SO BLOODY YUM!

 Last night's dessert was so amazing, I just have to share.

ABOVE:  THIS.  This is amazing!  So rich.  A tiny hint of ALCOHOL !  And way, way too small a serving.

What surprised me the most though?  The two servings were in LITTLE GLASS TUMBLERS.

So surprised, totally expected the usual plastic tubs.

Made in Italy of all places.  Imported into New Zealand via Australia.  I don't even know how much they were.... but next time I buy some I will find out.

Probably quite expensive.  But so nice.

Now... what are my plans for today?

I've got a big basket of washing to fold and put away.  Another load of linen to hang out.

Vacuming.  And that's about it. 🐥🐤🐣

It's card night this evening, I'll need to get dinner sorted out for Stew.  I'm thinking maybe a crock pot of pea and bacon soup.  I got some bacon out of the freezer yesterday, so will use that.

So that's sussed.  

BUT at the moment I'm not sure if I will go to Cards.  I didn't enjoy it last time.  

I've tried putting it down here why I didn't enjoy cards last time, but no matter how I word it, it doesn't come out right.  

And if I do put it on here, I'm bound to get shot down in flames by dozens of people!

Let's just say my feelings and opinion on a 'hot topic' didn't go down well.   I respect others choices, so you really should respect mine too.

First time I've felt discord in our lovely card group.

Last thing for me to remember for today... A doctor's appointment.  I need to get a new prescription, and also something to help me feel less.... up 'n' down?  My mood is too erratic for my liking right now.

It is only because there's a lot on my plate right now... juggling lots of issues that play out in my mind too much.

I overthink far too much!

Are you like that too?  Tell me I'm not alone in this?

I suppose back in the day I would be called a 'worrier'.  Stew calls me that.  He's right though.  

If I don't hear from a kid for a while I worry something is wrong. Or if Stew's late home from Rotorua, same thing.  I imagine all the 'terrible' scenarios, like they've had an accident is the most common one.

I'm sure that's because both my brothers and Dad died in accidents.  It's a horrible feeling worrying all the time.

I need a chill pill!  😂😅😊

So, once it's 9 am, I'm gunna ring and make an appointment, and get me sorted.  It helps just knowing I'm gunna do something positive about it.

OMG I can't believe I forgot to tell you guys this too....

GRIFFIN got a job!

He moved back to Hamilton recently, and got a job fairly quickly.  He did a 'trial' day on Friday last week, then started proper yesterday.

We are so very proud of him, he's finally working.  And he's grown and matured and is a really lovely young man, just as we always knew he was.

He just went through a rough patch for a while, as some teenagers do.  

11 am:  And all is going well with the morning.  The sun is out, so is the washing.  Free drying today 😊.

The crock pot has been on since 8.30 with our dinner and is already smelling delicious.

I've got some garlic buttered bread rolls to go with it.

I've not put away the washing yet... one of my pet peeves.  Mum used to let it pile up in the spare bedroom for weeks I reckon!  I'm not quite that slow at doing it.

Vacuuming?  Might get around to that later.

Right now, I'm just enjoying sitting in a sunny spot, listening to my music.

I could stay here a while.

Well... I've had a wonderful afternoon.  I took the dogs for a walk, which they loved. Then I did some of my jig saw, slowly making progress.

Dinner is ready, I just have to cook the bread rolls in the oven for 5 minutes.

Stew should be home in about an hour.

Then we can have dinner, and enjoy a quiet night in front of the telly.

I'm not going to cards tonight.  I'm just not in the right frame of mind for it.  No point going and being a grump.

ABOVE: And here I am... just chilling out.

Is anyone else like me, can't 'just' watch the TV?

I have to be doing a puzzle, or Sudoku or a card game while watching the telly?

I do it almost every single night.

Now though, I'm gunna sign off for the day.

Catch ya tomorrow.
