a sunny day at last

Well the outlook on monday morning certainly made up for the slug invasion, a perfect way to start the week.  Shame it didn't last however and back to the grey and miserable before we knew it. 

Thought I would share the lovely picture anyway and hope there is more to follow.

freeloaders

We found a couple of cheeky freeloaders this weekend who had been happily consuming anything they could in our food cupboards. Luckily most items were in jars or tins but a couple of bags of flour and icing sugar seemed to have kept our intruders busy. 

Saturday was not all but wasted cleaning slug poo from the insides of our cupboards, I had some scotch bonnets which needed using and despite not having the correct ingredients for a chili chutney or a jelly I decided to experiment. Here is the '10 scotch bonnet chili jam chutney'. 

However as it was bubbling away I got carried away painting a card for my mum, and as a result instead of producing chilli jam or chilli chutney I have probably managed to produce one of the worlds hottest toffee's! 

a new shower at last and its hot!

Well it only took 4 months to sort out our shower; gone are the days of having to run the tap in the sink just to slightly raise the temperature. We now have a spanking new shower with HOT water and all thanks to our friendly neighbor Anthony who not only found it for us, fitted it too! 

We no longer have to worry about forgetting to tell our guests the nifty trick to acquiring warm water, sorry to all those suffered but now you can look forward to a lovely hot shower next time you stay.
