Brrrr...

Cold and chilly today. Wasn't frosty, but big fat flakes of snow at lunchtime. Didn't stick however, mainly because the ground was wet. Little Rusty was outside, looked really sweet in the hut at the bottom of the garden with just her face showing. Right now they are curled up and fast asleep, Bobby on the sofa beside VT and Rusty in her little bed in the extension. they had their chicken at lunch time both appear at about 1.30 and sit waiting till I've chopped it up.
Intermittent rain showers and hailstorms today they were battering the windows before so they are in the best place.
Quickly went out this morning over to Maghull for our bits of vegetables. They are quite good for veggies actually. Bought some carrots, mushrooms, packets of cabbage and leeks, mixed vegetables, green beans and small potatoes and a pack of baking potatoes.
That will set us up for the week and gives us a good choice rfor meals. I never plan what we are going to have actually, just play it by ear and see what there is in the frig or freezer to be used. The only nights we have the same are Saturday and Sunday really, the rest depends.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn of some sort, probably escallopes,
Baby potatoes maybe sauteed,
Vegetables, with a mushroom sauce.
Wonder when Burns Night is. I have bought a Vegetarian one from Morrisons on friday, and some mashed potatoes and some carrots and swede, so we are set up.. not that we are remotely Scottish, but it makes a change.
