Over another coffee, we devised the shopping list and meals for the next few days. I decided to give the fridge a deep clean and throw out foods that were past their best, and I also tackled the food cupboard and tidied it up. Lastly, Keith and I took everything out of our herbs and spices cupboard and culled several items, some of which had expired in 2020! When they skulk at the back we don't notice them!
Sophie wanted to wash Olive, so we drove into Northampton but everyone else had the same idea and the car wash at Morrison's was packed. She decided to go home and wash the car herself instead! At least the weather was beautiful and sunny and perfect for getting out for some fresh air!
Before she washed the car, we had leftover baked potatoes from Friday night and Sophie made a start on the Mulligatawny soup for tonight's dinner, served with naan bread.
Once the car was washed, we ventured out for a walk. We decided to walk up to the village, but when we came out of the estate, we were surprised to see the road closed. We changed our minds and went to investigate, revelling in the empty road and peace! Cora, a cat who lives up the road, was sniffing about and let us stroke her, which was unusual! She normally runs off, but she did look a bit annoyed with us for some reason! I think it's her default face!
As we were walking down the road, a van reversed all the way up carrying cones, and then a road marking van went past, so they were obviously re-lining the road. The peace was shattered!
We turned back and called for Mooney so we could walk around the estate with him. He loved the walk with us and gambolled about sniffing the bushes and disappearing into gardens!
Back home, we sat with Keith in the living room and both Sophie and I read before it was time to prepare our very simple, but delicious supper. We watched Strictly Come Dancing: The Results and then enjoyed rhubarb crumble and cream. Yum!
