Toast made on a toasting fork over a wood fire is the most delicious toast in the whole wide world. And I can have it in the Bluestocking because it is special toast that won't send my blood sugar sky high.
I'm all on my own today - apart from the cleaners coming in later - so I am going to have a nice, quiet day. My only job for the day is writing a menu for next week, and making sure I've got everything we need on the Sainsbos delivery.
I do need to try to think of some different meals - we do have a pretty good range of meals dh cooks, but when I sit down with pad and pencil in hand, nothing comes to mind. So we end up with the same few meals over and over. But if dh and ds3 never make any requests, so I assume they are OK with what I choose.
@Britinme - the view from your house looks amazing! I know that snow is deeply irritating for people who have to go places and do stuff, but as the only place I go is home and almost all the stuff I do is here, I love snow. I was home alone during the Beast from the East, a few years ago, when we were all cut off by snow. Dh was down in London for a few days, and couldn't get home because there were no flights, and no trains, so it was just me, the cat and the dogs - and I loved it. It did help that I had plenty of food in the house, and we didn't get the power cut off, so I was warm, had the TV to watch, and had plenty to eat.
My biggest worry was the cat. From our back door (where his cat flap is) you go down two steps to the patio, and then two bigger steps up onto the lawn, and the patio basically filled with snow, knee deep on me, so the cat would have vanished without trace. I shovelled a path to the lawn for him, and the wind blew, and it snowed some more and filled it in, so I shovelled it again. And again. And again. In the end I am not sure he went out for three days or more - I never saw any paw prints or evidence of poo on the lawn or indoors, so I can only assume he kept his paws crossed for the whole time!
