It is ok Dear Readers.. WE are not moving.. it is just SHE was going to go to Dalston to purchase knitting wool and to find a pattern.. but somehow.. SHE ended up in YumYum HQ cooking soup.
WE eat a lot of homemade soup in this house throughout the year, it is vegetable soup today, the ingredients are Celeriac, Carrot, Onions, Leek with Ginger and Garlic.. but alas and alas, there is NO stock! Run out.. disgraceful state of fridge when NO frozen stock to be found, SHE was on hands and knees rooting around in the bottom drawer and found other 'exciting' things but no stock cubes.. sigh.
Never mind.. a quick rootle through the store cupboard produced jar of Barley, SHE will add this to the soup when it has been pureed and then it will be very delicious indeed.. scrummydumptious, in fact, just perfect for a frosty Friday night.
SHE was also to be seen rootling through a HUGE bag of wool.. not enough of anything to make a jacket with, SHE has a very pretty jacket that SHE would very much like to copy. It is made out of panels of boiled wool, scarlet sewn together with black thread.. very chic! Bought whilst SHE was staying with a friend in Ojai, California in 2005.
Quite wise really not to go out if YOU do not have to as it is very chilly out there, WE have food in the cupboard, fridge and store.
The next Knitting class is not until Friday, this gives ample time to find a pattern or something similar to HER jacket, SHE knows what wool SHE would like to use, has already made a long scarf out of it, a jacket would be very chic in this and look good over skirts and trousers.
SHE was going to go and plant a bare rooted Plum tree this weekend but with the forecast of snow and ice, tree will just have to stay here a bit longer, it is dormant so quite happy.
And I am happy too.. got HER within sight, a wide comfy door to perch on, had a mini-dippet in MY water bowl.. that caused HER to make various comments like "daft bird, YOU'll be wet and clammy, not the best day to do that young lady" but a bird has to do what a bird has to do and IF I had gotten too cold or wet, well.. a quick flight down onto HER head usually ends up with a session with HER machine.. yes, Dear Readers, the most beloved Feather and Hair dryer!
Oooh.. such pleasure.. warm air rushing through MY feathers.. Quite enough to make ME jump in and get soaking wet.. the trick, though, is to remember to do it whilst SHE is at home.. I have occasionally forgotten and dived in.. only to realise.. oh dear, SHE went to the Library. BIG mistake.
But no.. all is well in deepest Knightbridge, it has been a happy and pleasant week, SHE had supper with Leigh and Ossie on Tuesday.. FISH PIE.. made by Santi their Spanish son-in-law.. "Come back soon Santi, the pie was delicious".. got great news from that Radiologist on Monday, worked at Trinity on Wednesday, garden was safe and found that unknown heroes or hero had taken that massive pile of cuttings and rubbish away yesterday.. oh, and found a massive piece of Calfskin when SHE was rootling through the wool bag.. certainly enough to make a long jacket out of AND somewhere tucked away, SHE has an old pale blue goat hair lining that used to be in an 'apres ski' jacket..
Don't YOU agree, Dear Readers, it all equals a very fine week to ME.. I hope that YOURS, wherever YOU may be, is as fine. I know that SHE has a close friend whose daughter is going through a very traumatic time and so she is experiencing grief and shock at the moment.. I ask ALL of YOU to pray for 'Long Legs', YOU do not have to know her real name.. but a candle and prayer for her would be good. Thank YOU.
