Things finally caught
up with me today and I was obliged to spend the greater part of it in
my nice snug bed. I managed to make the ,morning coffee,God knoweth
how? Getting out of bed felt like like climbing out of a deep well
and it took me a good half hour to pull myself together and actually
get the coffee to the boys.
With the house playing
host to a game we needed to get moving and the three of us met in the
kitchen in various states of disarray at nine thirty. In a rash
moment I have promised the boys bacon rolls for Sunday breakfast and
although they were willing to release me from my promise I fried of
lots of streaky bacon and place a basket of soft breakfast rolls on
the table and as they quick;y vanished I was glad I had kept my word.
We tackled the washing
up between us and before the first gamer arrived I was safely
snuggled under a very soft fleece,where at last I slept.
I woke at three in the
afternoon and felt energetic enough to wash my hair and tidy my room
a little.
For dinner served up
the remainder of a large lamb shoulder which we have yesterday with
Dauphinois potatoes. Tonight I served it with mashed potato, five
root mash, which included celeriac and mint sauce. The meat thinly
sliced was placed in a roasting dish, topped with a rich gravy and
the heated in the oven until boiling.
Now seated at my desk I
am tired once again and hope that with luck I shall sleep tonight.
Staying awake while
writing is a problem these days and while I can fall asleep at my
computer or at the dinner table once I get in to bed sleep eludes me
until about six in the morning.
For now I am off to
watch “Top Gear” with my son. Enjoy your evening.
