Saturday morning

 Good morning all. It is dull and miserable this morning but currently, it is still dry and not a breath of wind.

Yesterday was a good day in the kitchen and I left the bone broth to depressurise naturally.  So it will be today's job to strain it off. The new toy is a nice upgrade on my old one so I don't feel too guilty.  On the menu today I have a turkey thigh to roast and I think I will do cabbage and leek by way of vegetables.

I did a bit of embroidery in poor light and this morning it will be unpicked as in the cold light of day I am not happy with the results. Fortunately, they supply way too much yarn so redoing a section is not a problem.

I am hopeful that the indicator light bulb will arrive soon and we can finally get the car back to a legal position.  I am still reeling from the shock of having to get a bulb from the USA.

Well that's about it life is a bit on the boring side, to say the least. If you saw the film Groundhog Day you will know what I mean.

Have a good day whatever you have planned.

    I don't think you need feel guilty about getting something that goes with an activity you really love doing. You will use it a lot and that's what matters.
    Have a good day and I hope it's not as boring as you think it might be.

Friday morning

 Good morning all it’s a frosty cold but sunny day in fact a proper winters day. Tomorrow there will be rugby to watch.  I must admit I haven’t watched any of the Winter Olympics it’s not my thing.  I must admit I have never fancied skiing I can fall over on carpet. My tripe arrives today and I have made the mirepoix ready so just some simmering to do.   I think I might use the slow cooker the hopefully it will be ready for supper. Well my cup is empty and I hear the shower calling so time to get on.  I will be staying in the warm and playing in the kitchen.  Have a good day and stay warm.

Thursday morning

Good morning all well it is raining which is kind of par for the course.  This week has been one to forget as soon a possible.  Yesterday should have been a good day and despite feeling rubbish, I pushed on and got things organised for Shiona's visit.  So you can imagine how delighted I was when she didn't turn up.  She forgot.  So the boys and I had a nice lunch and I then took to my room and watched a lecture by Jordan Peterson which took my mind off my disappointment.  It is reassuring to hear someone of such intellect say that life is hard and nasty.  His latest book "12 rules for life an antidote to chaos" is a book that I have read once and I still pick up and reread the odd chapter when chaos is looming. So today I will be cooking the quails for lunch as the three of us will be here but as yet I haven't decided what to do with them.  I quite fancy Gnocchi Alla Romana but if I want them I will have to get a move on as the polenta has to...
