 Tuesday - Muggy and a little cooler, rain at night

I overslept this morning and didn’t get up until almost an hour later than usual. I went downstairs, came back up and watched the early morning news. I deleted it and then relaxed for a bit. 

I went downstairs and made my breakfast. I had porridge again today and it was lovely. I was planning to add a bit of apricot jam from the fridge, but it didn’t smell that great, so I washed out the jar and had some rhubarb compote instead!

I also did a load of laundry today, but before I put my stuff in I noticed some stains on the inside of the washing machine. What was going on? Dear husband’s pen had broken or something in the washing machine and there were ink marks on the sides.  I managed to get it clean with the help of some elbow grease and hair spray!

After I hung up the towels, I got started on another project. I decided to set up the desktop shelf that I bought ages ago for my printer. I had hoped that it would be easy, and sure enough, putting things together was easy, but the shelf was too big for the space I had. That meant I had to take down the other shelves and try to find places for the now displaced stuff. It wasn’t easy! I still have a few things that I need to try and regime. It’s more difficult than I thought it would be. However, I did get my shelf set up and I put my printer on top of it. Yay me.

While I was doing this I watched Eagle Eye, a film I haven’t seen in a while. I enjoyed watching it again. It isn’t the best film ever but has moments.

I went down to get my lunch but K was in the kitchen. Someone had given her a lot of dadacha-mame, the local soybeans. She was getting ready to boil them so we kept getting in each other’s way. I left the kitchen as soon as I could and came upstairs to eat.

I watched an episode of The Walking Dead and it was quite good. It was mostly about a character that I didn’t know very well and what happened to her. 

I watched the news at 4 pm and then went downstairs around 5:30 when F called to say that he was on his way back. I got dinner underway quite quickly. 

Today I did a pork sauté and some fried mushrooms, plus the zucchini strip salad that I like. We had some salad greens too, plus K and F got to have rice as well.

I put things on the table, called F and then went and sat down. F didn’t come to the table for ages. K had finished eating and I was half-finished before he came. 

After dinner, I did the dishes and of course, I went upstairs and changed. F and I were going to get groceries, so we bundled into the car.

We went to the grocery store and got a few groceries for tomorrow. F might be around on Thursday, so I might not cook that night. Hopefully!

We came back to the house. F and I put things away and then came upstairs. I watched FBI at eleven and F went to bed. 

To be honest, that’s about it for my day. It was quite good and I’m glad that I finally got the shelf set up for my printer.  

Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
