The weekend came and went very quickly, the days seem to be merging into each other. My heart goes out to all those who are home schooling and trying to juggle working from home. My own three daughters are managing and I am sure are doing a great job but they feel as if they are lacking. They are doing the best that they can along with everyone else and that is all anyone can ask of them. The cases of the coronavirus is still rising and I do wonder how long it will take to reach its peak prior to the numbers coming down. In the meantime the vaccine programme continues and for that I am truly thankful.
I did have my usual baking session over the weekend, baking cheese and mustard scones to go with soup. I have a couple of batches that need to be used from the freezer. I also made some sausage rolls that will make a lovely lunch along with some homemade coleslaw. Finally, a batch of mince pies with a crumble top just because...
The mince pie was also topped with a pecan, heaven in a pastry case. Each recipe broken down to smaller portions to there is no waste.
Saturday evening we had our treat meal of the week which consisted of steak, grilled tomato, chips and peas. We really enjoyed it as we don't eat a lot of red meat or indeed chips so it is a real treat to have both in a meal.
All the laundry has been done, washed, dried and ironed. The Christmas linen is waiting to be packed away a job for today. The cottage has been cleaned from top to bottom. A programme of deep cleaning has started, a few extra jobs a day. Today was to declutter and clean the kitchen drawers, a task that has been needed doing for sometime. Its amazing how much longer a job can take to do than first anticipated. The windows need cleaning both inside and out, but the weather is not conducive to this task. Tomorrow is another day.
A short post, hopefully I will have more to share tomorrow. Take care and stay safe. A warm welcome to new followers, I do hope you enjoy my little adventures through life.
