Saturday

This morning I made a loaf of bread, put on a load of washing, stacked and started the dishwasher and had my breakfast. We sat and watched the news, had a coffee and I hung out the washing. I watered the outside pots and then spent over 2 hours weeding. What I did looks nice. We had cheese and crackers for lunch with a hot chocolate and after I had emptied the dishwasher I read the first chapter of my new book. We then watched a stage of a cycle race in Spain after which I prepared dinner, sausage and ham pasta bake. At 6.30 pm I watched Pride and Predjudice.

Yesterday when we were out picking blackberries we came across a hazel bush and the ground around it was strewn with nuts which must have blown off in last Sunday's gale. We gathered them up and they are very nice.
