Another souper here. Made a huge cauldron of veg and lentil soup for this week and the freezer. Composted the peelings. Also baked bread and fairy cakes so had a soup and pudding dinner.
I stapled some lovely fabric to a canvas frame to make something to hang on my boring white wall today. I consider this a (borderline) MFW activity as it means I have the pleasure of owning something "new" without spending any more money. The frame and fabric had been clutter for years and I borrowed a staple gun from work.0
