Tuesday morning

 Good morning all. It is bright and sunny today but who knows how long that will last.  I got on well with my mad stitching and I also had an idea.  My neighbour who painted the portrait of Basso has an art background so I rang and asked him if it would be possible to put a frame around the latest embroidery.  So today I will run it up to him for an opinion.  It is difficult to find uses for these embroideries which was always my concern.  However if framing is on then they can go to the charity shop.  The butterfly one is out of stock until January so I have ordered the swans by night.  This is relatively easy so far but I still have the swans wings to go and they are the most difficult.

Well that is my exciting news for the day.  There is no Denny as we are all in lockdown but purely by accident I discovered that Aldi do click and collect so I have put in an order for Thursday which is to be collected between 12pm and 1pm  and James has volunteered to pick it up. 

Ok now it is time for a shower and more coffee.  Have a good day and stay safe.

P.s. thank you Amazon needle threaders order yesterday arrived this morning.

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...
