Last year's cocktails post seems long enough ago to start a new separate one with this year's recipes. I love a cocktail, but I rarely follow recipes though and enjoy making things up a bit as I go with little or no planning. So here are a few of my recent inventions... Rosalie I tried… Continue reading Making Stuff 17: Cocktails 2021
I thought I would share a few things about myself that my real life friends (probably) know, but social media not so much. 1 I used to be vegetarian When I was 9 I decided to stop eating meat. My parents are saints. I can't imagine large boy asking that in just over a year.… Continue reading 10 things about me
Another dreadful night; too hot, too cold, sore knees, brain whirring, awake since 4.20am and just dozed since then. Alarm at 7am, showers and breakfast. We checked out of the hotel and himself went to fetch the car as it was raining. However, he came back quickly to say the car had been broken into.… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D16
Early morning woken by the alarm. Monday is going to be so hard. I slept really badly with the usual long journey anticipation. We got ourselves together and put the last bits in the car, having packed all the big stuff last night. Then into the car and on the road before 8am. Driving through… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D15
Nice long lies again this morning. Sent large boy off to get breakfast on his own, only for him to return empty handed because himself got our number wrong so I had to go figure out things with the bar. Then the coffee machine flicked on and off and we had no electricity at all… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D14
Small boy awoke first again and we all got up at 9am for cereals. Over breakfast we discussed plans for the day. As we were coming out of Bergerac yesterday we saw lots of "road closed" signs and Googled what it was all about when we got back. Apparently there's a Tour de Avenir time… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D13
Small boy woke up a bit earlier this morning - a fly in his room apparently. He was persuaded back to bed with remarkable ease and eventually we got up at 8.30am. I took the boys to get bread, croissants and pain au chocolats. It was a bit chilly so fleecy (£4 bargain H&M) dinosaur… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D12
Quarter to 9, everyone else is still asleep. I woke an hour ago with work on my mind. Apparently 10 days is my limit, so I was wondering what's going on with my work wife. Then remembered how pissed off I am with a colleague for withholding information. It's that bloody work addiction again. Can't… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D11
Well himself has managed to convince me he may be actually sick. He's been hot and cold all night, tossing and turning and elbowing me in the nose. Not sure what today will bring. To make sure stuff got done I did a little 2km run and got breakfast. Large boy way improved his lie… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D10
Rain. Lots of rain. Woke us up before 7am. No way am I running in that! Had to pop down to the bar to fetch patisseries and then needed to change my trousers when I got back. First things first, coffee. Then we need to figure out what to do today with it being Sunday… Continue reading Holiday 2019 D9
