It's only just lunch time and I have stripped the bed... washed all the bedding and put it out on the line in the hope it might dry. Put another load in to wash and then put that on the line too. There is a third load sloshing about in the machine as I type. Then I remade the bed with fresh bedding. Removed all trace of Christmas from my bathroom and replaced it with some lovely fresh green plants. It looks like a little oasis of calm now. Then I made a huge pan of spicy veggie soup with carrots, onions, parsnip, turnip, courgette and ginger. I added turmeric, cumin, black pepper, half a stock cube and a good teaspoon of marmite and I picked a large curly kale leaf from the garden to add some extra nourishment to it. There are less than 200 calories in the entire pan full and there's easily four large bowls of it in the pan. I was a bit generous grating ginger into the soup but it will clear my cold if nothing else.

It looks lovely and clean and tidy. I really must make a start on mine, although I did demolish the pile of ironing this morning, which was quite an achievement. X
ReplyDeleteI think it must be 'cleaning season'.
DeleteWhat a lovely bathroom you have.
ReplyDeleteI love any kind of soup, low fat and nourishing, always a winner.x
It's soup weather isn't it. Hot, filling soup is what I crave this time of year
DeleteSoup is so satisfying in the winter. I hope your cold clears off soon.
ReplyDeleteI really wish it would clear off. I have had it for more than a month now
DeleteI started by doing the ironing then cleaned the bathrooms. I then did more decluttering and sorted into bags for the various recipients. I’m having two friends over for coffee tomorrow so the place is looking quite tidy. When they have gone, the decorations are coming down and normality restored. Need to do some deep cleaning in the bedroom and then I will allow myself yo take put the sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteI have plans to do a lot more sewing this year
