Sunny soupy Sunday

It's been a busy few days; Friday was an evening in. Film night for the girls and for us. I watched Wayne's World for the first time. I am sure that must be on some list of a hundred films to watch before you die. I was slightly comforted to think that it would only take me two years to watch them all, if I watched one a week!

Yesterday was a party day. The little one went to a Frozen Party; then she and her Dad watched the film in the evening.  I went out with the older one and her friend to a 25 Wedding Anniversary Party (combined with 50th birthday party, 10th birthday party and a 21st birthday party) It was a really lovely event. The venue is a haven of tranquility in a buzzing part of the city.

Today I wrecked my day by having a lie in! I am sure the sleep did me good; but it got to lunchtime alarmingly quickly.

We had a "fridge soup". There wasn't much in the cupboards... alphabet pasta goes well in a Rustic Tuscan soup or Ruscan Soup.

My oldest and I had a wee bike ride; while the little one was at yet another party! It didn't seem sunny when we ventured out, but my face and neck tell a different story.

Tea was pie, a fake mince beef and onion. (Quorn) In fact it was almost a moussaka in a pie, once flavoured with red wine and aubergine. We had mini crumbles with the lovely rhubarb from my friend's allotment.

I am reading "How to be a woman" by Caitlin Moran. I am enjoying parts of it, but on a different level, I am finding it very challenging.  I hadn't realised quite how much of a prude I am!


Lovely late night visitor, most welcome as he loves slugs!
