Trying to Become a Good Housewife

I started off this morning with a washing "oh, not again!" you cry, but I was thinking about what I was doing as I put the wash into the tumble dryer and carried two wool jumpers that can't be tumble dried upstairs and laid them on a large towel on my bed.

So, what I was thinking was that I was actually starting to get organised with cycling my jumpers. Instead of just hanging clean ones away next to others (which were clean of course, but not newly washed) I am hanging the washed ones on the other side of the wardrobe, with the idea that I wear only the ones that are on the not-washed side of the wardrobe.

And to think it took me 67 years to get that far!

Mind you there was a long time in my life when I didn't have enough clothes to make that necessary....

So, that done I went to prepare the evening meal and was torn between making a macaroni cheese or a potato salad. I decided on the potato salad and had all the work done (including frying the lardons) when I discovered that I had no shallots or even onions. So the cooked potatoes are now in a jug covered with foil and the lardons are on a covered plate.

So it was back to square one again.

Now the macaroni is boiled and the cheese is grated, so all I have to do now is make the cheese sauce. I felt I was due a rest at this point so I came to talk to you lot out there.

Never mind, shallots will arrive tomorrow and otherwise nearly all the work is done for that meal too.
