with these gorgeous Icelandic horses. I saw them on a history show over the weekend – they were apparently used for travel back in medieval times. I had never heard/seen them before. I WANT ONE! I figure if I start nagging talking about them now, when we get a farm in around 10 years maybe Kevin will let me have one :-).
Bread filled Tuesday
I don’t mind the cold weather of Winter but boy do I find it hard to get going in the mornings – which you know if VERY unusual for me.I was going so slow this morning I even had a great deal of trouble deciding what I wanted for breakfast. We were out of all bread – except for homemade white, had no eggs (our chickens are barely laying) and I wanted something warm. I really felt like an ommelette but that was out of the question. Eventually I decided on cheese on toast. It was very nice but would have been much better on grain bread.
I had quite a few erands to run today and headed out just before 10am. Of course, by the time it got to 11am I was rather hungry, and not organised enough to have bought a snack with me. So I once again resorted to Gloria Jeans and their delicious Iced Chocs. One small skim iced chocolate with no cream coming up. No photo but I’ve had enough of these lately you know what they look like.
I finished off my errands, which included picking up a few grocery items, and headed home.
I enjoyed yesterdays salad so much I decided to go with a repeat, with a slice of fresh country grain bread.
Got a few more chores attended to this afternoon, which included a sandwich snack. Some days I don’t eat bread at all but today I sure made up for it.
Tonights dinner was really rather pathetic. I’m cramming a lot into the days, tired by night-time and wanting to use up food, plus we didn’t have much in the way of fresh veggies. So I present – veggie snitzel, veggie fingers and corn. Pathetic I tell you. Lucky I had that salad at lunch.
A couple of hours later Kevin was kind enough to make me a cup of tea, which I enjoyed with a few chocolates.
The countdown is on
I decided to skip doing my food blog until after our trip as things seem to be getting busy around here as the countdown continues. Plus food might be a bit boring as we try and use up what’s already in the house. But I’ve changed my mind…for now…
It’s so cold in the mornings now that I keep putting off my workouts. Instead I’ve decided to move them till later in the day. So this morning I got up and started the day reading blogs while enjoying a cup of tea.
Breakfast was spaghetti on toast. Perfect on this cold morning.
Once the girls headed off to school I got started on todays chores – which included cleaning upstairs with a thorough clean of both bathroom and our bedroom. It took me till nearly 1pm with a break around 10.3oam for a green smoothie.
Boy was I glad to sit and enjoy my lunch – salad with a lentil pattie and roast garlic dressing.
Tired as I was I still managed to find some energy to take the dogs on a walk. This afternoon I got a few more jobs done, made some fresh bread for the girls and more of those healthy cookies.
My afternoon snack was some slightly stale protein crisps.
Dinner tonight was chili con carne (made with TVP) served with some tortilla chips. Topped with a bit of cheese and some low-fat sour cream. Yum!
Lastly I enjoyed a cup of tea and two of the cookies.
Giving new life to old things
I’ve had these gold photo frames forever but they really don’t do anything for me anymore. Plus I have very little gold stuff in our house. So I decided to paint them blue. I know I’ve got a photo of the shelves with the gold frames somewhere but for the life of me I can not track it down. But I’m sure you can use your imagination. Much better don’t you think? And much more in keeping with my colour scheme.
