Wednesday

Not much doing today really.

I took some trousers over to the dressmaker this morning to have them shortened. I am missing the clothes I left in the UK when we were over in May. We left a lot there as we thought we were going back and now I could do with my jeans particularly.

I decided to have a coffee while I was out even though it was early.

I got back and made a Weightwatchers biscuit recipe but the amount of cranberries in the recipe was too many and they fell out so it was a waste. I would make them again but with less cranberries. I also made a rhubarb cake and some baked rhubarb with orange juice to have for breakfast.

I tried to take Totty out and she was unbelievably bad today and would not walk down the road so we went home as I feel stupid 'dragging' her down the street.

I had my lunch and then went over to Bethlehem to the book rooms. I was helping with the magazines again there are soooo many. It is amazing the combinations of 'house, home garden and beautiful' you can get for the titles.

We had afternoon tea but I was a good girl today and resisted apart from a cup of tea.

I got back home and fed Totty and watched Neighbours before cooking dinner. We had Israeli couscous tonight cooked with leek and then fried chicken with cumin seeds which was all very nice. We are still eating the cheesecake that I made at the weekend - very good value.

The weather has been really bad in Christchurch with gale force winds causing a lot of damage. It is moving up the country and will hit us tomorrow but not as bad as they had today so I think I might stay indoors tomorrow.


WEATHER
Cloudy with sunny spells 18 degrees
