    does actually sound like a good weekend! nice and productive with a bit of healthy gardening. good luck with your dissertation. i've been there far too many times so i know exactly how you feel, i'll be sending you worky vibes.

    how was the stroganoff? i love stroganoff. i'm cooking my staple cheap and yummy carbonara while OH looks up piggy welfare in france to see if our dirt-cheap lardons come from beaten and abused piggies :'( i've told him to lie to me in case he finds anything bad...

    I love carbonara, it's one of my faves and straightforward, what more can you ask for.

    Stroganoff was good - remains of lodgers chicken and half price bacon plus lodgers cheap white wine. Really he's very good to me!
