I'm looking back at today and wondering what happened. I managed to do some stuff, despite having a stomach making industrial quality noises, but it still feels bitty. I haven't much of a triumph today.
There have been some wins, though. I finally sent off this month's meter reading. I loathe sending in the readings. It's so fiddly to get to the meters and the gas meter is particularly evil as it's actually sunk almost below floor level and is always covered in cobwebs. I've done writing and checked emails and generally been tootling along. I even made a batch of biscuits, though I forgot to take a pic.
They are Banana Bread Cookies, and theoretically are ideal for the men. I can do them in batches of ten, they're relatively healthy with lots of oats and honey with the banana instead of refined sugar, and the men inhaled them. I may have messed up a little as you're supposed to pulse the mix in a food processor and I blitzed it instead and the mixture was a lot less firm than I think it should have been. The men have requested that I do them again, though, but next time I think that I'll add some mixed spice or cinnamon.
Bear had been practising for his exam by doing past papers. He said that today's exam was the hardest that he'd ever done. I'm kind of worried, but I'm being really positive whenever I speak with him. I suppose it's an even bigger reason to make biscuits and cakes for the men. According to DH, I should make bigger batches than ten biscuits.
As I failed to take a pic, here's one from June 2018.
I think that it's kind of pretty.
Hugs and good health to all.
That first paragraph could have been written by me!
ReplyDeleteMost days the time has gone and I'm not even sure what I've done during the day! I think I spend far too much of it either procrastinating or doing what I want to do, rather than what I should be doing!
Hugs - that's exactly it! And I dither, trying to decide what to do next and ending up doing nothing.
DeleteSounds like the biscuits were a hit! Sorry to read that your tummy is still grumbling. I had a few days when I had to stay close to home due to a complaining tummy (as a result of a supplement I was told, by my doctor, to take). Focus on what you were able to accomplish and let the rest go. I'm surprised you have to do your own meter reading. Here, the gas company comes out to read the meters once a month and the water & power company (both together) comes out once every two months to read their meter.
ReplyDeleteWe occasionally get meter readers but they're encouraging smart meters that send info to the companies and reading your own meter for them.
DeleteI hope that your tummy is feeling better.
Honey always sounds healthier than sugar!
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn't be, because their both sort of sugar but honey somehow *feels* healthier. I'm not asking too many questions lol.
DeletePretty picture, but nothing edible. Banana bread cookies will keep Bear's spirits up. I'd be more worried if he said the exam was really easy.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies were a definite hit. Thank you for reassuring me. It's really all about bear, but I'm in a heap of worrying.
DeleteHome made biscuits are so much nicer than shop bought ones. I would really make a glutton of myself if I made some.
ReplyDeleteOne of the nice things about those biscuits is that they're made in batches of ten, which allows the men to be reasonably gluttonous without being ridiculous. They really are a hit, and they're good value for the pennies that they cost as well as slightly healthy and incredibly tasty.
