Monday Again ...
... Although this week the washing is up on my indoor airer. I am lucky with a 3 story house so have an airer to hang over the stairwell which means they dry fairly quickly, and still smell fresh (& no electric for a tumble drier).
I realised over the weekend that I forgot an addition to my daily meme question about the history/age of our names. Deborah was early early history, my surname early 17th century ... but the nickname was the early 1990's ... Debris is such an appropriate name for me, especially seeing as the question was on Friday when I had bumps and bruises everywhere!
Weekend shifts went well. In fact I am so thankful that I wasn't on duty on the reverse shifts as Mel who did the other 2 shifts had a couple of heart-attack patients arrive at the entrance rather than A&E ... and sadly one was a baby, who even sadder passed away. We all "talk" about the possibilities, but I don't suppose you can ever come to terms with it. Well maybe it shows we are still human if we find it hard to come to terms with such events.
Now I have a couple of days off. I had aimed to go to see Auntie Joyce to see if she had made any decisions, but seeing as the knee and wrists still ache I had cancelled the trip. On the bad side that means I have no excuse not to clean out that large kitchen cupboard.
Still I am sure I can think of some great excuses! After all I do want to have a walk, and am running low on milk so need to get that anyway. Since my trip to Turkey I do like black tea ... but drink it weak that way, and much prefer strong "builder's" tea with milk.
So ... let's get on ...
6 - Start of the British Pie Week! What is your favourite savoury pie? How about your favourite sweet pie? Is a pasty lid on top of a casserole really a pie?
Mum used to make the most amazing chicken pie. I used to watch her do it at least every other week, and can't remember what she did. And, guess whta, I never got her to write down what she added.
She also made a raspberry pie (as well as apple) to die for ... Dad's favourite.
Most of her fruit pies had a "empty" bottom, but still had pastry sides and top ... her chicken one had a top & bottom.
Now having typed that it makes me wish for a slice of both those pies again.
Right now I am hungry! I shall get myself a cup of tea before I do anything else. I am trying to be a good girl this week, as over the weekend I end up having quite a few biscuits, so I am sure the calories were a bit high!
So, will catch up with you soon x
