Sunday

 Morning, everyone.  Happy Sunday and last-day-of-August/summer, depending on the dates you go by.   It's another fine start to the day, like yesterday although, unlike yesterday, BBC thinks it will stay fine all day round here.  Here's hoping!

First of all, Annabeth, thank you so much for the burger bun recipe.  It made eight of the softest, most delicious smelling burger buns I have ever made.  I didn't taste one but I can tell they will be fab.  They're for Beth and Alex so they're now in the freezer but I will make them again and experiment with upping the wholemeal flour and lowering the white.

And bonus - they are pretty large - I think I could get twelve decent sized rolls from the same recipe.

As for the other ones, I cut off a wee slice and they're OK, despite my misgivings.  A fairly closed crumb but they will be fine for packed lunches on my coach trips, they really will.  They're big so perfect for triple decker rolls!  So no grumbles.

I went shopping again yesterday - two days in a row is not good.  However, I got a reminder from Morrisons that if I spent another £30 before the end of August, I would get 3,000 smart points (which equals £3 as part of a voucher) so I dug out my new month shopping list which has things like washing up liquid, loo rolls, that sort of thing, stuff that I needed and was going to buy soon anyway.
So perhaps it was not 'not good' after all.

I got my washing done and line dried before the rain started so that was good.

Today, Beth and Alex are over for Sunday using-up-stuff-in-the-freezer lunch.  Beth's having bean and veg crumble with a topping from the freezer while Alex and I will make inroads into pots of left-over roast lamb.  Plus the usual sides, of course.  It should be nice.
It's all ready and prepped, as I like to do  first thing in the morning.  It means I can spend more time with B and A when they arrive instead of disappearing into the kitchen and just lightens the load considerably.

Apart from that, I will probably do the ironing later on and that will be that.  A pleasant, slow sort of day.  Fine by me.
See you tomorrow, everyone.  xx
