Too warm

Today is dragging.... it's another glorious day and I should be out there enjoying it, but it so hot! There's no breeze and I'm still suffering from my previous sun burn. I've started to peel now too which looks unpleasant and shows off how stupid I was to go out for a day without any sun cream.

I have no energy for anything and I'm feeling ratty. I've done all the work that has been sent to me for the day already, I've read my fave blogs and scouted around for some more and I've collected the last of my avon money. Now I have nothing to do - well nothing that doesn't involve getting even hotter and rattier. I don't even have the energy to play any of my games.

I am concidering sacking everything in for the day and lounging in the back garden with my book and a cold drink. And sun cream! At least in my own back garden hardly anyone will see my scabbie peeling shoulder, and in admidst the general shite we have lying around the garden (old bits of table and shevling which were supposed to go to the tip when I still had a car big enough to shift them, but we never got round to it) my flacking skin will be the last thing the neighbours will bother raising an eyebrow too.

I'm into the last book in a serise of 5; Earths Children by Jean M Auel and it's brilliant. But I've got so attached to the characters that I am feeling loathed to finish this last book. It's a long time since I have been gripped by a book (well, serise of books) and I don't have anything of equal calibur to follow them *pout* I do have some V. C. Andrews books that Jacquie has bought me over the last couple of years, but I'm missing the first two in that serise so I don't feel inclinded to start reading them. The last ones I have are from the De Beers serise. I have got some horror backing up, a few Dean Koontz and the like but I'm not in the mood for horror right now. I want some thing a bit friendlier, maybe something sweet and silly like "The Undomestic Godess" that I read a couple of months back - not my normal stuff at all but Fay gave it to me when I told her I'd been baking etc.

*sigh*

I'm just waffling now for something to do. So I shall go and get myself some sun and some nice iced water, and read my book.

Try not to melt lass! We're in the middle of a 95+ degree hot snap here too. It isn't comfy at all, but it gives a good excuse to drink though.

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
