Sunshine, Crisps ... and Base Floors

 

Doors open, sun shining and washing drying on the line again.  

How lovely it is to have some sunshine back after the awful weather of the last few days.  Sunshine brings out the best in people doesn't it, and living alongside the canal it means that we see lots of dog walkers who always love to stop and pass the time of day if we are at the front of the house.  In memory of Mavis we still have a large bowl of fresh drinking water for passing dogs, and it seems to have been very well used today.

There is one big dog that we have nicknamed 'splashy dog', as he has a big drink and liberally splashes water everywhere, the bowl usually needs refilling after his visit. 🐶

I had a bit of a cookathon with the last of my Riverford vegetables yesterday, not wanting to waste anything that I have paid good money for.  They might not look much, but oh boy do they taste good. 

 So much so that I decided on a salmon and roasted vegetable bun for my lunch 

I kept it simple, but delicious, and it was really filling.  Perhaps there was a little bit too much salmon on that bun ... but sometimes you just have to don't you.  😁

I am now on a shopping go slow after spending all of my Facebook Marketplace profits on stocking the cupboard, the freezer and ordering my favourite crisps direct from the farm they are produced on.

This should keep me going for quite a while, and buying direct from the small family farm that grows the potatoes and makes the crisps, is my way of supporting small UK businesses.   

I will share some with Alan ... if he's good. 😄

A quick walk through of the bungalow at the weekend, at last we had a level surface to walk on.
