It was a tough visit to Mum on Sunday so the doughnut on the way home at the service station, eaten after the lovely, and for once hot, vegan sausage roll was definitely needed ... although, wow, they are super sickly sweet. Thank goodness for a lovely black coffee to take the edge of it.
We both ate up, and then sat and people watched for a good ten minutes just to decompress. You do see all sorts of folks at the service station, I do still get cross with the messy ones though, especially when they have children with them and just wander off leaving all their mess for someone else to clean up. Just what sort of an example are they setting for their kids?
Yes, I will be turning into a loudly tutting old lady soon. 😞
We got home on Saturday after a couple of hours picking up building supplies ... yes most weekends are now spent browsing the delights of Wickes or B&Q ... to find that Ginger had just been in a spat with another cat defending his garden. His poor little nose was dripping blood and over the course of the afternoon his face swelled up quite alarmingly. He looked like he had done a round or two with Mike Tyson. I had washed it thoroughly, he's a gentle cat and he let me do it with only a minor wriggle and complaint, and we both spent the rest of the day monitoring it closely.
By bedtime he could see out of his eye again, and these photos were then taken the next morning so I can monitor if any infection sets in. I think for his first ever cat fight he has gotten off quite lightly.

This was literally my only shopping for this week, and sadly it is not very nice bread.
As they were much larger slices than the bread that I usually buy, I thought I would have a little play this morning. I made myself three mini 'quiches'. I cut out circles, pressed them into my muffin tin and left them in the warming oven, while I chopped some pepper and let an egg come to room temperature.
You can see each stage in this photo. First chopped pepper dropped into the lightly toasted bread base, then a little sprinkle of cheese, and then finally one beaten egg divided between all three.
It made for a very tasty little breakfast, eaten an hour after my Weetabix, yes I am still on Hobbit breakfasts. 😄
I've been doing quite a bit of playing with my food just recently, and it's always nice when it works out.

Poor Ginger, he looks well battered, poor soul. I hope his wound heals soon.
ReplyDeleteRe the bread: I bought one of those loaves and I quite like it. I took a few slices out and put the rest into the freezer for another time. Mine is soft and tasty with a moist filling like salad, or cheese and pickle. Why did you not like it, Sue?
The Greggs donut looks lovely and you and Alan deserved a treat. My favourite is the pink sprinkled donut at the moment :)
