Good morning all.
It's already in the 20s here with a forecast high of high 26 to 28°C.
One of my jobs this morning is to finish off clearing up the mess that I made last night in the kitchen. I had made chicken stock in the slow cooker and then poured the contents of the slow cooker through a metal seive balanced over a plastic jug. Somehow while making a mug of tea for Mr GF, while waiting for it to drain, I managed to knock the jug and it's contents flying! What a mess!
Apart from losing all my chicken stock I can't believe how far it spread. Lesson learned. Next time I will drain it into a heavy pan rather than a flimsy plastic jug. I wouldn't have minded borrowing Rary's rose tinted glasses.
We have rain forecast for every day for the rest of the week, so I really ought to make the most of today. I've practically forgotten what rain looks/feels like.
I've just been on the phone with my brother in law. He was having carers calling 4 times daily when he was discharged from hospital. He reduced that once a day when he had a review. He has now decided that he doesn't need them at all. He says they are totally unreliable and on occasions when they've been hours late he's managed to do everything himself with no problems. His cleaner/shopper should also be back from her cruise any time. I have added him some bits to my tomorrow's shopping list however. I think I might add bananas to my list and when they're nice and ripe I'll make us both a banana loaf.

, anyway they are done so now to get out to the garden and tidy up a bit, though mentioning the toilew reminded me that I will need to fit the 50p entry lock to the door

. Usually I just do what is absolutely necessary. I'll never be a domestic goddess. If there are shortcuts, I'll seek them out.
