Blowy Saturday..

Quite blowy today, all the trees at the back of the house are blowing away like mad, and it is looking quite Autumnal. Not worth putting the washing out because it has looked like rain all day, except that it hasn't yet.
Noathing doing anywhere really today, no post again. it seems that we don't get post on a Saturday much these days,and no parcels either today. VT went into Maghull this morning, he had to take the books he had cleared out yesterday to the Charity shops, so that has freed up a bit of space. The trouble is that you buy books, read them, and then put them away .Mostly they never get read again, so the best place is the Charity shops, then other people can read them, and the Charity gets some money. Mostly we use the Animal rescue ones, because of the cats, you feel that you are helping then.
jane's flowers are doing beautifully, bless her. They are quite scented, which is unusual these days. Especially roses, you don't seem to get scented roses any more. My Dad used to grow lovely roses, there was a climber on the back wall that was a mass of pink ones with a gorgeous smell, but you do have to know what you are doing with roses I think, and we don't.
Tonight we are having:
Curry..Delia's Egg and Spinach curry, with all the bits.
Poppadums,2
Onion and tomato and lime juice, and Banana.
4oz of rice just white boiled.

Going to do the starter for a Brown bread tonight. You have to get the sourdough starter going overnight, then make the bread in the morning.
We bought some new Oak Smoked Flour from Waitrose this week, and I'm looking forward to using that. Should make a different bread at least.
