… tea, that was. Mashed potatoes, carrots, peas, vegan sausages and cauliflower cheese. The vegan cheese doesn’t melt very well so it could have been better, but not with the material that I have to hand.
The bad news is that I finished off the apple crumble tonight. With ice cream yet again, because I’d used the saucepan to make the cheese sauce. All in all, a meal fit for a king.
But what was even better was that the meteorological conditions tonight were absolutely perfect. Not only could I see the street lights or similar out on the Isle of Jersey, but all of the lights on the island were reflected in the clouds so that there was a pale glow in the sky right over where the island is, and it was magnificnt.
You can tell that I’m feeling a little better today.
Strangely enough, I had a bad night’s sleep. My head cold has started up again which is no surprise after being soaked to the skin on Sunday, so it took ages to go to sleep. And I was awake early too.
However, I’d been on my travels too during the night. Back into one of the offices where i worked and everyone from the manager down to the most junior office assistant, was harassing me, and enjoying it too. Not that this was any surprise – it was the story of my life and never bothered me in the past – but it was just by way of a remark.
I managed to beat the second alarm call and so we had a nice early breakfast. And a little more tidying up and sorting out the freezer, labelling all of the stuff that I’ve cooked in the past.
And I also had a little snooze too – but nothing like as deep as yesterday’s efforts.
After lunch I was away with the fairies again for a short while and then I had a stroke of luck.
You may remember from a few days ago that I was sorting out a huge pile of photos going back years. But I’d … errr … misplaced the keywords for the sorting. And browsing around here and there, I managed to come across something that dated back to about 2006 and while it didn’t contain all of the information that I needed, i gave me enough to get going with while I make further enquries.
Another thing that I did was to find on my Social Networking site a group of people who are interested in old lorries. I’ve joined it and I’ll be posting the odd photo here and there and asking for help in identifying them.
At about 16:00 I went out for a walk around the walls. And a little deviation to see how they were getting on with replacing the water pipes.
You may remember that a couple of weeks ago I went to this meeting where they were discussing this programme to replace all of the lead piping in the Old Town, and they had started on Monday, so I was keen to see how they were doing.
And they seem to be making good progress too, which makes a nice change.
Now I’m fed and watered, been out for another walk in the moonlight, and now I’m ready for an early night.
I hope that I’ll be feeling a little better tomorrow too.
