Yesterday I totally overdid it. I tidied, dusted, cleaned, vacuumed and mopped the vestibule, studio, hallway, living room and kitchen; vacuumed the stairs, landing and bathroom; washed the front door; did the ironing; baked cookies and made butter. By the end of the day I was exhausted and my back was hurting but dang if my house don't look good. Now if someone can stop me from eating those cookies that would be great.
Today I had my hair cut and visited the farmer's market where I bought cauliflower, red cabbage, lettuce, strawberry jam, pork and apple sausages, lamb and mint burgers and a piece of ostrich fillet that Grant has been obsessing about. At £28.50 per kilo it would probably be cheaper if he was after crack cocaine but he'll have to be satisfied with the teeny tiny piece of fillet that I bought. South Africa this is not.
As evidenced by the downpour I was caught in while shopping at the market. I had to take cover under the awning at a baked goods stall where, thankfully, I was not tempted to purchase anything due to my own mad baking skillz.
I also scored a pair of cords and a pair of jeans, a (new) lightweight sweater and a blouse at the charity shops - came to £17.50 for the lot! And the British Heart Foundation thanks me.
Tonight I am going on a girl's night out to eat Chinese. I think I'll wear my new pair of cords. Because at this rate, my size 10's (US size 6) won't fit me for long.
Way to go making others feel bad about themselves. Now I feel like I have to keep up and bake something.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though - you are my inspiration.
I was looking at your photos of all the yummy stuff you bake and thinking, "how does she stay sooo slim!" Now I know, you work it off! You truly ispire me!
