Tuesday

Morning, all.  How are you today?   Yesterday started a bit dull but then out came the sun.  I'm hoping today will be the same because it was lovely and warm but a fresh breeze kept it from being too hot.  Just perfect really.

Yesterday, I . . .

. . . finished the freezer audit and typed up the results it's now printed out so I can use it when weekly meal planning.

. . . revised this week's meal plans in the light of the audit.

. . . dead headed the dahlias - there are still so many buds coming along - no early frosts, please, Ms. Weather.

. . . harvested the lavender - it's now all wrapped in a muslin and hanging in the airing cupboard to dry where it will make the towels smell wonderful.  How will I manage when I no longer have an airing cupboard?  Can one dry it quickly using the dehydrate function of the air fryer, I wonder,  Must look that one up.*

. . . made a fish pie for dinner.

. . . did the washing, drying and the ironing.  :-)

. . . and I got an email from the Broomfield Trips organiser, Ray, with new trip dates and the news that people have stepped forward and he has the highest hopes that the group will continue under 'new management'.  Such great news and I have celebrated by booking a trip to Cambridge next March.  😊

Today, I am . . .

. . . going into London to visit the Houses of Parliament and have a tour, organised by Ray and the Broomfield Coach Trips group.  Before the tour, the coach will first drop us off at Covent Garden for a look around before taking us to the  Houses of Parliament.  I'm looking forward to this very much indeed.

I'll take my camera and I will try to do an account of today but it depends how much time I have this evening and how tired I am when I get home.  It might be Thursday rather than tomorrow!

. . . starting a sourdough leaven when I get home.  I have three loaves to make this week and I'm going to try to do them all as one batch.  I have a mega big bowl for the fermenting and, if the leaven is good overnight, I can make all three tomorrow.

It should be a very interesting day.

* Google says yes.  Excellent.
