Monday morning

 Good morning all, it's a dull overcast morning and it's snowing, only tiny flakes but snow, not rain. It has been bitterly cold for the last few days so not really unexpected. I finally finished my embroidery and I am quite pleased with the results.




I have mounted up the next one which I am doing for Elaine. I have already done two rabbit ones and this will join the set.

On the menu today we have cabbage and bratwurst and maybe some spaetzle as the new toy has arrived

I know people complain about Amazon  but I hate to think how much shoe leather I would have had to use to find some of the strange things I have been able to buy with just a click of a button.

well I am gasping for some coffee so I am heading downstairs to fill my mug. Have good day and let's hope we can soon put the winter clothes away and we get some warmer weather.  I think Dan is feeling the chill now he only has his underwear on.  He is in and out to the garden in double-quick time.

    Poor old Dan! It's supposed to warm up soon.
    That embroidery has really come out beautifully.

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...
