We had a shopping trip into St Affrique yesterday as we were completely out of Drain Cleaner and we needed Baileys and Gin. We still have 2 bags of sloes in the freezer from last year. On the drive to St Aff. the hills and valleys were covered in low flying cloud and fog on the Tarn, Rance and Sorgue rivers. Once we got into St Izaire and out of the hills the roadside was awash with colour. The Gorse is in full blossom, and there were Primroses and Poppies everywhere. The cliffs and rocks were covered in purple Saxifrage. It was quite beautiful.
Not too much planned. I need to garden, but this weekend is going to be torrential so thats that scuppered. And I fell out of bed again a couple of days ago and am not feeling myself.
Well thats the preamble over with.
Friday...I am butchering meat. The freezers are getting low. Chrissie is househunting on the Internet. Zooming in the evening. I must do a harder quiz this month.
Home made Soup and a Sandwich for tea.
Saturday...Chopping Firewood and Kindling. Surely it must get warmer soon. Its only around 7C in the daytime. A run to the dump in the morning. Generally potter about the house. Watch the Red Roses in the afternoon and avoid the football results until its all over.
Keema and Steamed Rice for tea.
Sunday...Probably finalise the Tax Return. I thought I had done it and planned to drop it in at the Tax Office in St Affrique. But never got around to it as it was out of our way and we had had enough. When we got back we had paperwork off the bank raising our Tax Allowance by 8k. Thank goodness we never went!!! Chrissie is making Sloe Gin.
Sezhuan Beef Stir Fry with Vegetables and Noodles. every time I went to China I came back with a bag of Sezhuan Pepper and we have loads of it.
Have a great weekend everyone.
