Some time later.....

Where did the time go? 
Did it evaporate?
Am I lost in a time warp?
No.
I have been a busy bee, flitting from room to room. Moving things, some have moved right out of the house.
The sunshine and warm days have meant longer and slower walks and lots of garden time.
Washing pegged out in the warm bright air, windows and doors flung wide open. All conspire to make the whole house smell so fresh.
We now have storm Freya lurking in the wings, making ready to cause chaos with heavy rain and strong wind.
But, right now it is just a bit breezy, the sun is shining and the garden is a warm and welcoming place to be.
I hope to get out there soon, just have to do a bit more of that housewifey stuff first.
I will be totally honest here, I have done more housework in the past 2 weeks than possibly the past 2 years. That is probably a slight exaggeration, but that is how it feels. 
What is very strange is that, once over the shock to my system, I am quite liking it. Perhaps I am coming down with a virus.

I do make a daily list of things that I want to achieve, without it I would just potter about aimlessly and get nothing done. I shopped yesterday and that is is for a week. It was not particularly large but I did stock up the medicine cabinet, I will need to make a proper list for that ready for the next shop.

Dog stuff filled a bag, they needed shampoo, cream for Ben's dry patches as well as food and tooth chews. I know that Vet's say they are a waste of money but both dogs enjoy them, and so important for Herbie they contain very few calories.
Ben has never had a weight problem but Herbie, like me, only has to look at a dish of food and get fatter. He is so active that it is really a pity but it is what it is and we deal with it.

I picked up a huge bag of Coriander, reduced by 2/3rds to 85P. It went in 2 recipes (and I was generous with it) and a load was chopped and frozen. It freezes very well, I store it in a rigid plastic box and use it straight from the freezer.

I have started 2 projects with my yarn haul from Tuesday, both in their infancy, as soon as there is enough to see I will share.

Apart from all of that I can think of little to write today, my mind is in the garden I think.

We had a Green Thai Curry with Sticky Jasmine Rice, it was okay but I felt that I should have put more ginger and lemon grass in. 

Tonight we are having a crustless quiche, stuffed with lots of veg and the end of a pack of St Augur cheese, some of the Coriander and some fresh mint from the garden.

I think that is it for now, back to the job list and then, fingers crossed, the garden. I have some purple primroses to go in the window box, once the winter pansies have been removed.

I hope that you are all keeping well, in spite of the variations in the weather. There have been some real extremes out there.
20c plus.
In Wales. 
In February!!
