Simple living in the country - back to basics

In my defence, I did check the weather - BBC weather is currently giving 10% chance of rain right now 😂 but that gets less as the day goes on so I might be ok!

The weather seems fairly ‘opinionated’ atm! 😂 My washing is drying in spite of the humidity, so hopefully yours will too.

It would dry more quickly if I put it on the line rather than leaving it soggy in the washing machine 🙄😂

Been doing some batch cooking. Did I say I was jumping on the Joe Wicks bandwagon again?? Well, I am, and doing a bit of preparing meals in advance.

Made 2 spare lots of leek and mushroom pasta yesterday - that's tonight's tea and dinner tomorrow.

Today I made 4 lots of cauliflower cheese - just ate one, 3 will go in the freezer.

And made 7 batches of granola, which I might weigh out into little gmbags save having to weigh 1st thing in the morning. 

If nothing else it's actually made me plan over a week's worth of meals and exercise and I do actually seem to be sticking to my plans so far so fingers crossed!

The leek and mushroom pasta sounds good! 😊 I might have a look at that as I still have some prepped HG leeks in the freezer that need consuming 😊

The meal prep sounds super organised! 

I've also not timed the washing well. I've heard some thunder and perhaps one or two drops....fingers crossed for both of us

It has just started to rain here but washing bought in minutes before thankfully.  Just planted some plants out so hopefully there will be enough rain to water them in a little

Heavy rain shower just as washing was dry. Ran out and rescued it and it is all across the airer now.

I'd hoped that putting the washing on the line might make it rain...

We had rain In the morning here on the washing I left out in the dark ? and it’s cleared now and dried it so got it on before it dared to rain again 😂

I did a Norwegian fjord cruise a couple of months ago and it was the first time I’d done a real cruise - the overnight to Bruge Party boats don’t count ! Tbh I wasn’t sure before we went but would absolutely do another now,  we all loved it.

I put washing up to dry in the summer house yesterday on a jury rigged shower curtain pole.  It rained overnight and the temps dropped a lot, so it's taken all day today to dry.

We also put together a flat pack bistro set & garden bench thinking it would be a beautiful evening and could sit out and have dinner.  The temp dropped even more & the heavens decided to open.  Dried laundry has been brought in and garden furniture now resides in the summer house along with the gorgeous vase of flowers from the garden that was residing on the bistro table.  SIGH - why does the weather not do what the forecasters say it's going to do? 🤣🤣🤣
