How lovely for you to see the twins Annette, it must have been a very touching experience for you. Great news that you've got an appointment for your jab and at a civilised time too!
Caroline, I can't believe how the situation with the dogs has gone on like this, it's ridiculous. If the owners have a problem with them escaping they should put them on a long chain. Not a particularly nice solution but they don't seem prepared to do anything else. And the dog warden needs to get his finger out! I'm getting annoyed on your behalf!
The cod you made sounds delicious, you're so imaginative with the accompaniments.
My day:
Had quite a busy day today. It wasn't lack of motivation that led me to doing very little on Thursday, it was more the lack of opportunity. My sister was on the phone for so long it took up the biggest part of the afternoon!
Got myself out for a walk in the morning (not early) so I'd have plenty of time to have lunch and prepare for art class. It wasn't as cold as it has been recently, there was some heavy rain last night and I was surprised to see that there were still some large puddles in the woods.
Had the last of my homemade sweet potato and carrot soup that had been in the freezer. Got everything out for the class. I hadn't had a reply from the teacher about my painting to date so was hoping I wouldn't be too far behind. I'd had a go at the homework, fireworks done in Brusho which is a powdered pigment. It's very random to use, it only took me a short time and I added some bits with chalk pastels. Thought I may as well send it so took a photo and did so. I was amazed that the teacher absolutely loved it.
The paintings we were doing demanded a lot of concentration, we've all felt that this one has been quite a challenge. The connection dropped out several times, once when the class had hardly started but we managed to have a successful class. As usual it overran, we so get our money's worth from our lovely teacher. Felt quite exhausted at the end.
Hadn't taken anything out of the freezer or planned what to eat so had some breaded fish that I could cook from frozen, jacket potato, sweetcorn, tomatoes and peas. Usual berries and yogurt to follow. Had a glass of wine later, watched some Doc Martin. Bath, bed, catching up on RC.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
