Yesterday was really lazy round here. I started to sort out the lamb leftovers (there's loads) and made a stock in the slow cooked using the lamb bones, a stockpot, some red wine and some rosemary - more or less what went into the original slow roast lamb, in fact. I need some stock to freeze some portions of lamb, otherwise it will maybe go rather dry.
I had lunch at Beth's and then she taught me how to play Ticket To Ride which I have never played before. I really enjoyed it - have you played it?
Then it was home to catch up with more recordings, knit and just chill.
Beth and I had a little chat about next Christmas. I might be away, I don't know yet, but whether I am at home or away, Beth said she would like to host The Day next year. How lovely is that. I can help out, of course, but it will be nice to have the pressure off.
The choccy is plum liqueur - sounds nice, doesn't it?
I did the next two sections of the puzzle but I have splashed out and treated myself to a proper puzzle board which should arrive Monday. So, at the moment, I am making up each day's two sections on A4 card which, I hope, will enable me to slide them onto the board when it arrives and join them together. Fingers crossed. Then I will take photos.
Things are starting to get back to normal again today. It starts with Slimming World, a weigh and go session today and we have no idea who/how many will come but we will see.
Once home again, I want to finish sorting out the lamb leftovers, dust and sweep downstairs and get the blue room ready because my lovely friend, Sonja, is coming over to spend a few days here from tomorrow.
Once that is all started I will either get on with my knitting or I might be a brave girl and get down that Persian Tiles crochet that I think will really push me out of my comfort zone good and proper. If you hear howls of anguish coming from the general Mid-Essex direction, you will know why!
Time to stop rambling and get going with other things. Take care, everyone and, whether you are back at work, still on break or retired, have a lovely and enjoyable day. xx
