This morning after Tony set out for a walk with his friend I sorted space in the bedroom for the white Christmas tree. I keep looking at the TV that we never watch and think it might be going off to a charity shop as soon as they are open. There aren't many that actually take electrical things but I am determined that it should find a new home. The bedroom will look so much more spacious without it. It's had a good dust and polish in there so I can set to and put the tree up next weekend. I'll switch out the bedding for the Christmas set and switch the bathroom towels and bath mats for Christmas ones too.
When I'd finished the bedroom I looked out of the window at the lovely blue sky, sunshine kind of day that it is and decided to take myself off for a walk. It would be a shame to waste it on housework. I'm certain that there will be plenty of cold grey miserable days that I can stay home and clean.
Tea is a simple one tonight as I made a big pan of soup with the stock from cooking the gammon yesterday , I shredded some beetroot leaves, kale and chard from the garden and stirred it into the soup. The meat has been sliced thickly and will make some lovely main meals or lunches this coming week. The soup will probably make my lunch for the entire week as I don't use a large bowl. I plan on making a savoury soda bread with some finely chopped onion thinning's. Although they are barely the thickness of a blade of grass the flavour of the onions is really powerful and will make the bread really tasty. Hopefully you are all having a nice weekend. x
It has been lovely, I met my friend for coffee at the mobile caterer in Manningtree. I'm seeing more decorations appearing.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I miss just now is my morning game of Rummikub with my walking buddy. I will be glad when the lockdown is over.
DeleteYou always seem so well organised, that it puts me to shame. No walking here today as it is bucketing with rain & has done so most of the night. Lucky we got in a walk along beach yesterday even though it was very warm & frightfully muggy. Take care & hugs.
ReplyDeleteMy being organised comes in fits and spurts.
DeleteIt was lovely here too, sunny and cheerful. We have a frost to pay for the clear skies, of course, but that's a small price to pay for such sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThe soup sounds delicious!

Sadly it is blowing a gale out there, so staying indoors in the warm.
