Happy Birthday, Mum!
Today is my beautiful mother’s 55th birthday. She had to work this morning, so we are having dinner together tonight. I’ve decided to cook an Indian dish, but I’ll be cheating, and using a packaged sauce! Too many ingredients for this little black duck. I’ve also made a birthday cake (also out of a packet!). Cooking is not really my forte. I mean well, but I’m not what you’d call gifted in the kitchen.
We’ve had a pleasant day. The weather has been absolutely beautiful- perfect for hanging three loads of washing out! Daz mowed the lawn and Mollie helped with the housework. Actually, for the first time ever, she did the majority of it herself! I wonder what she’s done with the real Mollie?
I had to go and buy a new electric blanket. The weather is starting to get cooler, and the old one just couldn’t cut it. All the tie downs were broken, so it was impossible to keep it in one place. The new one is fitted, so that should be comfier. God, I’ve just read back over this….it is riveting! Still, as accurate records of my life go, this is it!
I’ll go and see if the champagne is chilled. Might post a few photos later.
