Another wet day.

It rained all night and was still raining and very windy this morning. the tide was in and it looked very choppy out there.

I stayed in all day and to keep warm did a lot of housework and clearing out cupboards and drawers. We seem to gather a lot of junk. I have bagged it all up and will take it to the Red Cross on Friday.

Bronwyn called me and we arranged to go out for coffee on Wednesday after my osteopath appointment. I have since had a call to say the osteopath needs to change the time. I think I must have had the vacuum cleaner on as she left a message.

I did manage to get Totty out for a walk and it was surprisingly warm out of the house. The firewood people called to say that if it was dry tomorrow they would deliver the wood. the forecast is for dry so fingers crossed they are correct.

I had to try all the washing in the dryer today so it was going for most of the day.

I decided to make a coffee cake this afternoon. I have not had the best results since getting my new mixer and today was no exception, my cake sank!! After going onto the internet to find out why cakes sink I think I am being over zealous with my new mixer and over beating. So next time I will be more careful. The cake looks fine now it has the buttercream on it and I am sure it will taste OK.

When I was getting all the ingredients out of the pantry to make the cake I noticed mouse droppings on one of the shelves!!! I thought I had checked and cleaned all the shelves but as I don't use this one maybe I didn't. I found LOTS of mouse droppings on the shelf and had to clean it all. I really, really hope it was just missed and not another mouse!!!!

I cooked some lamb medallions for dinner with stir fry veg and we watched the end of the Coronation Street special of the top 50 scenes which was very enjoyable.

WEATHER
Wet and very windy all day 16 degrees.
