A Morning Mooch..


Confrontation in the garden..

Out this morning to get our free coffee at Dobbies before April runs out. It is May next week after all, isn't time flying by? Nice sunny day but the car is covered in a fine dust so VT wanted to get a carwash as well. Called in at the BP garage and gave him twenty pounds toward his petrol. There was a big delivery van stuck in the drive up to the carwash so he decided to get one on the way back instead.
Went to Dobbies and had a good look round. Spotted some Saxifrage plants in the front, that make good pot cover so got two of those. he also saw some little box tree plants for 3.99 each so bought two of those as well. The larger trained ones are £15 quid each so a bit pricey, he is going to make that a bit of a project. get your nail scissors out and trim them!
I had a look round the food hall and bought some after dinner mint crisps, and a pack of shortbread biscuits for half price.
Enjoyed out cup of coffee (free) and took our own biscuits!! all that cost was 20p because he had a large cup which is dearer. Shame they have turned our coffee area into a poncey "old fashioned tea room" with two people on the entrance and about three people inside!!
Jane rang up at lunchtime to ask what you need to put into a Kedgeree. they like that apparently. She makes a big batch of it, and Rachel takes it to work with her and they have it again tomorrow. VT said you.d think she would know how to make that by now..I said she probably wanted to check that she hadn't left anything out. Nice that she is cooking anyway.
Tonight we are having:
Quorn mini balls, like their large ones but smaller.
Tomato sauce,
Linguini
Carrot strips and green beans as a side.
A bit of garlic bread.
