Another string to my bow

Last night, the WI went out for supper at our new favourite restaurant.  I have to say that I loved the starter (Sadly n picture - it went down too quickly!) of pork belly on black pudding - but the fillet steak was as wonder as usual.  However I was good and resisted the puddings - just had a coffee - but they did look good!

Today was my turn to  help the aged pop round to Mum and Dad's - in theory it was to start organising the garage which has been a dumping ground since they moved in.  However the task had changed into a shed demolition - just a ten minute job!! Oh yeah - with about a hundred people - maybe.  We only started to make a dent in the job when Dad came over with a crowbar (he had been painting The Lodge prior to fitting it up with electrics and heating).  Several hours later and we had the shed mainly demolished, sawn / hacked into car size pieces and one load transported to the tip.  We then loaded the dishwasher into the car ready to do a tip run tomorrow - and they will add more shed to the car in the morning (there are too many creepy crawlies running all over the wood to risk it being in the car over night - remember your experience TT&T?






In fact we worked so hard that we didn't sit down for lunch until gone 3pm - but Daisy is in training for perfect begging dog!








Back home and I just have time to write this blog and pop a jacket into the oven before settling down for the evening.  I don't know about you but the temperature is dropping here so keep warm everyone.  I picked up some ham knuckles today - it won't be long before we start on some serious soup making!
