Tthe early morning food panic ensured the TO DO list did not get any attention, instead did fridge/freezer audit. Arranged contents by date and planned how to stretch the breakfast options. Made two batches of melts.
@Rachox thanks for the recipe. Four eggs now make eight breakfasts. Mixed ham version and bacon, but left them in their bowls to cook later. Had only four suitable cooking utensils, but during the recent unpacking found four cooking rings,so lined those with baking parchment to contain the mix in a shallow roasting tin, worked very well. in fact will line the glass ramekins next time as melts in those stuck and had to be persuaded out. Nice thing about that, crispy bits to scrape out and eat. So reminded me of doing the same with cake tins as a child.
Rode my bike to the village, questionable legality this time as did take some rubbish.@chook no bin collections here at all.
Afternoon, bite the bullet time, weather is cool, damp and cloudy, not suitable for painting, so started on the enormously long leylandii hedge. A job I really dislike. Late start, however managed perhaps 15% of it. Ofc we usually dump the cuttings in a trailer and remove to the tip. Thats not happening now. Emptied the wheelbarrow on a former bonfire site in the orchard. That will have to do. They will be there some months because locals do not approve of bonfires this time of year.
Weather report offers chance of rain overnight, so out on the mower next - along with two of the neighbours who had obviously seen the same report. 75% of residents mowing at the same time. Skies cleared, does not look like rain so went and watered veggies, at the same time setting up rain collection system- " just in cases"
