Just an Ordinary Day...

Monday...and it dawned grey and coldish. Not frosty, but there is still ice on the water in the garden so VT says.
Very ordinary weekend with our usual things going on. Good crosswords done yesterday quite easily and no real problems. Saturday had a very VERY strong aroma of garlic in the house..all over the house. Especially in the middle room where we live, and in the hall. It was knocking us out and making our eyes water for a time!!! As we were going out this morning we were chatting to our neighbour who was washing her car. i said "What were you cooking on Saturday?" and she said a curry from scratcvh which had a lot of garlic in it.. I said i thought she was doing that chicken dish with 20 bulbs of garlic in it... It must be the floorboards in these houses, because we used to get the aroma of baking cakes from next door the other side when they used to run the coffee shop in the garden centre. One of the pitfalls of living in a terraced property!
Went out to Crosby this morning to Sainsburys to get our weekly veggies... didn't get much extra were home quite early for our coffee.
Last day of January already, it doesn't seem long since Christmas. It will be the funeral this week for the next door neighbour. Still foind it hard to believe he isn't coming home, it all seemed to be so quick really. Poor woman, she is going to find it very hard to come back home, and since it is a rented house one wonders if she will stay. Her family seems to be down south. We shall see. The little ginger cat is very good, beautifully behaved, and VT has got her in every night except one. She greeted our car again this morning when we returned from shopping, it's lovely the way she does that.
Tonight we are having:
Lemon and black pepper escalopes
bread sauce
Little baked potatoes
Mixed vegetables.
