Didn't have time to do a blog yesterday since we had some particularly awkward clues in the crossword so I was left with no time to do it. That is my excuse anyway. Very rainy yesterday, and the fields around here are looking like the Lake District. I don't ever remember them being so waterlogged, with the ditches looking more like rivers! You could go sailing along them.
Supposed to be the most miserable day of the year today, Monday and the 21st of January. I don't feel miserable really, maybe it is just those who have spant up after Christmas!
Yesterday, I made some Sourdough again, we did a big batch of dough, so we could use a third of it for the Pizza. It is a White Potato and Oatmeal loaf, and rose beautifully.
We belong to the National Shopping Monitor, (NSM) and when we go shopping we scan it all in the machine, and then send it off. We then get points which accumulate so now we have 175.678 points. 10.000 points are worth £10 and you can clain vouchers from stores like Argos. So today we have ordered 8 worth £80, and we will get a new Breadmaker. We have nearly worn out the old one, but we have had it for a long time.
We rarely buy bread now, except a small toastie loaf for Rusty!!
The Sourdough is excellent and generally lasts us all week.
Yesterday (Sunday) we had:
Sourdough Pizza with home made tomato sauce,
VT's Pizza mix..pineapple, vegetarian salami, Portobello mushrooms,Goats cheese, Absolutely Gorgeous.
Salad, with avocado, baby golden plum, tomatoes, pomegranite seeds!! cucumber, butterhead lettuce.

Monday we are having:
Soft Cheese and Ham style Escallopes,
Baby potatoes

VT has just come in to say that he went down for the coal and nearly got blown over it is so blowy!
