Operation House Clean...


This evening my friend Helen is coming over for dinner (which I am cooking) and to stay over too. This will involve wine and chatter and a catch up, and a balance of chatter 95% to 5% her way!

Knowing that Helen is coming over, I have had to swing into action with a House-cleaning and spare room Operation, codenamed 'Don't think like a bloke' - plenty of housekeeping and dusting here, and then a review of suitability for an actual, proper girl! Yes BS5, you really should move that balled up pair of socks from July, and the newspaper article you meant to read back in May.

My house is actually pretty tidy most of the time but like that bloke on Masterchef always says at the end of round 1 'Right guys, now you need to step it up a a gear!'

Dinner no problem, dusting and hoovering more of a chore!


Off for a run through the rain now to think about it.

Get a few flowers in a bud vase for the room too. Whole bouquet...too much. Just a couple, shows you thought about it. :)

Did that already! And just like you said, too. Isn't that spooky?

It is one stem with three heads from the rest of the bunch (lilies) in the lounge, and it's in a small vase.

PERFECT!

Pesto, by the way, is a lovely combo of fresh basil, pine nuts, walnuts, garlic, parmesan and olive oil all blended together in a food processor or blender. it smells heavenly while you are making it. You can toss it with pasta or use it as a sauce (sparingly b/c it is strong) on chicken or fish. It freezes very well and this is a great time to do it with stuff straight from the garden.

Sounds delicious! Once you had said Pasta, I recalled I had heard Pesto mentioned on the TV by a chef we have over hear (well, in Ireland) called Rachel Allen.

Must almost be the start of the weekend for you? Enjoy! Mind those Republican loonies!

Hope you have a great evening! Hope she listens to you a little more than 5%!
