+++ Whoops! Here comes the cheese! +++

It's a minor miracle if there are any left by bedtime. Extra mature cheddar ones inhaled by my fellow residents today as I had the veg on for bread and roasting a chicken. One egg makes six or seven good sized scones which is plenty when they should be eaten within a few hours to be at their best. You can freeze them and reheat but still not as nice.

MrT have nice cherries for their FnV offer - £1.20 for 200g. Spanish red pacific - very good flavour and texture, I would buy again.

Your baking and the cherries sound delicious 😋

Yum to the baking.

mmmmm, cheese scones are one of the few things that make me curse having to avoid gluten.  There was a cafe where I used to live that put so much cheese on the top they basically would landside and ended up a messy pile of cheesy yum.

Thanks, I like baking, I shouldn't eat gluten either @RosaBernicia so it's hard work resisting sometimes.

The last few days we have narrowly avoided visitors twice, and today we came back from a shopping trip to someone on the doorstep who I thought I'd have to invite in and I'd have been ashamed of the dining room and snug.  It's time to crack down and tidy up downstairs. The kitchen and WC and hoovering I generally keep on top of but the rest is sliding into chaos. I can't even blame work anymore. Anyway, I need to alternate house half hours with garden half hours, and start attacking the clutter again.

At this time of year, I tend to split it between gardening first thing, then a breather, with housework after lunch when the UV levels are too high to work in the garden and then do a bit more late afternoon / evening, depending on who’s cooking! 😉

There is an amazing Brazilian cheese muffin that is made with cassava so gluten free ! My neighbour keeps promising me she will show me how to make them - will report back - they are insanely good

I have done some tidying, and the place looks better for it.  The simple act of putting things away is a very lost art in this household!

Loving the "GreenFly" thread Redo - have subscribed but working through it will take a while. Great name though - I clicked over thinking "Please let her have called it...YAY!"

Welcome back EH, I think the GreenFly idea first came up on my diary in 2018 only I then took the three month job at a few days notice that turned into five years and never had a spare minute again. I regret nothing in a work sense, and it meant we paid the mortgage off and mr redo could take early retirement but I do wish I had pulled the odd weed head off in between teams meetings.
