To do..or not to do..

Sunday. Always a kind of 'What shall I do?' day. I made some iced doughnuts yesterday (miniature ones, not real ones) and they turned out quite well, so I'm thinking of making some chocolate eclairs today. I have a pile of ironing as tall as Mount Everest which I'm trying hard to ignore, but every now and then it creeps up behind me and says, 'Hey - remember me? I'm your big pile of ironing and I'm making the bedroom look like some kind of jumble-sale...' and then I feel guilty for a few minutes until my auto-ignore mode kicks in again. But yeah..... I'm going to have to get it sorted. In a bit.

I was going to make some real-life fairy cakes yesterday but my muffin tray seems to have disappeared. Where on Earth do muffin trays hide? Why would it even want to? It's not as though it has a hard life - I hardly ever use the damn thing so it has absolutely no reason to be this troublesome.

I'm sitting here in the hope that suddenly I will write something profound, or at least vaguely interesting, but I don't think it's going to happen. Not today, anyway. It may do, perhaps on Wednesday or Thursday, but definitely not today.

Update: I made the eclairs... the fact that they're made from Fimo clay does NOT stop me wanting to eat them!

First Scribble.....

Looking out of the window, I can see that the sky is grey again. I don't think it's going to rain today it hasn't got that feel to it, but I don't think I'm going to get an hours sunbathing in today! I'm drinking a small glass of apple cider vinegar and honey - something I started taking for a sore throat a few days ago. It's really doing the trick! I prefer homemade remedies rather than the stuff dished out by doctors.

This blog is a place for me to write my thoughts, my interests, little snippets of life when I feel like tapping away on the keyboard with a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) in front of me. I might even write the odd story or poem, if the mood takes me - though that's something I haven't done for a long time! I like taking photos - I'll probably put quite a few on here, and I like dolls houses - one of my hobbies is making miniatures and I'd like to eventually have a dolls house furnished entirely with things that I've made myself. In fact, I'd like to build the house itself, that would be good :o)

I'm getting into gardening this year, I have some veggies coming up - my potato plants are growing huge now and I'm waiting for them to get some flowers on. I think I'm going to have to prop them up a bit because some of them are falling to one side - I'll have to tackle that after work tonight. My tomatoes are doing well, I've got two different varieties and they are looking good. I've got marrows and cauliflowers too.
