Monday Again..

They come round with a monotonous regularity these Mondays. No sooner has the weekend gone then the Monday appears. Nice and sunny today though, and the children round here are back in school after their unusual Easter break. Back in for four days, and off on Good friday, the weekend and the following Monday, then back in for three days and off for the Royal Wedding! What a pain for the parents. then there are the two Bank Holidays in May, and the May half term...Great to be a teacher in these days!!
We went out quickly to Crosby to Sainsbury's for the veg etc., and the difference in the car park from last week is amazing, so much quieter. Whizzed round there in 1/2 an hour so it is free parking, and home for a coffee. VT bought this new coffee from Kenco which is called "Milliano" and it is really nice, like a proper ground coffee. We always have a Cafetiere of fresh ground coffee every day about 5 O'Clock, with a bit of a breather, and we vary the type and make.One thing i love is the smell of ground coffee, it scents the whole house..a really pleasant aroma. They say it is one of the nicest, together with new baked bread.I can believe it.
Gone quite dull now, and coolish with the sun behind the clouds. VT has been in the garden and come in with wet pants! He was fixing the water feature..fountain..in the back garden and it spurted out on him.
It's a lovely little fountain, he bought me for my fiftieth, and it is in a large blue pot, with the fountain bit at the top, surrounded by slates. It's lovely in the summer sitting out with it going and trickling over the stones. He says he has fixed it, and I'm sure he has, he is excellent at fixing things.
Tonight we are having:
Escalope..not sure which sort?
Baby baked potatoes
Mixed vegetables with a white sauce
