I’m feeling slightly perkier today. I think I feel that the end is in sight of this cold harsh winter. January is a month that forces you to look at where you have got to.. a natural planning month.. what is the year going to bring, what do you want 2010 to be. But February is a month of getting ready for Spring, which is just around the corner. More light, more growth. Perhaps we should all work to a financial calendar instead and see Spring as the start of the Year. It would make more sense. Instead we start a year when nature is essentially closed down.

Scrambled Egg, bacon and Toast

Breakfast today was yummy. Crisp bacon, creamy eggs and nutty bread toasted to perfections. This is what Sunday’s were made for.

I had to finish a presentation before we went out for our shopping. Frome today and Sainsbury. We haven’t been for a few weeks. However it made sense today as we needs to go to some of the other stores in the area. Bird food and a coax cable for a neighbour.

Quorn Hotdogs and Onions

Lunch was super quick after we unpacked the groceries. Quorn Hot-dogs served in a Torpedo Roll, with mustard, ketchup and onions. For afters, a Suchard Tassimo Hot Chocolate and some Green and Blacks Butterscotch Chocolate. Just the thing for an afternoon off.

Green and Blacks Chocolate

Washing and icing of a chocolate cake await.

My daughter popped in on here return from Cardiff, where she has spent the weekend with some friends… it seems to have been a bit of a Gavin and Stacey Pilgrimage. They went to Barry Island… bless.

Chicken en Croute and Roast Brussels

Dinner was a Chicken en Croute with mashed potato and roast brussels with balsamic vinegar. I love the green stuff. While others in my family tolerate them, I just can’t get enough.. hot, cold, doesn’t matter.

Mocha Cake

This was followed by Chocolate Cake… actually it was a Mocha cake because I put a fresh espresso coffee in the mix. This is completely yummy, and I think is the main reason that my daughter called today. 🙂
