Freezer a bit better organised as son brought apples from neighbour , and my apples are starting to fall so might pick them today and make more sauce but some not completely “ fallen” so there are pieces in the pies .
Bramleys do fall so well .
When I say fallen in the cooking sense I mean not absolute mush.
Had an accident yesterday, nit me, my lovely silk and wool rug .
A light saxe blue ,patterned.
Was a bit lazy abd too a mug of tomato soup In to the lounge, missed the little coaster where I put my cuppas abd it tilted over——- big splash on the rug.Scraped as much as I could with fish slice , sponged and sponged with a cloth wrung out in tepid water ,a little lemon juice sponging abd finally a very weak solution of carpet shampoo .
This morning all dry and no one but I can tell .
In a month or so it would under normal circumstances be turned to even wear ,when the big pre Christmas “ bottoming “ is done and then the stained part will be under the settee .But only I will know, it us barely discernible .
The rug never looks dirty.
Needs vacuuming yes, but soiled no.
Cost the earth but what a bargain in the long run.
I would love to see some of your art work Roobarb.
Mowsehowse ,you are lucky such a sting in the facial area was not worse.
Yes bee stings killl the bee as the barb means the sting pulls the bee’s innards out!
Caroline ,have you tried wrapping an old facecloth or such, soaked in vinegar,left a couple of hours and the calcium deposits should soften.
I used to put a bit of Vaseline round the tap where the water comes out.
Keeps it from building up ,just a bit.
Got some washing in. My work clothes, jogging bottoms and matching tops, have three sets , all comfy, cosy and hideous .
Navy, grey and maroon.Leisure suits!
Might make apple pie today, and a little one for neighbour.
I can sweeten mine with Canderel ,but hers with sugar,.
No plans really, must order Dairy Diaries ,they are handy ,and good to have in as extra presents.
I still have my sister in law’s and niece’s from last year, just not seen each other.
I expect the measures our area is now in place will not be lifted for Christmas,
so no visiting etc.
Ah well, safe as well as can be expected, warm and sheltered ,managing so just carry on .
Oooos post arrived, I leave it a while before opening it unless it looks like a hospital appointment .
So another day .
Keep on carrying on girls .
We can do it.
Viktoria.
Sancerre and steed ao
