This morning I did some chores and took it easy. Went to lunch with Sher at Mondo, I picked the smoke salmon with cream cheese with rocket, pickled onion and capers. I didn’t want the pickled onion and asked the waitress what capers tasted like. She brought two out on a dish for Sher and I to try, we wish we hadn’t! So I didn’t have those either! The rest of it was tasty. We chatted for a while then decided to have a cream scone, very nicely presented.
I did walk down to the newsagents and bought a selection of their incredibly cheap cards. My hip was causing me a lot of pain, took my mind off the knees and calves for a bit!
Tina and I gathered together the items for the auction man to look at and tell us they would take. Some they will and some they won’t, we will get a list soon but they won’t be collected until the new year.
Dom, the gas engineer came early afternoon and we now have a working boiler and heat and hot water, thank goodness.
I am delivering the last cake tomorrow. I do have one more to go but that one will be collected.
Your lunch sounded nice and the scone looks lovely. Capers are nice, I like them. It’s what they use to make tartare sauce for fish. Can’t beat tartare sauce with fish and chips 😊
ReplyDeleteSee, there’s always there’s always a bright side to having a bad hip. I’ve not found one yet, but hopefully will soon!
I bet it’s really nice to have heat in the house again. I imagine you’ve had it on full blast to get the house back up to a decent temperature. We do rely on gas such a lot. I say bring back coal fires. I know they were a pain to make sometimes, but they are lovely to sit by 😊
Nearly at the end of the cake era. That’s quite sad really ☹️
Enjoy a warm evening 🔥
I like tartare sauce but definitely did not like the caper on its own!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely having the heat back on, and no more boiling kettles to wash and do the dishes.
Yes, it will be strange not to be starting the cake marathon.
