Still Brrr..

The trees here are blowing like mad. Outside our row of terraced houses, sow tweely called cottages by some, we have a row of sycamore trees. Largely they are a pain in the neck, because they drop things for most of the year. At the moment, they are dropping sticky little buds of green things, that get trodden into the house, stick on to cars, and make them look grubby, and get trodden into the inside of cars so the footwell is really grubby. The wind over the last few days has blown a lot down, together with quite a lot of leaves, so it actually looks like we are having an early Autumn. Very odd.
We did have a fire last night which was nice, it warmed the whole house for a change.You kid yourself that it is warmer because it is May, but I bet people with central heating still have theirs on.
Went to Crosby this morning, just a quick trip to Sainsburys to get the veggies for the week. Nothing special going on there, very ordinary day.
Looking forward to watching Countdown this afternoon, because the Sainted Delia is on as the Celebrity guest. I hope there isn't too much football talk though. We watch Countdown most days, we record it on the hard drive, so you can fast forward the placing of the letters, and get it down to about twenty five minutes or so. We have a cup of freshly brewed ground coffee and a bit of a low cal cake and that's our treat for the day.
Tonight we are having:
Lemon and black pepper escalope,
bread sauce with that,
Vegetables with a bit of a sauce maybe mushroom.
Baby Jersey Royals.
