Been slacking

 I have been on a roll trying to do something constructive every day while Tina is away, been a definite down turn today! I have been feeling quite tired, part heat, part restless nights and part old age! I did go to the post box early and to the shop before visiting Bel. She is feeling old as well but as she is on her nineties with a much better reason than me!

I did decide to make a cake,  and made a nutty Madeira cake had ground almonds and chopped nuts left over from  the .Christmas cake baking. It turned out okay, we tried it after dinner.


I was waiting for the veg delivery as was making cauliflower cheese for dinner and had left over bacon and sausages to add to it. I did work a bit on the jigsaw and sat down for a while and dozed off!

Continuing the unmotivated theme I had topped up the bird baths but am not going to water tonight! Maybe I will get a second wind!

  1. You can't be on a roll every day. I'd be happy to be on a roll a few days each month! Old ages comes into it, but a lot of it is down to the heat we've suffered lately. We're just not used to it and don't cope very well!
    The cake looks lovely, so you have done productive things. Ask Darren as I'm sure he's happy with the results of your days productivity.
    Your day still sounds like a busy one compared to mine. I've mainly sat and stared at a computer!
    The garden will survive until tomorrow, I'm sure. Maybe it'll be a bit cooler and we'll feel better for it.

  2. The cake is quite tasty and it should keep Darren going for a few days.
    Dinner did turn out quite well too.
    It has clouded over a bit now but still very warm, maybe tomorrow will be cooler.🤞
