Well. It was a bit of a disaster today. I was in the middle of cooking when Neil came in from the storage container with a box which he thought I should sort out. It was kitchen equipment so that's basically my domain. He sat it on another box which, in turn was sat on a chair. It had in it some bowls and a jug plus several glass storage jars - all useful but nothing that I recognised. They actually were Neil's when he was in his own house. If I'd known they were there, I wouldn't have bought a set of 3 glass bowls last week. Anyhow, I started to unpack them and stack them ready for washing when the whole box tipped over and some of the storage jars smashed, spreading broken glass over the floor. I picked up what I could using my long handled grabbing tool, got hold of the broom and swept what I could into a dustpan (long handled). Neil came back and saw my predicament and took over clearing it all up. But by then, I had used all my energy and had to sit down.
At the time I was blanching some potatoes to put them into the freezer, but with all this to do, I overdid the boiling and they were fit only for mashing. I was in the middle of cutting up vegetables to roast under the lamb, so I finished that prep and put the tray into the oven.
Then came my mistake. I had to get my legs off of the floor, so sat in the big kitchen chair. About 2 hours later, I woke up to a hazy kitchen and blackened veg and meat. The veg were not salvageable but, while hard on the outside, the meat under the first few mm of skin was edible. So my 2nd meal was well cooked lamb, scraped off of the hard outer crust, plus a few bits of overcooked potato.
Oddly, BG dropped despite the potato and it went down about an hour ago to 2.9. So I had some of the Christmas cake I made yesterday. It's only now creeping up into the 4's.
