I had plans to be very productive today, but it's turning out to be a bit of an indoor, computer-based one. Not quite a duvet day although that's the kind of mood I'm in. I'm very sleepy. I've been taking a herbal sleep supplement as I've been having trouble sleeping again. It's helped, but today I feel very foggy-headed. I'm forcing myself to take a walk as I need cake ingredients and the sun has just come out again.
I'm searching for a new place for us to live, with any luck the last place we rent before we're able to buy. Haven't seen anywhere yet that's grabbed me, we saw some nice new flats in a new development, but they were too....new. I want somewhere unfurnished and a little bit lived in, with a decent kitchen. I can't cope with an old, small and badly laid out kitchen. No way.
I'm also doing some Egyptology stuff, I need to write a short essay on one of the Gods. Nice.
I have a fridge full of plums too. A lot of people are selling them from the front of their houses and I have two carrier bags full. I'm going to make a plum cake and some jam. YUM.
If anyone has a plum jam recipe, let me know. I've been looking online and I can't find one with a full method which I find weird.
