Sorting the freezer and cooking!

I am staying in quite a lot, it was a damp grey day today so not gardening weather. I did pop to the shop for flour and one or two other bits, not a lot of people around again. The bed with the magnolia tree in is looking lovely, the primulas were ones that the council discarded last your, and now the flowers on the tree are opening.

I tidied the freezer a bit so that I could store the ready meals I have made together. Took out some fruit from last year, strawberries and blackberries, some sausage meat and lamb to put in the slow cooker for my tea. I bought turkey mince yesterday and was going to make lasagne for Darren and Tina with extra portions for the freezer. Got plenty of veg over the road and then spent quite a time preparing and cooking the lasagne and a fruit crumble, also got the slow cooker on.

Tina came in about 2 pm when I had just about finished all the clearing away, so we had a late lunch and then she drove us up to Freeport to get a few bits at the Pound Stretcher. We did have a coffee and Tina was meeting one of her colleagues for a quick chat. When we got home I quickly made up a small batch of pastry to use the sausage meat I had got out to defrost! Darren and Tina both really like sausage rolls so they are going down well.

The pre assessment team at the hospital got in touch to get another update on my blood pressure. If it stays the same or hopefully a little better it should be fine for surgery providing I don’t decide to peak on surgery day!

Back to sorting this evening for a bit.
