I got my Asda order delivered today. I wondered what the delivery man meant when he said I showed great restraint with my ice cream - until I unpacked the crate and found this DIDDY carton! 50g. And I thought I was getting a special offer bargain!! Ah well, I shall have to exercise restraint to make it last more than three mouthfuls! The bowl is a standard breakfast bowl - NOT a mixing bowl, btw!!
I have been busy outside again today, and dug a hole on one side of the bank for the Dwarf Aster I was given by my friend Chris a couple of months back. Then I set to and began weeding that area as grass was beginning to take over. Three hours later . . . plus I did some more moss and grass removal in front of the stables.
I gave myself a proper lunch hour, and sat in the sun with a new book (Come Hell or High Water by JD Kirk). Then I took myself off for a cross country walk, along part of the Viaduct (long distance? trackway). Anyway, it's down our track, turn left and up across the fields to the old church, and then back home via the lanes. Photos:
Through the copse, across the stream and that tallest of the fir trees edges my top triangle paddock (the orchard).
I sat on a warm bank and ate a Peppermint Aero . . .
The view across the next field. Rhayader and the Elan valley are about 15 miles beyond those hills.
My home is off to the left once you get down the steep hill.
I stopped to chat to the lass who was in the lambing pens. She had 3 sets of triplets! Mums were going to be able to feed them themselves too -
no need for one to be bottle fed as is often the case. The mums here were blue-faced Leicesters. I noticed some Texels and Suffolks in one of their other fields though.
Final photo. I was glad to get home and rest :)
Tea tonight was a "bungit" - a chopped onion, a very small pack of Aldi minced beef, a grated carrot, a small grated potato, long grain rice, a hefty sprinkling of medium curry powder, and some Oxo stock. Very tasty and enough for 3 meals.
