… come again another day.
It was a really wet daytime. To begin with it was just a drizzle, but then the clouds got heavier and so did the rain.
Scamp was out at midday for a lunch with the rest of the ‘Witches’ at Borden’s in Condorrat and then the rain was fairly light. I intended to walk over to Condorrat later to get some meat at the local butcher, but one look out the front door told me it would be more sensible to stay at home for a while because the rain was a lot heavier.
I retired to the back bedroom and investigated the possibility of retrieving the Day One data I lost when the old computer had a massive crash nearly a year ago. After a lengthy search I did find parts of the lost data. Hopefully, now I’ll be able to get about a quarter to a half of the data back, including text and images.
By the time I was finished the search, the sun had all but disappeared and I still had nothing for my dinner, so I dressed for the weather and walked over to Condorrat, (passing the restaurant that Scamp and the witches were in on the way!) I bought mince, sausages and beef olives in the butcher’s and plodded on home. Used the vacuum bags to seal most of the meat while keeping half the mince for tonight and possibly tomorrow’s lunch.
On the way back from the butcher’s I got today’s PoD which was the row of exercise machines on the path from Condorrat. It looked like the weather was preventing the fitness fanatics from using using them today.
Scamp trotted home about an hour later after getting a lift from Moira. I got the sign of approval from Scamp for managing to cook the mince properly. She suggested I use up two potatoes that had been cooked a couple of days ago by mashing them then heating them in the microwave before adding some diced butter and a splash of milk. All in all it was an almost perfect dinner. Sadly I forgot to add some sliced beetroot to the mix. I know you are such a fan of the red finger-staining vegetables that you too would be sad to hear that!!!
We watched another episode of Shetland and the plot thickens even more. Unfortunately it was marred by some really poor acting. Most unlike their usual standard.
Tomorrow we may go out to get a new One-Cup water boiler. The one we have is getting a bit forgetful and causing the cups to overflow if we don’t watch it.
