What have you done today thread?

[Noggin]

Well, today so far I've made a pear and almond flan/tart!! For the same chalet friends as I've made cakes this week.

I ended up with left over pastry and egg whites, so 'had' to go and get some lemons to make lemon curd and then little lemon meringue pies!! LOL (The little shop up here doesn't have lemon curd, so have to make some

Got to wait a bit as meeting a friend for a beer in a bit! Might be a 'this evening' job after the physio (if he isn't too brutal!!)

It's a friends 40th on Sunday, so I'm going to make a cake for her and will take the Lemon Meringue Pies and maybe some cupcakes along - looks like we're planning a 'not quite' party down by a lake (that's frozen over). Unlikely that we'll get the BBQs dug out and useable, but I think it'll be a nice little get together! Just got to keep my baking mojo going

My daughter and I are both working from home today. But we’re both watching a film instead! She just made me lunch, an egg and bacon roll and kept the egg runny! She masters my favourite brunch just as she is about to move out!!

Have a you list of what's in there? Is there a backstory?

IMHO you cannot beat a banjo for breakfast!

Lots of stones from various places in Africa, across Europe, various volcanoes, including Etna, Mount Ranier and one from Japan (Fuji) I think. So we do have a good collection of memories in there. Also some fossils my son was interested in. Bigger ones do not fit in there though! Will have another display for those at some point.

Liberated a cabinet from the workshop that is being converted in a gents shower/changing room at work and put it in the shed at home.

Took the bread knife to pharmacy for a jab. She is Oxfordized now and I'll be checking for signs of pompous behaviour and stiff upper lip syndrome.

Mowed the front lawn after a second cup of coffee. Waiting for the rear lawn to dry out a bit more before I attempt mowing it. Might get my son to do that one. He can earn some pocket money and give my aching back a break.

Looked at the bike and thought, "nice, I want to go for a ride!", so I might do that later on if wife gets shopping trip done early enough.

A friend was going to the valley to shop and was kind enough to give me a lift (I haven't been down for nearly 3 weeks I think, so needed to stock up a bit!)

Did the supermarket shop - weirdly it was quieter today than normal. Just shows how many people are having to do changeover cleans, but a bonus for those of us trying to avoid people!! LOL

Then went to the market, mainly to see a friend that has a cake stall but we were a bit late. Did catch up with Jess and when I told Stuart that she was selling cream teas she mentioned that she still had one that hadn't sold. Sorted - I still owe him a beer, but he's got 2 scones, jam and some proper Rodda Clotted Cream!! (I also have scones and clotted cream! LOL)

Now home to chill for a bit then make a 40th birthday cake and maybe some cupcakes for tomorrow And watch the rugby of course!!

My lad gave me a haircut followed by first cut of the lawns, bloody great day.

How did you move that baby into the workshop?

How did you move that baby into the workshop?

Asked a farmer mate with a Telehandler to poke it in the workshop - an then rolled it on scaffold tubes - levers - swearing (don’t underestimate the value of four letter words) with the help of my neighbour.

Had to move the lathe - empty the entire garage and then put it all back.... I’m fucked.

I bet you are,but pleasantly fucked,knowing the job is well done is much better than being fucked and the job still needs doing.
