Keith and I went to the Weston Favell Centre this morning to see if we could get Sophie's furry bedspread cleaned (it really needs it!). We asked at Timpson's and they quoted us £35 which was ridiculous! I don't think it cost much more than that!
We decided to leave it and headed over to Kettering to do the weekly shop, a day early, as there were loads of ingredients we needed for two meals we were cooking - Coq au Riesling on Thursday night and a Thai Yellow Curry on Sunday. Both recipes were from the Hairy Bikers' Chicken and Egg cookbook.
It was a bit of a marathon shop as among the ingredients we needed were Kafir Lime leaves, ginger, lemongrass stems, fish sauce and some spices that we didn't have such as coriander. By the time we finished our heads were spinning!
After we'd unpacked everything at home it was time for some lunch in the garden and before I went to the school Keith and I put up some little fairy lights in the Jasmine bush opposite the conservatory.
We spent the whole of the after-school session in the playground and had three children of a couple of teachers who were doing some training in the swimming pool. It's been a beautiful day today and it was great to get out into the playground and watch the children have fun!
Back home it was drinks in the conservatory, a game of cards and then jacket potatoes for dinner!
