A quiet Tuesday

I drove myself to work today and parked easily. The problems of a few weeks ago seem to be over, and I wonder whether something was going on at the hospital to make it busier? It's certainly a relief to get a space!

Today has been mostly quiet, and I accomplished Sara's job first thing with ease. Back at home, I was looking forward to a day off tomorrow and a chance to catch up with the blog. Oh, and see if I could have some help with my heel, as Sophie was threatening to take her friend Becky to Berlin instead of me!

Sophie had a headache this evening, and we half-heartedly watched MasterChef before dinner. We are making notes of the culinary terms again this year. They include:

Cookery - the most used word last year, and something that irritated us. Cookery is what we did at school; cooking is what the contestants are doing! Far fewer than last year so far - 6 mentions   

A crumb - 12 mentions

A tuile - Just 5 so far

Influenced by parents or grandparents - a whopping 17!

Contestants crying - 13

Showing off about travels - 10

"Three ways" (always sounds vaguely dodgy to me) - 2

Chocolate fondant - just 1!

And then we have Anna keep saying "Orf (off) it". "I'm getting a real flavour orf it" - 10

Anna's assorted colourful headbands - too many to count!

And this made us laugh: "A segmented orange", i.e. a slice...

After a very simple supper (we should have had chicken fajitas, but Sophie didn't fancy cooking them or eating them), we went upstairs to watch another episode. However, my poor daughter fell asleep, so we'll catch up tomorrow!
