The morning was spent cleaning the house and preparing our lunch of roast chicken. Keith prepared the vegetables and peeled the potatoes we'd bought at Farndon Fields yesterday. We normally buy Maris Piper potatoes, so I was interested to see how they'd compare.
Before we ate lunch, Sophie and I tried to do our Advanced Passenger Information for our flight to Vienna next May, but we couldn't find the booking reference or the email from BA. In the end, Sophie called them and realised she'd given the wrong email address, so when they sent it through again, it was a huge relief. However, we couldn't do it anyway, as my passport needs to be renewed in January after our trip to Normandy!
Keith and Sophie cooked the lunch while I sat and chatted to them and sipped a glass of sparkling Loire wine. The smells were delicious, and it was like Christmas! By 3pm, we were sitting down to eat, and the meal was lovely. I'm not sure I'd use the Orla potatoes again as they didn't have a lot of colour and not much taste! Rather than the usual vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage), we heated up a pack of red cabbage, and stir-fried the Brussels Sprouts with bacon. There was enough left to make a chicken traybake for tomorrow's dinner.
The afternoon was spent lolling on the sofa, reading and having a sneaky nap! Keith watched the England-Albania game, and Sophie and I opened the bottle of white we'd bought in Duncan's shop yesterday. It was like drinking light peach syrup and was delicious!
Before bed, we caught ten minutes of I'm A Celebrity, but we decided to record it, so we could avoid the adverts. We only recognised about half of the celebrities taking part!
