Five photo Thursday

Yesterday's sunrise silence was shattered yesterday.

Constant traffic and noise. My office overlooks this corner and short of relocating it to the lounge, I have to deal with it. The couch is my weekend office and the office is set up for work. Large monitor, keyboard and mouse...not a lap, laptop, small screen and touch pad. At least I had no virtual meetings but I did have a deadline and a long to do list.

That concrete lorry visited at least five beeping times. Oh, and that empty plot, on the corner?

That's also being prepared for a build. In among all of this they graded the road up the hill. I am not apologising for being grumpy. I have to get it out of my system. Somehow.

Then it was kinda breakfast for supper. After a day of noise and cat herding, I needed some sauce. I had another happy duck egg delivery from farmer P. I am a sucker for poaching them while they are fresh. I also have a stash of sourdough rolls after a bunch of dismal markets and there were mushrooms in the fridge.

White wine and mushroom sauce went between the egg and the toasted bun and finished off with fresh parsley.

We were both a lot happier after those plates of comfort and salad.

Today, I am in my other office. The kitchen. I shall be spending a lot of time there in the next seven days. Eight days from today is the Winter Fair.

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

  • re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
  • and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.
  • From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.

Oh dear, sounds like you're going to have a lot of noise from the building site Fiona, but your bnb could offer perfect accommodation if they're not local?
I hope tomorrow's market turns out better

The builders are local as are the owners. For that, at least one must be grateful.
