The face of a dog who was forced to go out in the rain and who I won’t share my breakfast with. Furious. #DogsOfBluesky

Mums in hospital, after a suspected TIA. She’s had several over the years - although because of their transient nature they’re hard to diagnose. Please keep everything crossed for her. I want to visit but not sure of flights with bloody fuel situation.

@nicoleyc17.bsky.social I’m trying to compile a list of recipes I like to cook. I looking for the slow cooker massaman beef recipe we all cooked last winter. Do you recall which one it was?

Thought I’d over baked the Bara Brith yesterday so had to try some for lunch topped with cheese. Passed the test. Will bake slightly less next time. 🍽️🍜🍇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🫖

Just out of the oven, Barra Brith (Welsh tea loaf). Smells fabulous but needs to have a long hard think about itself before it’s ready to eat. 🍽️🍜🍇🫖

Dinner tonight was Nagi’s chicken curry. Really easy and very few ingredients. I added extra veg. I’d definitely make it again. 🍽️🍜🍗🧅🧄🫚🥥🥕

One of my favourite photos from 7 years ago. We used to speculate whether Peri was growing or plotting her next shenanigans. #DogsOfBluesky

Dinner tonight was homemade beef & pork burgers. Very good and very messy. 🍽️🍜🌿🍅🍔🧀🧅

Dinner tonight is prawn tacos with 2 delicious salsas. Very good for a warmer night. 🍽️🍜🍅🥑🌿🌽🥬🍋‍🟩🧅

Four years ago today dad died. I miss the man he was when we were growing up. Dementia stole that. Hope he’s got a fabulous glass of red. 💔

When you’re cheeky and you know it wag your tail. #DogsOfBluesky

Omg just realised I forgot Peri’s gotcha day. We got her 7 years ago yesterday. She was a puppy dynamo, she still has crazy sessions but mostly she’s great company. #DogsOfBluesky

Dinner tonight was beef banh mi, good and easy. 🍽️🍜🥩🥒🥖🌿🥬

Mum, privacy please. Dallas and I are having a little kissy face. We were joined by Dallas this morning, who took up front row to watch every single mouthful of breakfast! #DogsOfBluesky

The bathroom’s finished - sort of. It’s operational and rest can be resolved at some stage. Phew. Very pleased to have the house to ourselves.

Awake early so made some carrot cake baked oats. These are lovely still warm from the oven. 🥣🍽️🥕🍇🥚🥛🫐🫚

Grrrrrr to the tradie that just tried to gaslight me. Tried to tell me some bullshit story then when I pushed said “I’m not a cabinetmaker”. Yep I know mate neither am I but I can read a f^*king plan. The panel has been incorrectly manufactured and I discovered it. There may be swearing today!!!!!

If you are old enough to be a fan of Men Behaving Badly watch Neil & Martin's Bon Voyage. My husband is recreating one of the ridiculous scenes. Very silly and lots of laughs. Peri is dubious! #DogsOfBluesky

Needed some variety in my breakfast so made overnight oats. Definitely a work in progress. Needed more liquid and some crunch - maybe toasted nuts. Any good tips for less gloopy o/n oats? 🥣🍽️🍇🌱🥛

Dinner tonight was a Mexican chopped salad with prawns. Good for a very warm evening. 🍜🍽️🍤🌽🫘🥒🍅🥬🌿🧀🌶️

Wordle 1,715 4/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟨 🟩⬜🟨🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Yes sure use this word daily!

Poor Peri being held in a headlock. She disapproves of her dad also being her hair dresser. #DogsOfBluesky

Dinner tonight was pork pie, rocket, beetroot, feta & walnut salad, bbq potato etc. Good for another warm night. 🍽️🍜🫜🧀🥧🥚🥔🥒

Dinner tonight was NYT Crazy Crust Pizza topped with rocket. Served with salad. 🍽️🍜🍕🍅🧅🍄‍🟫🧀🌿🥑🥒

Woohoo. Best rain we’ve had in months. Keep going. Garden will be making slurping sounds. ☔️

Omg why are the final bits of the bathroom reno the hardest. So many minute details to get right. Trying to pick paint today. Want some definition between walls and tiles.

Nearly end of week 5 bathroom renovation, tiling finished. Tomorrow vanity & fittings are going in. Next week plumber, sparky, caulking, painting, granite install & shower screen. I love the bath tile detail - irl it all looks lighter.

Dinner tonight was @smittenkitchen.bsky.social Skillet Turkey Chili. Delicious, easy and a few ingredients. 🍜🍽️🦃🍅🌶️🫘🧄🧅🌿🧀🥑

Mini chocolate & zucchini muffins - just out of the oven. Most will go into the freezer. 🍽️🍜🍫

Today we went to Fitzroy & treasury gardens for a walk. Absolutely beautiful day - but very warm.

Just in case you have a brownie emergency, here’s @nigella.bsky.social recipe. The ideal valentine’s (or any time) recipe as it’s only 2 largish served. 🍜🍽️🍫👩‍🍳 www.nigella.com/recipes/emer...

A lovely valentines dinner at home tonight. Bbq chicken with peanut butter bbq sauce, veg & salad, followed by @nigella.bsky.social emergency brownie with raspberries & ice cream. 🍽️🍜🍗🥔🥗🌽🍨🍫

Floor & bath hob tiles done. I love the job tiles so much. Next week wall tiles to go. Yahoo

It’s raining. Yahoooooo.

Afternoon tea is served. Date & walnut loaf. Yum. Baked fresh today. 🍜🍽️☕️🌴

Peri is having to rest on the bed. This morning she’s been out to breakfast, been to the vet for annual shots and had a bath. All before midday. Phew. #DogsOfBluesky

Came across some of my favourite photos of Peri and her gang when she went on group walks during lockdown. The walkers were geniuses at wrangling the pack and taking wonderful photos. #DogsOfBluesky

Dinner tonight was NYT Crazy Crust Pizza with Sausage. The crust doesn’t have yeast and it’s more like a pancake. All baked in a skillet - onions, leftover sausage & mushrooms first stage. Tomato & cheese added at the end. Very good. 🍜🍽️🍕🧅🍄‍🟫🧀🍅

Busy morning rehoming stuff. I love our local group as I usually get rid of everything. Today it’s unwanted Xmas present, new underwear, crazed crockery, extra hair dryer etc. I live to declutter.

We had waterproofing done today. Pretty stinky in the house so we went out for pizza. We were going to do it for Peri’s birthday but it was too hot. Lovely night for it. #DogsOfBluesky

France 🇫🇷 & Spain 🇪🇸 are leading the way. 🥳🎉

I’ve just ordered 14 bulbs of garlic from kangaroo island. I intend to freeze it but I may have been over ambitious. PS - we don’t like too much garlic! 🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄

A lovely little rose making itself at home. It was given by a friend when she heard about my sister dying. I get to see it every day.
