It seems the less I do the harder it is to wake up, another rubbish nights sleep with every member of my family managing to wake me at least once and the worlds loudest snoring chihuahua in my ear all adding to my insomnia meaning I emerged from my pit around 08:30 feeling like I’d had a night on the razzle, the weather is overcast but without the arctic blast we had yesterday, I long for the sun to come back!
Homeschooling was never going to go well with both Fabian and I off colour so 1 played it safe and let him choose what we did, this started well looking at castle defences and and siege weapons as it’s right up his street but I let my guard slip and before I knew it he jumped on YouTube to “look something up” in the blink of an eye we had moved from Dover Castle defences to watching urban explorers in the ww2 tunnels around Dover, if only his project was on that, as he’s surely one of the worlds leading experts in the subject.
Sorry readers, it’s not been an exciting day at all, mostly answering emails and phone calls for work, it’s good orders are trickling in but not enough to keep the wolf from the door, still it will get me out of the house tomorrow and I feel a bit like a caged lion today so need some time out. Gary came home early ish clutching another two giant Easter eggs, I asked why for the love of god did he get more but he was very proud he’d got them for 50p each, I can’t even look at them! I thought I’d set him to work painting it lasted twenty mins before he decided his stomach was hurting, call me suspicious but he did the same thing last week……maybe he’s allergic.
Breakfast was chunky whole meal toast with strawberry jam, lunch was soup in three different varieties to suit everyone’s different tastes, dinner was the fantastic hunters chicken I made (no hunters were harmed in the making of this dish) served with homemade sweet potato wedges and sweetcorn fritters, now it’s the first time I’ve made sweetcorn fritters but all this spare time watching cookery programs has spurred me on to expand my repertoire and we can thank the Hairy Bikers for this gem of a recipe……if only I’d read it more carefully and not added 300ml of milk to the batter, I couldn’t understand why the hell it was like soup on rereading the ingredients turns out it should have been 30ml……..an awful lot of ingredients later and the mixture is thick enough for a dropping consistency and enough to make about 30!!! Pudding was the dogs doo dahs of bakwell tarts still warm served with clotted cream, surely this lot will make me sleep!
Never missing an opportunity to see Cambodia, Pru Leiths program about looking for her adopted daughters birth parents was essential viewing…..well that brought on the tears but I was very excited to see they were staying in the Amanjaya the same hotel I did in Phnom Penh. I the. Caught up with Our Girl……bloody hell more waterworks, why do they make it so sad?? Millie got to choose the late night viewing and what a brilliant choice, we started rerunning the Bad Education series, Jack Whitehall is simply brilliant and just what I need to lift me out of my moody blues.
Bastard cats won’t come in and the chihuahua is already on my bed snoring her box off, this was not the relaxing bedtime I was longing for!
Life but not as we know it
