Oh What A Beautiful Morning....

....Oh what a beautiful day. (with apologies to Oklahoma.)

Yesterday as a contrast from the day before was a lovely day with the sun shining from a clear blue sky and temperatures up to 14.5 C. I needed sunglasses on and the air conditioning on in the car.

The Best Sister In The World came for a visit with a lovely 3-legged friend. She popped out to the shops and got me the toffee and marshmallows that I would need for my golden krispie recipe, along with some other goodies including to-die-for millionaire shortbread pieces. It is very dangerous to visit Thorntons…..

While she was out I went to finish some stuff on the computer, and when I went back, my 3-legged friend was lying looking very comfortable on the settee. I hadn’t the heart to push her off, and in fact didn’t mind at all. I decided to take a photograph, but before I could sister returned and she hopped off. Sister was most surprised that she was able to get up there, but I can promise she got no help from me.

After she left, I went to big supermarket that I don’t like, but needs must, and got the bun tin, a new roasting tin (mine was a disgrace!) and a couple of storage containers as well as some household and cooking things (like caster sugar and icing sugar as well as apples and brie.

It is so good to sit looking out at the sun shining on the honey coloured wall opposite. Hope it lasts.

Came back from said supermarket and realised I had forgotten a couple of things. So off I trudged (in the car!) to the near by supermarket and got the shopping finished. If the weather hadn’t been so good, you would never have tempted me out again.

So, what with 2 visits from sister (and 2 cups of tea) a successful shop and such lovely weather, it was a really good day.

Had a salad for my tea including my famous potato salad.

A Quick Update

A quick post to let my loyal reader know that I am still alive even though I still feel as though I have been run over by a truck.

This morning, good friend ,M (who lives here too), popped by for a cup of coffee, and this afternoon we got together over a gin and tonic with ice and a slice of lemon (I keep slices of lemon, separated with layering film, frozen in the freezer)

Today the painter came to gloss the front door of my flat, so I had to stay in with the door open for a good six hours. Nice and clean, but the colour scheme is a bit boring....

a . has tagged me in relation to my opinion of books divided into categories. I am working on doing this, but it is taking rather more time and thought than I expected, so watch this space, but don't hold your breath.
