gravy/whatever you call it, to add to mince, maybe, another time.

Today is the last day with nothing in it.   I keep thinking it is time to go to Hyde Hall again but it will be busy over half term and maybe I will wait a few weeks until more of the bulbs are out.
I have a bit of washing, some ironing, some gardening and that shed so I'm not short of things to do.
Also, Val is coming round for lunch tomorrow so today I will make some Mexican pork one pot for us both (using up another Simply Cook kit in the process).
Finally, I MUST do a shop tomorrow so I have to write the list.  Without a list I always forget things and get unnecessary things.  I think it will be M&S for fruit and veg and then over the car park to Aldi for the rest.

Have a lovely day, everyone, and take care.  If you're not 100%, stay warm and rest up - thinking of you.  xx

  1. It's fatal not remaking the bed straight away when you change the linen - I've done that too, a blimmin nuisance when you're tired and just want to get in bed! Have a lovely 'bitsy' day Joy xx

  2. I hate when I forget the bed isn’t remade! At least it gets a good airing. Catriona

  3. Yes, we've all done that with the bed making up - still, always nice to get into clean sheets . The beef curry will be all the tastier for 'resting' won't it. We've just had a curried soup, and I always make enough for 2 lunches.

    1. I think it will be. It's in the freezer but I find that doesn't stop a bit of flavour development. xx

  4. It sounds as though you got a lot done! I suppose things would be busy with the children on school holidays. It's better to go when they are in school - a lot quieter

    1. I was really happy with how the day went - things do get very crowded in half terms and that's fair enough. Much better to wait until everything calms down again if one can. xx
