Scones part 2 and a bang on the head!

Well today was kind of a follow on from yesterday...(I know that days tend to do that) In that The posts are connected. This morning was coffee, Toast and the Archer's. It is my perfect way to start the day. Despite LSP feeling under the weather we still went to B& Q in search of a new toilet handle. 

Now does anyone go into B&Q and come out with 1 thing?

We dont! the purple bag contains the part. +2 bags of gravel, 2 batteries, 1 soup dispenser and 2 toothbrush holders. 

We went home to do the DIY. I however had a bit of a calamity. I remembered to put the sack truck into the car to take the bag of gravel. It was the laws of physics that surprised me. 

Ok it seemed so simple. Place the bag on the sack truck. simple. 

Truck at an angle.

Drop bag on truck

Truck stands upright

Hits me on the forehead. 

Ouch. 

The truck and head will go another day. 

LSP was concerned and highly amused all at the same time. (think person standing on rake)

later this afternoon. I turned my attention to the scones. 

After yesterday's disaster, I turned to a trusted friend, who makes fabulous scones for a tried and trusted recipe. 

Batch 1 ready for the oven

Batch 1 cooked. a bit dry 

Batch 2 better! I added an extra flz of milk and topped them with parmasan 

This is the monster one for LSP's lunch tomorrow. 

All tinned and ready to go for the morning. 

One of our team is leaving to have a baby, so we are having a little buffet! 

I know there will be cupcakes, Brownies and some cheese scones! 

Today I did some playing with my camera. 

It has been only used for snapping for recent months. 

So here we go with an Arty shot. 

Hope you all had a fab weekend.

Today I made Cheese Biscuits, They were supposed to be Cheese Scones!

That would be a scone fail!

I will try again tomorrow! Today started off well, we took YD to work this morning then had breakfast out. 

I had the strawberry and yoghurt granola with a capaccino 

lush breakfast. 

a bit of light shopping and then home. 

The dogs had some bones to chew on....

This afternoon I turned my attention to the dinning room cabinet. I love it, its my favourite piece of furniture in the house. It was our wedding present, we asked for vouchers and this is what we bought. We have had it 5 years now and I love it. it gives me so much pleasure and it is stuffed full of lovely things. 

a lovely variety of napkins, place mats, napkin rings and table cloths. 

and nice shiny cutlery. 

In the Sales we treated ourselves to some new glasses. 

We now have matching glasses for 6 people that is not Crystal (it has its place) we now have red wine glasses and white wine glasses, I feel so grown up. 

We had a lovely Christmas present of some amazing tea, with a teapot and cups. So I have cleared a shelf for them. 

How amazing is that!!

the teapot has pride of place in the cabinet.

The frost is hitting the garden and the colour is going. 

My Geraniums are finally being effected by the frost. 

So today was going so well, if you read this weeks posts you would know that I was planning to go to a party tonight! that was before LSP started to feel unwell. so we have shelved our Party plans and have our feet up in front of the sofa. I am watching "Take me out" Its nice no brainer TV an a laugh. 

my nice calm day tomorrow has also been scuppered by the toilet handle breaking. 

So its off to B&Q in the morning and a bit of DIY from LSP, (who has already sorted out a temporary solution) 

Well , I am off to put the kettle on and have a nice cup of tea and a biscuit 

(chocolate not cheese) 

happy weekend x
