Sunday, May 20
Bah. I suppose I'll have to go back to work tomorrow. I've enjoyed my time off. I've found time to do all sorts of things I've never done. On Friday, Rachael set me the mini-challenge of cooking something from scratch, using only ingredients already in the kitchen. This rather panicked me as my previous experience of cooking was in Home Economics class. Still I happily accepted and spent several hours making a cracking Spag Boll, using the instructions from the back of a Tomato Puree tube. Wasn't too pleased then, when she rang up. "Don't worry about dinner," she said. "I've just had a sandwich at my mum's."Oh well, I've frozen it, so she'll have to eat it sometime...After several months of nagging about the grass being too long and the soil beds full of weeds, I've just spent the last few days mowing, pruning and weeding. The knees of my jeans are muddy and worn, and I feel shattered, but really content enough. Gardening in the sunshine is one of life's underrated pleasures. Sadly lots of spiders though...I went to church this morning to hear our banns being read for the wedding. For those of you not familiar with the term, these are the legal announcements of weddings that are called three times before a wedding. A bit like planning applications, or something. There was a russian choir visiting, and what a treat it was. There were just four of them, but the harmonies were out of this world. I should go to church more...I've also finally finished 'The Lord of The Silver Bow', the first part of the Troy trilogy by David Gemmell. I'm happy to say it was one of the most unexpectedly enjoyable reads I've ever come across. Not literally, you understand, but it was great. It's a fictionalised account of the infamous Troy, and was really well written. I think Tesco are selling it for £3.73, so if you get the chance, pick it up.Oh, and I'm now on Xbox Live, gamertag is McGARIACHI. Cheers.
