    Afternoon all :)
    Boo, it is raining again :(
    Today's list:
    Cooked fruit from freezer with breakfast
    Washing draped on airer due to the rain
    Usual kitchen tidy up etc
    Made a loaf in the BM
    Walked into town as I wanted to buy some frozen peppers and mushrooms in Icyland. Popped into butcher's next door and picked up one of their £20 freezer meat deals, plus 2 packs of bacon mis shapes at £1 each. OH is currently sorting through these to divide into largish flat bits suitable for sandwiches etc and small bits for soup or quiches. Will freeze most of it. We are  lucky to have 2 really good butchers in our small town! And they survive, despite also having lots of supermarkets on the outskirts of the town. Supermarkets aren't that cheap for meat, the butcher can often do better price wise, and much of the meat is local, too.
    Lunch was fresh, warm bread with cheese and HM chutney
    Dinner will be pork steaks from the freezer (I think! Might be gammon I suppose :p ), but doesn't matter really.
    This afternoon, as it is too wet for gardening, I will sort out the freezers. I have been concentrating on running them down, but it doesn't seem the right time, for various reasons, to be low on stock atm. I will compromise by separating the older items onto separate shelves and using them first. May get some stuff out for batch cooking.
