Happily nipped down to make the tea this morning whether it was my turn or not. Always nice to get home innit. Cooling down a bit to the extent that we now have the thick counterpane on the bed so the act of getting up was not without a mild element of effort. V cosy under the duvet. We are a long way from needing to put the heating on. Not at the thick jumper stage yet. I do have a very nice BlackYak woollen job made in the Himalayas that I wore all last winter. You can get away without a coat when wearing that jumper. I might go through my jumper collection and take some to the charity shop. See how it goes. There will be some there I’ve not worn for years. Probably even forgot I have them. Just imagine what it was like in the past without double glazing or central heating and a draughty house. Within living memory. Brrr.
I did stick the heating on in the shed yesterday when we got home and promptly forgot to switch it off when I came back to the house. Will be toasty there this morning.
Going to treat meself to a bacon sarnie for breakfast. Not had one for a few days. Certainly not whilst away in Berlin. Hotels in the UK struggle to provide decent bacon and ones abroad have no chance. Even those that try, as is generally the case at Hiltons, it’s always overcooked streaky rubbish designed solely for American visitors who are clueless when it comes to bacon. Don’t get me wrong. Streaky bacon is good but it doesn’t want to be too thin and certainly not cooked to a brittle frazzle.
I have bread in as I bought some when I did an emergency dash to the coop last night for a tin of beans to go with my fishfingers. We thought we had some in the utility room but visits from offspring had depleted the stocks to the point of exhaustion. We wouldn’t do without them obvs (both beans and offspring). Baked beans are now £4.75 for a four pack! Wtf!! Luxury food!!!
Anyway the curtains have been flung open and daylight is streaming in, heralding the dawn. Moreover my phone is down to 15% charge. Time to get up. There is bacon to cook. Bread to toast. Battery to charge.
Ciao bebes.
