  • Friday 26th October

     

    Another chilly-ish breezy blue sky day.

    Tim took Shanni & Ellie out mustering straight after breakfast.

    Apparently it all went well.

    Shoshannah took all these photos below.

    Firebug Timmy at it again!!

    Burning off fern.

    Look who found a sookie happy

     

     

     

    I got baking after I had my spa.

    I didn't intend to bake but when I went out to get a banana for my breakfast I found several that needed using so I proceeded to make a very large banana cake.

    I had to triple the recipe to fit the baking dish.

    It turned out really good.

    Then Mahalia decided to sort out all the bottles of flavourings and colours and candles.

    They were in a right pickle.

    She chose raspberry flavouring for the icing.

    Then we scattered pretty prissy pink sprinkles all over it.

    Everyone thought it was a birthday cake!!

    While it was baking I made a bacon & egg pie.

    I haven't made on in years so skipped onto the net to suss out a recipe.

    After looking at a couple I decided it was easy peasy and I would just do it myself.

    I put bacon, eggs, onion, cold potato, parsley, peas in it.

    It was pronounced delicious by Tim and the girls at lunch time.

    I had enough pastry left over to make another small pie so I filled it with veges and feta.

    It was delicious.

     

    After lunch Tim took Azzan & Mahalia up the hill when he went to open gates.

    It was great to get some quiet in the house.

    I lay down in the sun on the floor of my art corner and stretched out flat to unwind all the aching muscles.

    Shannie had a rest too.

    Ellie spent her day in the garden, tidying up the bank behind the house.

    I decided it was time I got back on the treadmill so after my rest I rolled off the floor and got walking.

    Had only done about a third of my workout when the phone went.

    It was Sebastian so I ended up having a long chat with him which was really good.

    Never got back onto the treadmill as it was time to get dinner cooked.

    Tim took Hali around to see Olly and replenish his water supply while I was getting onto it.

    I had a chicken in the slow cooker and veges were done fast so we had an early dinner for once.

    I think we ate at 6pm - miraculous!

    Then after dinner he went around to put Alan's boat back in the water.

    Azzan & Mahalia took a wad of newspaper & matches and a good supply of marshmallows so they could light up a bonfire around at the slip and do some marshmallow toasting for dessert.

     

    I was planning an early night but have gotten tied up with messages and phone calls.
