Kitchens and stuff
Nov. 12th, 2012 04:22 pmGoodness me last week was hard work. I now have a new kitchen (yay!) and the workmen have gone and the junk has finally all been taken away. I do not want to deal with anymore house improvements until next year at the very earliest. Sadly though, my kitchen herbs have all vanished without trace! I have acquired a new thyme and parsley. The spare rosemary may get a reprieve and be allowed back in the house (It was outside to see if it could survive the winter and be properly planted). But seriously - I'd love to know where the plants (and the mini watering can) have gone.
The kitchen is very lovely though. All shiny and new, with loads of space. Little things like having space to prep veg and make pastry, that before were an impossible juggling act involving the dining table, can now be done in the kitchen, Without moving things! It is possible to cook a meal without having to stop, tidy and completely clear away each stage! I've also got all my crockery in the kitchen and there's still space! Consider this warning - I will be hosting dinner parties again, just as soon as I've gotten over the wretched lurgy.
Speaking of the lurgy I am ill. Not properly, able to go to bed and be poorly ill, but that irritating, feel like poo but don't have enough of an illness to justify taking time of work sort of ill. If you want to contact me, please do so by email or skype/msn as I'm not answering the phone right now due to croaking like a frog.
Lots of other stuff going on, but not sure I want to talk about it here, other than to say I love you all and I wish I could make it better. I would if I could, but as my mum is fond of saying - my magic wand is out of batteries... Oh and I'm sorry I was grumpy last week. Lemme get over this cold and I'll make it up properly I promise!
