Papers..

Nothing in them these days. We usually enjoy the papers at the weekend. The Sunday ones are OK because we generally end up doing the crosswords, but the Saturday ones at the moment are rubbish. Nothing in them of interest. VT didn't get the Liverpool Echo today I think I gave him a shock last week when I told him it was 12/6d old money. we couldn't believe that, more than 10 shillings for a paper! i remember when a ten shilling note was a huge birthday gift..something to be enjoyed and would buy you loads of things. 50p now would barely buy you todays paper!
Quite a mixed day today, a bit dull and quite blowy but with sunny spells. No rain though so VT hung the washing outside and it is blowing away, will dry soon. Pegging the washing outside does make it smell lovely actually and it is nice to sleep on a bed with sheets that have dried outside. Still looking for new bed linen haven't found any we like at the moment. There are an awful lot of almost sixties style bedding fabrics around at the moment.
VT has just put his head round the door to say he has done the bed. We put the top quilt on before but the sheets were still drying. Anyway, he has sneaked up and finished the bed off. He has this thing where he tries to get the beed done without me noticing. I do though mostly..He is now going to sit outside with a cup of tea...eugh..can't stand tea. I think it is a bit blowy for me outside today.
Tonight we are having:
Green Thai Curry using Quorn chicken style pieces
Mushrooms with it,
1/2 a pack of white rice each,
Stir fry vegetables.
We make a lovely green thai sauce with reduced fat coconut milk and green thai curry paste.
