Nothing Unusual........

 
We had a quiet weekend, my foot was still healing and the weather was absolutely dreadful. What was beautiful sunshine was suddenly turning to a thunder and lightning storm, with rain coming down like "stair rods" as my mum would say. 

To brighten our lives, give us something to do and make the house smell yummy we made a cake together. Basic Victoria sponge sandwiched with the quince jelly mmmmmmm
Mid-September and the heating has been on a couple of times. Two days this week I've worn a roll neck. But by the end of the week it was warm again, Friday afternoon back up to 24°C.

As we were washing the covers for these two chairs (a rare event) Hubby wondered if we could improve the padding in the seats. 
Easiest solution was I cut some layers from a redundant thin duvet that we'd replaced and Hubby then had the really difficult job of forcing the really tight covers back on and ensuring it still attached to the velcro fixtures. 
So pleased it was him not me. 

Two bread puddings came out well. One for our cake tin and one in the freezer. 
You may remember July last year (2024) I went through Specsavers and got hearing-aids but then couldn't wear them once I'd started with these cancer drugs mid-August so took them back. Well I've decided to try the NHS Audiology route and a GP this week has put in the required referral. I've heard lots about their incredibly long waiting list so let's see how long it takes. 

I'm going to post this and dash now as we are booked for Doggy Day Care with an early start to get R to work and O to the station too. So while Hubby is chauffeur I need to dog proof the lounge with matting on the windowsill (her favourite viewing point) and blankets on the leather suite. 

TTFN
