There is a certain comfort in the routine of these essential and frugal tasks.
The portable twin tub washing machine has swished away cleaning a week's worth of clothes and the results are dancing on the line rigged up in the annex. In between loads the floor got swept and washed and all the debris of the week tidied away. Takes about an hour working around the washing. No wonder I love this life.

The yoghurt is setting in the EASIYO thermos. The boiling water for the thermos was heated on K's latest find and fix project, a camp stove with a cracked fitting that he has cleaned up and repaired. Now that it has passed its working test this will go to a worthy and loving home.
Cos we don't need it!

A new batch of butter spread is in the fridge and there is a loaf of gluten free bread cooling in front of the fan. The bread proofs really well in the car which is the hottest place I can find. Doubles in about 35 minutes.
I am really impressed with this new bread mix. It is the closest to real bread that I have found. Check it out here.

This week's gluten free sweet treat is bread and butter pudding. K puts the ends of the gluten free bread, mine or the bought stuff, in the freezer and when I have enough it gets made into pudding. This week the eggs are the ones Jo gave me from her chooks and I've chucked in the last of the dates that I didn't use in the batch of sticky date pudding.

So as the day warms up I have retreated to the annex for a morning coffee. Its going to be really hot today so I intend to enjoy what's left of the cool breeze before the Thermal pool is the only nice place to be. Might stay in the water for the rest of the day.
Here comes K. "Enjoying your coffee, dear?"
Cheers Sue

Well done Sue! Such successful productivity, you deserved that coffee.
ReplyDeletePretty proud of myself. I like the security of the less complicated life. I enjoy my haven.
Delete1 hour for the weeks chores.....we can only but look forward to it. Bread and butter pudding looks great and i will have to look up that gluten free bread brand too - thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty small space. Takes longer if I empty everything out of a cupboard or tow and wash window screens and stuff. Every once in a while we empty out and repack. But not this weekend thankyou very much.
