Yes, more brown food and one of my specialities – the fridge forage. Today’s was frozen pork & beef meatballs cooked with sweet onions, garlic, portobellos, amontillado… buttery mash with wilted baby spinach on the side. Took me about two hours to do this and it totally saved me. Because I woke up this morning not sure how I was going to get through another day, as in what the fuck was I going to do with all those hours. So I did a bit of this and that, realised I wasn’t able to go out, and then decided to COOK SOMETHING. In the end I got to do something creative, share it on my social media (yes, I’m one of those) and also have a tasty meal. By then I was calmer and could settle down with Morcilla to do a bit of Netflixing. Somehow it’s now almost time for bed, again, and then it will be tomorrow, again. Wish me luck!

I’m very well able to occupy myself, there never seems to be enough time for all the nothing I’d like to fit in – all the reading, jigsawing, binge-watching, social media-ing and playing silly games on my phone. But all through the last year and a bit I have been so grateful that I could work from home. Knowing I had a full day planned 5 days a week made the extra spare time I had (2 hours a day NOT driving to and from work) very special rather than a chore.
I wish I had some suggestions for how to fill your day. But your fridge forages are so interesting, and they look so delicious – they make my soft boiled eggs on toast, yet again, seem a bit dull 😀

To be honest I could easily fill up my day with a lot of “nothing” and feel good about it, if I weren’t constantly worried about losing my home. It’s really my main worry and it’s a big one. I can’t sleep, and when I do I have nightmares. So yeah, I guess it’s not really about what to do all day, it’s more about how to not think about all the scary stuff.

I’m so sorry, I can’t even begin to imagine how terrifying that must feel.

Well Deb, everyone is going through their own stuff, with their own problems and worries. I should probably stop mentioning mine here. xx

Definitely not! This is your space to say what you want!
Reading your blog is something I’ve enjoyed for many years, sometimes with my heart in my mouth, sometimes with tears of laughter at cat antics, salivating over gorgeous looking food…
Your take on the pandemic has been eye opening, showing me life outside my own narrow experience.
What I’m trying to say in my clumsy way is that your content is worth it.

Aww thanks Deb. I guess the other thing is that nobody’s being forced to read this blog, so if they don’t like the content then they should stop (not me). xx
