Before I forget, my apologies for not remembering who asked about the home made sourdough. Well, it worked - not the best rise ever but after 6 hours it rose. It tasted ok, not ooh gosh wow, best bread you can imagine, but perfectly decent.

A collection.
1. Lovely lunch with DD, and some smashing presents from her too. I have a really attractive haematite necklace from her. I do have some earrings that are haematite to match it, but will enjoy finding some more.

2. Possibility of a new source of work, fingers firmly crossed and best foot forward.

3. New to me cookbooks to look through (again), some s.h., some new. I love reading through cookbooks.

4. The pleasure of a half decent night's sleep in bed. Lovely to not lie there hoping that tiredness would eventually overcome discomfort, but to fall asleep within a few minutes. I just wish I could have more like this. Often I trade still swollen legs from a six hour kip in the riser recliner against six hours of very broken sleep lying flat

5 Your pleasures, thank you.

Oh pooey dd2 didn't get the job. This is the third time her store has recommended her and tbh she can't afford to stay in Edinburgh on current job hours. She is crushed poor babes.

Anyway, first joy for today - watching her put my tea for the tillerman lp on. 'So which side does it play?' 'What?' 'Top or bottom' ' oh yeah top' 'so how do I actually put it on?' Lesson putting lp onto turntable followed by lesson dropping stylus gently onto beginning of record. 'So I can't just choose which track?' 'Well you can but normally I just play whole side' pinky and perky then start delivering 'but I might die tonight' 'ah yes you need to put it to 33' sorry Cat! 'Omg it's got the words on the cover' oh the things we took for granted! I bought this album from a 2nd hand record shop in Norwich when I was doing my a'levels over 30 years ago. It has some scratches and jumps on one track (which always makes listening to the cd strange) and is a dear friend.

1) Mad sortings out for a boot fair tomorrow morning.....I can see the floor in the store room Hoorah!

2) Sorted out the cupboard under the stairs, I can see the floor in there too!

3) We had the first lettuce from the polytunnel for supper last night, I braised it over our veal stew and it was surprisingly nice.

4) Sorting out and deciding to let go of things you only think you need to keep is strangely satisfying and has turned from a trickle into a torrent.

5) Books next on the list particularly cookery books of which I have an awful lot and will be pleased to rehome a goodly proportion of them.....I just hope the car and trailer are big enough for the pile I've accumulated, if not we'll have to do 2 boot fairs!!!

Saturday Pleasures

1. had a busy week but have been out twice for cheap lunch including toby carvery & crackling nom nom .... and I am now on holiday for a week :j

2. watching a lovely small blue butterfly in the garden this morning in the early sunshine

3. managed 2 loads of washing, mostly dry outside between heavy showers at 10am and 2pm

4. cleaned & bleached the bathroom and cleaned the few reappearing blackspots off the ceiling ready for painting with anti mould/mildew paint this week

5. preparing the alleyway at the rear of the house for weed free membrane & gravel. I'm doing the clearing myself to save money, but I can only manage a bit at a time. I sprayed the few weeds that were appearing a few weeks ago and now they are dead I have been out with a spade to skim them off and raked off some of the larger stones. I only did about a 1/3 today of the total area 15m x 2.5m but was pleased with that without putting my back out again. Will do some more later in the week.

I am home from work, onesie on and a milky cuppa in hand.


I can stay up late tonight and lay in tomorrow, no work!


I bought 2 big bunches of flowers from m&s on the way home from work. Multi coloured tulips, £8, reduced to 80p and some white lilies, they smell beautiful, reduced to 60p!! Some of the blooms aren't open yet.


I sat in the garden after work, its looking beautiful, all of my plug plants are thriving. My peas are doing well.


Some pink roses in bloom on the rose bush .


Today was dry and warm, and work went quickly.
