A glorious day today. Blue sky and sunshine all day. Should have gone for a walk and done some gardening. Instead, I cleaned roof light bedroom windows, and windows of mould, cobwebs, spiders and dead flies. Yuck! I feel very pleased with myself, have been putting it off for so long. I still need to go around them all again to clean the glass properly but my shoulders gave up on me. Finally picked the last of the green tomatoes, I am going to try cooking some of the tomatoes South American Style. Sliced, dried, floured, egg and buttermilked, corn mealed then fried. Serve with hot sauce which I guess means chilli sauce. Or dipping sauce of choice, I might try Sweet and Sour. Defrosted some apple slices and blackcurrants to make a crumble.
I think I must be pregnant, I have the nesting bug! Not only did I clean the windows yesterday, but I have started cleaning my oven, ready for Christmas. A job I loathe so do not do as often as I should. Another glorious morning so a beach walk is definitely on the cards. Very heavy rain during the night so everything in the garden is sodden so no gardening yet again.
I've taken a day off from de-cluttering today as it was dry and sunny, repotted a big heather into a big pot temporarily and planted last year's left over tulips into two big pots and stashed them safely in the greenhouse away from the squirrels.
Cleared the lawn of sycamore seeds - again. It's a bit like weeding. It's the season for it! Generally tidying up in preparation for the new house owners.
Lawn still too wet for mowing, but I turned two dalek bins into the Rotol, layering with rock dust. Lots of brandlings in the third bin, I topped it off with kitchen trimmings for them to eat. I bought some more bulbs from Lidl, a couple of large tubs to fill.
I experimented with cleaning my kettle by putting it inside a swing bin liner, coating it with oven cleaner solution, and left it overnight. It was like magic. I now have a kettle which looks like new. Yeh! (It is not an electric kettle by the way.) Little things please little minds. I have repeated the idea with my frying pan. Same thing, looks like new. I am still working on the oven. Robbie and I had a lovely walk before coming home and going to sleep for a couple of hours! I did do a shop in a supermarket on the way home, I was totally overwhelmed with the amount of "stuff for Christmas", especially down the centre aisles! Heavy rain again last night. Still raining so onwards and upwards with the cleaning. I have to contact an electrician today as the macerator in the en-suite of my bedroom made a weird noise last night and there was water on the downstairs floor this morning. How much is that going to cost to repair? I want some dry weather so I can do some gardening!
As would what I have done this morning. I took a cutting from my Lime tree two years ago, and today have used the four first limes from it to make lime curd. Not a full batch as small ish limes, but they are gold to me as I love lime curd! Oops I just noticed the wrong date!😊
