Rice, Tiles ... and a Padded Cell?

 


I find something really satisfying about using up the last of the things that I have in my big jars.  Yesterday I used the last of the rice, so the jar was washed and I refilled it after leaving it to thoroughly dry overnight.  It holds two kilos of rice so a full jar lasts me quite a long time.


There were just two cups of rice left in the jar before it was washed out, so I cooked it all up at once and then I had some for my tea with a portion of chickpea and potato curry from the freezer and left the rest to cool down in my freezer blocks.

So if two cups of rice does me five meals, that refilled jar is going to last me quite a while. 😁

I took Alan's lunch round to him at the bungalow yesterday and discovered him just finishing off doing this in my bedroom ... I think he is making me a padded cell.  I know I can be a bit wacky at times, but am I really that bad?  😄

This weekend we are out to choose the floor tiles for the bungalow, yes we go to all the exciting places!!

  We have been deliberating for a long time on which ones we want as they are covering the main room, the hallway, my bedroom and both bathroom floors, and as is usually the way with me I have come full circle and we are going for the ones that I chose way back at the start of the kitchen design process.  Sometimes you have to trust your gut instinct and just go with it.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.  💖

  1. Good insulation will make such a difference on cold winter days. Definitely worth the investment

    1. This is an interior wall, the other walls have the heavy duty insulation shown on the video the other day. This is mostly for cancelling out sound as I'll be having a television against that wall. 🙂

  2. You’re going to be as snug as a bug in a rug! Looking forward to seeing the tiles. Catriona

    1. It will be quite a while until we see them down, we've just arranged for the screeding to be done in July. Then it will be underfloor heating, then more screeding and only then will the tiles make an appearance. 😄

  3. Hard flooring is the way to go, in my opinion. Hoovering carpet is hard work in comparison to hoovering a laminate floor.

    1. The only room with carpet will be Alan's bedroom, but that's what he wants. I like living with tiles and rugs. 😀

  4. If choosing floor tiles is anything like the deliberations we had over wall tiles for the shower room then I can sympathise with you.
