Poor dogs always end up being back up blip fodder on dreich days! See the look of total boredom in Poppy's eyes?

A bit of a nothing sort of day as I opted to stay indoors and dry. So I spent the day doing a wee bit of hoisewifley stuff, reading and then made shortbread the size of house bricks. Note to self trebling the ingredients and squashing into a small tin was not entirely successful!

As I was making the shortbread I was giggling to myself as I remembered telling mum on the phone that I had made some last week. Mother is the delia of shortbread making in our family. "oh good girl" she said I am 51 and 3/4! "Did you use my recipe with the semolina." she asked. "err no there was none in the house..and none in the village shop" "oh, so did you use icing sugar?" "err no...cornflour....." Cue sharp intake of breath over the teeth on the other end of the phone.....an heinous crime! The silence was enough to convey that naturally it would be shit second rate!! I recovered well launching into a discussion on cherry cake instead!

Monday's when you don't work, even if it's raining, are much better! Enjoy your evening x
