Narnia And The Spare Room

It is 5.30 and I am up no idea why but there you have it, husband has tootled off to work so I might as well get up . I have a school trip to go to as year 2 are studying Victorians which should be great fun and hopefully the weather will be sunny. Do you ever wish you hadn't started a certain job at a certain time ? I mean why on earth when I woke at 5.30 did I decide to start tidying the spare room ? In Narnia the spare room was a whole load more fun and prompted adventure , yes there was a lion and an evil Snow Queen buy hmmm we can't have it all.

As I typing this it is just me and the Bob the wood pigeon that seems alert in this world , the promise of the day is quite refreshing to wake before the whole of the rest of the world or so it seems to you . The promise that is yet to come , for me it is going to be the blooming spare room to make some sort of sense of it before I go to school. I know at some pointing I am going to have to go the the holy grail of furniture stores IKEA and by shelving to put the stuff on , I will throw out as I go along , stuff where does stuff magic itself from ?


I have other blog stuff to organise an edit is so sunny out I better not forget the washing , mind telepathy tells me that my husband could have done this but we will let him off. I mean yesterday a burning smell doesn't constitute that I am responsible , today no it wasn't me .... Yesterday Rollie should have gone to the vets for his annual injection , normally I block the door with my brabantia bin ( any brand will do ) this time I used the heavy and I mean heavy washing basket but .... guess what Rollie pushed it and ran out. There upon there was a Benny Hill chase around the neighbourhood calling for Rollie , oooh I suppose I got my 10,00 steps for the day !  he goes next week instead so this time I will leave the husband in charge.


My son has got his 6 th form bridging day this week and soon it will be coming up to the prom /ball doesn't time fly

Anyway must dash ...







OOOH I wonder what is in that cupboard ?

Any sorting organising tips welcome !

Off to the Spare room in Narnia

Carrot Tahini Salad

I have been rather slack I have say with my meal planning as it's been GCSE central here for the last few months , so meal times have been fraught at times .With my son dashing getting food and racing off the study , as that was he wanted to do I really wasn't going to cram his studying style he is older enough now to regulate himself.

Sunday

Today is my school Inset day so I am going back and relaxing , plans include glamorous house work, popping to the post office and a rumble in the charity shop. I'm feeling quite relaxed , I have been watching Bob the wood pigeon from my kitchen window . Bob is basically a flying house brick , he waits for the little birds to finish on the bird feeder then bobs about the lawn. He has much grace as a dancing hippo in Fantasia.

Silent Sunday

Primula Chicken Potato Slice

It unites us.

It divides us.

We like it.

We love it.

We loathe it.

Food.

We just need to demystify food , and get ourselves out of a slump.


How about a simple recipe with just 4 ingredients ?


Ingredients

4 chicken breasts

4 large potatoes sliced

A glug of olive oil

Squeeze of primula


Method 

Preheat the oven to 190 c

Slice the potatoes into thinnish slices

Next put a layer of them on the bottom of a rectangular dish

Add a glut of oil over the potato slices.

Then add the chicken

Squeeze some primula


After this add another layer of potato

Just brush some oil onto the top later of potato


Cook for about 50 minutes

Longer if necessary and do keep checking as you want the potato crispy not burnt.


Disclosure ~ I was sent some primula to use as I wish and this is what I came up with a quick tea with minimal ingredients.

The Six Million Dollar Blogger

Blogging for me is a friendship I never thought I would have , true I've had my up down and roundabout moments. 

I was broken in fact for a while , I was lost and there's so many people that so need to thank.  Thank because they've rebuilt me from worry boots up to the hair that has a life of its own.

I'm pitching to you person to person , blogger to blogger that hereby I'll never be afraid to be the person I am.

I'm the six million dollar blogger and I've been rebuilt!

If you saw me last year I was on the edge

I'm back ...

I'm good to the bone
