(it sounds like the sequel to a horror movie).
After an absence of 2 weeks, I found everything a bit of a struggle, but in the end managed to do everything. Quite a few faces missing this week.
Afterwards I stopped off on my way home to visit the big garden centre where I had a most welcome glass of chilled lemon refresher (with a cheese scone and butter, of course).
Went on to buy two bigger pots for the windowsill parsley as it has obviously rooted well - in fact the roots are out of the bottom of the pot. Chose a dark brown one this time for a change.
I then went on to the food bit and picked up 1 garlic (I was horrified last week to find I was completely out), 2 good sized onions - again they were now finished as I used up the last two in the spinach soup last week. Along with that I bought some new potatoes a broccoli head and then went on to the butcher shop where I bought some lambs' liver (which I haven't eaten in ages), a sirloin steak and 3 lamb and mint sausages.
Okay, confession time - I also bought a bottle of Australian wine.
Back home quite exhausted, but feeling good.
I think another Dick Francis is called for!

Pardon the ignorance, but what is a Dick Francis?
Is he a novelist and you're craving one of his books?
Or is it one of those times where you say Dick Francis but you really mean a ham sandwich?
Do tell!

Dick Francis is a (famous in the UK) retired jockey, who since his retirement writes thrillers based on his knowledge of racing. The make uncomplicated reading, but are nonetheless very good
I have the entire collection, having been addicted to his writing for many a year... my bookshelves groan at times :0)
The mention of Spinach Soup in your blog prompted me to thank you. We had your soup today with some cheesey bread - youngest said it was even better than my courgette & potato soup! Humph.
very easy reading. but that is their joy, you can pick it up and put it down very easily like a comfortable pair of slippers for the mind.
