What I should be doing is some housework, funny how it never seems to be the highest priority....

Housework & ironing are never a priority....I can't remember the last time I ironed anything...need to now as there are a few trousers & shirts that need it, but these can wait until after 8/3/16 (when the dreaded exam will be KM'd!).


So freezer saga continues...didn't do the sweetcorn fritters in the end at lunchtime, I had the left over puff pastry pizza and OH had sarnies.


Dinner tonight is for OH - two leftover frozen curries, which once defrosted turned out to be: green beans & pea curry and then red urad lentil curry with tortillas. I can't make chappatis at all, no matter how much I try...:rotfl:. My dinner will be a bit of defrosted quorn chilli with jacket potatoes.


Slowly but surely.


Still windy at here but at least no raining and cold as yesterday.


hope everyone had a good day and a good rest of the evening.

Gosh, if I ever get a Georgian rectory with walled rose garden, I know I can count on your ladies to arm yourself with trugs and flowery gloves and descend en masse for a bit of quality snipping time. And a cuppa, of course.

Served - natch - in a pretty china cup and saucer from a matching teapot, with sugar cubes in a bowl with silver tongs and a selection of dainty morsels of cake (none of those great wodges of it which I'm partial to!) on a cake stand

GQ If we are coming to help in your walled garden I would want Cucumber sarnies with the crusts cut off as well please ;)Sounds like that kind of do

I have been fine today havent even thought about the demise of the shirehorse.:D Glad its gone if the truth were known

I am going to start with this bl**dy painting next week if it kills me (or I find something much more joyful to do):D

Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

I have treated myself to a pair of Bright Orange Linen Trousers (in the sale) So looking forward to the weather being good enough to wear them

Don't worry GQ, if we haven't already Kondoed them we will bring our own inherited china cups and saucers, plates too for the egg mayo sarnies and the bite sized choccie eclairs:rotfl:

Egg mayo on brown crustless please. Never eat egg mayo sandwiches unless it's for afternoon tea . On a pretty cake stand of course .

I will be in flat sandals as I have KM'd all my high heels :T. At a push I could stretch to a pair of wedges .

I have LOADS of clothes and tried (admittedly post KM) to find some joyless items - only one jacket to CS . A few handbags KM'd though - the remaining ones fit neatly in a (large ) plastic box in bottom of wardrobe, except the not-joyful-but-very-functional-perfect-size-for-second-bag-on-Ryanair-but-too-big-for-every-day-too-small-for-carrying-cardi&scarf-Kipling-bag which is in perfect-size-for-Ryanair-cabin-baggage-and-it-brings-me-joy-suitcase .

Tupperware lids have been annoying me as they fall over every time I take the Tupperware out of the cupboard. A few sticky hooks placed on the bottom of the shelf have formed a barrier to hold them in place :T.

Iron? Ironing?? Only happens for craft projects here, I do love that most of my clothes look no different for not being ironed!

Best of luck for the exam lots of joyful kondo woo to help with any stress!

And a cuppa, of course. We can pretend we're in a Laura Ashley advert or something. And a wasp will sting me, because even my Fantasy Self is prone to pratfalls.:rotfl:

Meanwhile, back in the real world, I spent over 3 hours on my allotment (on the top of a long slope, very windy) being blown around. I was wearing army surplus trews, DMs with steel toes, a man's anorak and my black burglar hat whilst I wielded fork and spade and wheelbarrow.

Photogenic? Err, no, but I got a lot done and came home to have a lovely bath and hairwash so am now clean & casual as opposed to scruffy and manky.

You can always tell the newbie allotmenteers. Veterans dress like Wurzel Gummidge and have serious boots. Noobs are hatless and wearing floral wellies. It's very difficult to be taken seriously in floral wellies, isn't it?:...

I need to own up to having a trug (anniversary gift from DH) and floral, actually Laura Ashley, gloves (gift from my BF) And I have pink wellies, although I've had my lottie for six years!

GreyQueen

But they're plain pink not floral pink wellies, yes?

I moved another half-tonne of spent barley grains from the communal heap over to my allotment today. Recent delivery and smelling beautifully beer-y.

Some people cook with beer, our allotment site grows with it. And I had hops, too!
