Kittikins

VickyA - hugs and lemsip from a fellow lurgy sufferer! I think mine is 'Receptionitis', whilst I posted late last night, I was tucked up in bed at 7pm. Hope you feel much better by the time you read this x


Saturday.....


1. NSD


2. Planned lots of lessons but still have tons to do tomorrow. It's a bit like the magic porridge pot, I've got to do weekly plans for teech and individual plans for uni, as well as having 3 year groups in one class. I mustn't piddle about tomorrow, need to get them done and emailed over to teech!!! So far I'm about 2/3 of the way through the weekly plan *sigh*


3. Watched a Fred & Rita (not Ginger) film tonight Finally, it was my turn to choose the film for 'movie night'!


4. Felt better throughout the day.


5. DD came back from her chum's house full of beans and cuddles

I'm back again with my Sunday pleasures.

A Mother's Day breakfast at our usual cafe, was bookings only. I could have partaken of a free glass of champagne but don't drink so passed on that. I just had toasted sour dough bread with peanut butter and then a rather decadent mini mud cake! Stuffed! Everyone else ate their food with gusto too!

Home and after a bit of sweeping...the big tree in the driveway decided yesterday was the day the leaves were going to start to fall.it seems later this year and lots of other trees have been shedding their leaves for weeks.
DD1 and I got out the car and tried to catch the leaves as they fell.
Anyway, sweeping will be a constant job for a couple of weeks:)

Hung out a washing but it was still damp when I brought it in but not soaking.

Sunday snooze.

I've used up some scary veg and some not so scary veg to make soup and I'm trying for the first time ever soda bread. So that's tea on at the moment and probably cake and custard for pud. Real autumnal fare.

It was lovely to have a whole 2 days off work at the weekend. It was lovely to catch up with friends and be fed and watered and lovely to head out as family today .

Enjoy your day


Eta soup delicious and first attempt at soda bread with chopped up parsley from the veg patch and slathered in butter was very yummy indeed. So easy to make and very cheap. It was Jack Monroes recipe.

200gr sr flour,
1 tsp bicarbonate soda.
200mls milk
Juice of half lemon.

180o for 45 mins.

Morning, from the spare room - OH had been drinking and immediately went into snore mode so bailed out early

Kittikins - hope u hear good news tomorrow
Magister - I can't imagine seeing wild kangaroos (wild? They were livid:D)

Pleasures for last two days

Friday.

1 student presentations were fab and one gave me a bottle of wine as a thank you for my help
2 lunch out with pals and the dodgy one behaved
3 colleague who was looking for me to do something he was charged with actually asked for my help and if I minded him putting me forward as a co creator of the course. I think someone has had a word after I complained that I know more about it than he.
4 chicken curry for tea made by OH, even though he put cauliflower in it :eek:
5 getting DS ready for his DofE

And yesterday

1 dropped DS and his mate off for DofE in the Peak District and met up with friends to go walking
2 walk was excellent and lasted for three hours, but on top of that we had morning coffee pub lunch and afternoon tea
3 met LOADS of DofE groups en route. All were cheerful, polite and said hello. Why do we only hear the bad about our youth?
4 went to friends for a Eurovision party. Great fun. I was routing for Hungary or the Netherlands.
5 didn't drink so clear headed this morning.

Have nice day...

MHags - I made soda bread for the first time a few days ago! Was lovely. It needs wrapping up overnight so it doesn't dry out but was impressed it takes 40mins to cook, not 4 hours like my bread maker.

Gosh you lots will has the BoPsie all so giddy


5 This year we made 4 decent sized Xmas puddiungs and we hit May and there are none left. Not only that, as I am a porker and baconer, we is out of eggs. That means there is no Spotted !!!!!! either. So I am making a decent tart. Apple Tart!


4 That will be joined on the table with a decent Chop, pork chop, with some snorkers, stuffing and apple sauce. Nips and peas.


3 Now we watched on the catch up last night, Mr Lydon talking to Mr Taylor. It is the best interview ever! If you has the chance, watch it. Was on Sky Arts. On about the uniqueness of you. There is only one, so why would you want to mope somebody else. Also, his remarks on poverty, where his picture in a moth eaten sweater, was it was all he could afford. His remarks about achieving, is part of life, not that to prove you are something else and therefor move back to a council house, just to be something you are not. Marked at a clash singer.


2 gether with BoPsie last night, we snoggled up and now I sus she is after a ginger film. I has one, ginger was shot down in flames.


1 Never miss a cuddle ((((((:heartpuls))))))

Pleasures for yesterday:

1) Not a bad sleep, despite the wind howling outside.

2) Did some work on my essay and got more done than I expected, although I came to a frustrating finish when I came up with a really good line of argument, all by myself, then promptly found an article by an established academic saying exactly the same thing but far better than I could. :undecided

3) Then spent the rest of the afternoon watching Badminton (as in 'horses jumping (or sometimes falling) over logs' rather than 'people chasing a shuttlecock'!).

4) Found that some bedding plants for last year that I had neglected to get rid of have started growing again, so it looks like I'll get a second year of flowers from them.

5) Watching Eurovision, won by the lovely Conchita.

Now I know you lot would love a picture of my Spotted !!!!!!, but I has not done one today.





I have a rather tasty Tart instead. Now, though I have a real dilemma! Do I serve with my usual Lumpy Custard or Cold with Ice Cream!!!!!

and it will only take 10 mins if done on griddle or pan, dry fried as its the custom way to be made over here ,saves on energy etc hth.

Looks like apple pie rather than tart (or am I being too European?) BoP. Either way, hot or cold, cream, custard or ice cream, I'm not fussy, and will take a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge slice please


More lessons planned, I'm on a mission!
