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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🙂
