Finding the chase and cutting to it

I was reading my plans for my holiday and felt I should be honest about what actually happened.

Best laid plans, do not always come to fruition and my holiday was certainly that, although, more from my gaze being further than my reach.

For a start, my gym was manic, so I didn’t get to have a relaxing day in the pool, though I did make use of my voucher and have a mud bath. Weird but true that it really does clean spots in a really soothing way.

The food plans did not come to pass either: the flan was baked on Wednesday, with left overs on Thursday lunch, really seriously tasty even on the second visit. The coq au vin Tuesday night was delicious, as was an impromptu stilton and celery soup on Thursday night with a sour dough baguette.

The house was very slowly cleaned and a great deal of walking. I did find a whole load of missing things! I also sorted out the TV in the kitchen – turns out a new coaxial cable was all that was needed.

I researched quite a few recipes and bought a Konro grill for the summer. I am way more excited by this than I feel I should be. I produced a table explaining how my microwave works in terms of power settings. Did I say I found a really interesting recipe for a microwaved honey roast ham?

Having a hectic job, I am sure many would find my holiday less than blissful, but I honestly don’t get much time to just enjoy my home. Isn’t that why most of us work for a living? To have a place to call home?
