This is a pretty accurate lists of all the things that have been flitting through my head in the last week or two. I need to switch my brain off..
- I’m on the verge of demob/birthday fever. Nine more days and week off, I’m more than ready…
- It’s not really rest, but it’ll be nice not having to be up at 6am every morning, I’m going to be busy but mostly with the things I like to do – cooking, allotmenting and so on.
- One of those days will be devoted to Joe-proofing the house. Oli was containable (although he did manage to reverse the up and down volume directions on one of my radios) but Joe is unstopable.
- Although he really banged his head at the weekend and had a massive bump. Poor baby, poor Lu..
- Ben tells me he’s looking forwards to seeing the allotment
- I went to the library for a book they didn’t have but came out with 3 more. Like I have time to read at the minute
- I need to make a list of what’s growing and for Oli to go and guess, last year he and Tabitha tied. He was sad that he only got £2, Tabitha was overjoyed because Jo doesn’t do pocket money..
- Which reminds me, I need to call/text Jo
- What am I going to cook the ravenous hordes for my birthday lunch? Who have I invited? Ben, Lu, Oli, Joe, Ma. Georgie & Zeke. Are Kathy and Adam coming with their two? Is Sarah? I have no idea.
- I do know who’s coming to gin club, that’s Friday.
- I need to clean everything if I’m going to have people that aren’t Ma in the flat
- And make sure there’s something for breakfast
- I need to water the plot
- I hate laundry. It’s a never ending task
- Why am I so tired?
- Where did my phone go? It doesn’t go places, you left it somewhere…
- I feel like I’m never going to eat all the vegetables I’m growing
- The plum jam didn’t set
- My head hurts..
Loose jam is called compote. Enjoy 😊
Compote is less sweet, I’m calling it ‘french’ as their jam is naturally a bit runnier!! Plum jam is my nemesis, it’s either runny or over set. No idea why I can’t crack it but it’s been this way since I first tried!
