Friday

Lovely sunny day. Took my dresses in for alteration. Ocado shopping arrived with a free Times - glad they are keeping that up. Had the statutory green chicken curry at Lye Torng after an excellent Bloody Mary.

I need to make some more bread today. I am keeping up the protein breakfast with scrambled egg and a couple of streaky rashers fried until hard, then put between some kitchen roll before breaking up and sprinkling over the egg, and the compulsory baked beans. Also the Look What We Found people have an offer of sausage and bacon breakfasts by post with a 25% discount. I quite like their stuff, very suitable for singles who don't really like cooking, so I may get a few of these.

I shall also have to do some orange boiling today. I have decided to make some more orange cake to slice and freeze, since Julian ate the last of the lemon ones. The house will smell gorgeous with the boiling oranges. I may even keep the liquid and put it in a squirty bottle as an air freshener - thrifty or what!

I am attempting another painting - this time of a rather sinister guy in Spain known as a 'cleaner'. Apparently you give him a call if you have just murdered someone and are in a bit of a panic about it, and he comes and sorts things out, so to speak. Needless to say he is retained by a firm of lawyers, which could be handy.
