Saturday is here
It's windy and rainy here and I've just finished a cup of tea in bed I'll need to get up so i can get to the shop before key worker hour, as Beebie will be home this morning. Then I think we'll wrap up and go and look for puddles to jump in. What's everyone else up to? Any nice food plans?

Re: Saturday is here
Morning!
I got up early to watch A Streetcar Named Desire but children appeared. They then clicked on a dodgy link a cousin sent them in WhatsApp so I had to message all the contacts saying to ignore it, run malware scans, etc.
We’ve had breakfast and watched the ISS camera feed for a bit. We are about to head out and see if the local public outdoor tennis court is free. P will join us when he’s out of bloody bed and dressed, I trust.
There’s a lemon polenta cake with blackberries in my future.

Morning. Still sunny and breezy here. I'm meeting my friend for a picnic blanket socially distant coffee this morning and I'm very excited about it.
Not sure what the food plans are apart from sourdough about to go in the oven. Oh and J wants to make the Japanese milk bread, Shokupan.

Morning!
I'm going to attempt my local market, they've got a one way system etc in place, so we'll see what kind of chaos is there! Augh.

A very blustery day here today. I (we) need to fight the tide of crap and mess in the house.

Re: Saturday is here
It's bright and blustery here. I'm going to go for a run then we have a bit of shopping to do and some cleaning.
Lamb kebabs, mujadara, flatbreads and salad for dinner later.
It should have been my son's wedding today so I'm a bit sad, still 6 more months isn't long to wait and there's worse things that have happened.

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

Re: Saturday is here
Thanks. They seem to be fine. It's just a very different weekend to what it should have been.

Re: Saturday is here
Oh brambs, I’m sorry.
Morning. It is grey but not raining here yet. I have taken my bed apart to clean all around it and underneath and the battery ran flat on my Dyson (I know, I know...) so I’m waiting for it to recharge.
Later on today I’m going out for a facial- since all beauty treatment places have now reopened here- I cannot wait.

Re: Saturday is here
Ah, sorry Bramble. I hope they’re feeling ok.
It’s sunny here, but not as hot as it has been, which is good as I’d like to get my run over with early.
The rest of the day will involve a SD visit to my mum (we saw her for the first time last week), and clearing up the garden - we had a new fence put in yesterday and there are thousands of pyrocantha thorns in the lawn. I’m not sure when the dogs will be able to go back out there

Re: Saturday is here
I'm sorry Bramble.
I like the sound of bao buns.
Shopping is coming later. They've substituted my barbecue charcoal (needed as last time I ordered some I got a teeny tiny packet) for firelogs which can't be used on barbecues.

If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Morning.
I’m sorry Bramble. I guess it would make it easier if the weather was crap too.
I’m doing homemade cheeky Nando’s for tea with all the sides.

Re: Saturday is here
Morning all
I'm sorry Brambs, that's rubbish.
Some lovely sounding dinner plans! I bought some Jus-Roll pain au chocolat and cinnamon swirl dough and stuck them in the oven so we had a nice breakfast this morning.
We are going out on the bikes today and might see if the tennis courts in the park are free too.

Re: Saturday is here
Aw, Bramble, thats tough.
I'm still in bed but about to get up shortly. J has gone out to collect a prescription and when he gets back, he is making us a cooked breakfast. Then I'll do some housework and maybe try to get out for a walk. Its really windy here today though and raining too.
Skype call later with my folks.

Re: Saturday is here
Morning, we are still lounging in bed. The weather sounds brutal, so isn't encouraging us to move.
I could do with a bit of Wendy's cake
Bramble, that's tough for you all, I hope you can have a nice meal and fizz to mark the occasion anyway.

Sorry, bramble. Hope you have some treats planned.
We’re heading out for a walk and geocache. I have found a loop of caches that haven’t been touched for two months so we’ve done a risk assessment and going for it.

Re: Saturday is here
I'm sorry to hear that, Brambs.
It's very windy here also. We will try and do some gardening between showers. E is making pasta with smoked bacon for dinner and I can't wait. I've had cold, leftover sausages for breakfast. They are my favourite. Unfortunately my children love them too so I had to share.
