Mint!

The sun returned today and if the Met Office is to be believed, the next few days should be lovely too.  The BBC weather app tells a different story so I am choosing to ignore that for now :-))

After lunch went to the garage to get a list of what frozen food is out there.  Some soup had to be binned as it was over its date but everything else is fine.  When meal planning each week, one or two evenings are meals from the freezer.  This has stopped my terrible habit of cooking for the freezer then forgetting about it!  

I was pleased to note there as three meals in there in a large enough quantity (lasagne, chilli and pizzas) that will cover dinner for three nights when our Skye friends are here in a few weeks.  

Lola and I spent some time in the garden.  I was going to sit out but although it was warm, it was very windy so I only stayed long enough to take some photos.  The mint won the competition to be my blip for today.  This tub of mint was here when we bought the house so I have no idea how old it is.  It dies back every year and always comes back strong and healthy.  It seems to thrive on neglect as I've never fed the soil in the tub and we've been here 13 years!   We had some of it chopped finely through our fattoush salad the other night and it was delicious.  

I also managed to spend some time in the studio this afternoon. Had hoped to paint but by the time I had tidied my desk and got the July birthday and anniversary cards written, my hip was niggling so I moved before the pain started.  
Dinner done and now trying to decide on some Saturday night tv.  I fancy starting  Season 1 of Why Women Kill.  I've seen almost all of Season 2 in online clips but I want to watch all four seasons properly.  Not sure how keen D is given the title :-))

PS How spooky is this....I blipped this pot of mint on this day in 2012!  Ha!  The more things change, the more they stay the same!  :-))))
