Busy week
It’s nice to be really busy doing stuff outside the house and this last week has been very much that. I have had job interviews, done some volunteer work for the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival, some paid therapy work and some language teaching too.
I spent this morning making roughly five or six litres of Gazpacho and also a large quantity of Houmous for Patrick, well not all for Patrick; for the Quire members and the other people performing with them tonight at the Waterfront Hall – click here for more information. I enjoy cooking and so making food for all those people is a pleasure not a chore.
This afternoon has been spent in my courtyard garden that I must take some pictures of soon. Fintan and I miss the large garden we had in Birmingham though we are lucky to have the outside space that we have here as most people only have a yard out the back. We have the yard and then through a door there is another garden area, it’s lovely enough but it feels less accessible perhaps because of the gate. What I have done with the yard is clear out the rubbish and clean it up, then put some plants in pots, my wooden table and chairs from Birmingham and put some shelves up. I was sorry that I had to leave my potted plants in the old house as the van was too small to contain them but the outside space we have now is very nice and hopefully will be a nice space to have people over as the weather improves.
I’m looking forward to the performance tonight and then a fairly busy week ahead of me, not as busy as the week just passed but busy enough I guess.
I rediscovered this advert on Youtube – it still makes me laugh out loud at the punch line even now. The Pot Noodle people are always coming up with something cheeky and new, though this one was banned from TV in the end!

I would love to see pictures of your garden area. Fantastic! Good luck on the interviews, but you sound busy enough! I know, I know, busy does not pay the bills. If only it could. We would both be rich! Have a great night and thank you for the kind words. Cassi
Gosh ! you are busy, cooking, clearing up, working paid and unpaid – you are great ! My camera isn’t working - just one more problem to add to the others I have
I’d love to see your garden/patio/yard or the “outside space” it’s sounds very nice. At least it must be easy to look after – no mowing, raking, digging etc.I could do with one like that. Marie
I’m sure I saw that advert on TV- did I ??
@MSB - I’m sure you would have Marie, although they puled the advert fairly quickly over the word ‘slag’ – even after the ‘watershed’ and even though it was clearly meant to be humerous rather than insulting.
You were a busy bee in the yard! I love Gazpacho, not too spicy though.
