Eggs IN 7 :T

Only(!) spent £90 - didn't buy any cleaning products, alcohol or toiletries though and the only meat/fish/poultry was 4 FR chicken thighs and a tin of anchovies...
Another afternoon pottering in the garden
Mr MWC tries to help but he has a "that'll do" attitude that winds me up. At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning (whilst he is asleep so I don't hurt his feelings) I shall be replanting the fruit trees he planted and lifting the turf he laid and levelling the soil underneath!
He's an absolute star in the kitchen though :T Sumac-spiced aubergine 'schnitzel' with puy lentil & feta tabbouleh for dinner :TMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

I'd happily accept that attitude to the garden if it meant that wonderful food got made for me! Enjoy!NST March lion #8; NSD ; MFW9/3/23 Whoop Whoop!!!0
