Catching Up...

Spent some time today catching up on things I didn't do yesterday. Firstly I read the lovely long letter John and Ann sent that arrived in yesterday's post, and I didn't have time to read. Their weather was 44 degrees at time of writing..good grief that's hot hot hot..way too hot for me. It was hot when we went to Florida years ago but not that hot. Wonder how they keep cool. fans I suppose. She wrote about power cuts, and how they affect the area. She wrote that the fridge had gone off so she had put the contents into cool bags but the ice cream was dodgy and going soft. It seems to happen quite regularly. They were longing for a bit of rain, it hadn't rained in months so everything was dry.They sent some lovely family photos and a postcard of the wreath plant, a native of where they live.It just looks like awreath but grows that way apparently.
Had a quiet day today since we were out all day yesterday, stayed in, but VT went out for some fuel. We haqve decided to use the heating allowance this year for what it was intended, and he took the money out of the bank account to put into the budget account. We haven't stinted on heating this winter, and have used supplementary heating as and when required, so are expecting bigger bills than usual. That should help anyway.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn pie
Squashed potatoes,
Vegetables..cauliflower and broccoli with a bit of sauce.
