Winter Is Coming

As Carrie Bradshaw would say And Just Like That…..it’s autumn.

It’s seventeen minutes past six and it’s not yet dawn.

Where did the summer go?

I’ve booked the chimney sweep, and ordered the logs

And the Bake Off have another motley group of 12 for us to either love or hate over the next few months.

The Christmas request rota is up at work

The WalkingDead returns for its finale

And I’ve already sorted through my jumper drawer trying to find ones that will fit.

Where has the year gone?

Lockdown seems a million miles away now but the memories of isolation make us feed on company more more than we ever did.

I’ll filling my diary with stuff and I have a list of things to do around the cottage for my last holiday of the year the week after next.

Today is a new day. Lord, I have the words, but nothing feels right. Your children need you, whether I’m willing to admit it. Surrender is all you wanted, and I’m obliging. Readers, lift up each other. Love you all.

Cooking

I’m on a couple of nights, tonight and Saturday and have spent the morning cooking.

I’m back on a healthy eating diet so have cooked some healthy meals to enjoy when I’m at work.

This morning it’s a katsu curried king prawns with udon noodles and stir fry.

Chicken and crispy potato salad with yogurt

And garlic prawn, avocado and chicken sushi.

Each one can be split into two meals and are just as nice cold as when heated.

Sweet stuff is a box of sliced mango

I love making sushi.

It’s mindful and careful and precise

I love the smell of the shaoxing Rice Wine which infuses each piece

The kitchen is filled with the scent of it
