curiouswombat: (notes from a small island)
It is possible that one or two of you noticed there was no pic-spam last Sunday; I had taken some pictures but, with Shaka still missing, I didn't really have the heart to post them. So I will put a few of them with this week's instead.

It really is beginning to look like spring, and we have had nice, bright weather all week - although mainly still quite chilly - about 5-6C most days. D-d has come home for half-term, to flop and be cosseted after a lot of exams, and I have a week off work. What a pity, then, that I feel rather grotty with a cold...

Still, hopefully, it will be over quickly and we can enjoy some time together. I don't think D-d has been eating very well over the past month or so, she looked rather peaky. But we had one of her favourites for dinner last night (gammon steak with cheese and pineapple on top), and she has just tucked into a full roast pork dinner - which I was rather proud of, as my crackling was crackly, the roast parsnips just right, and I remembered to throw a cooking apple into the roasting pan for the last 15 minutes or so to make instant apple sauce. I am currently pleasantly replete!

Anyway - the pictures don't include the gammon, or the pork, but there is a bit of bacon - we seem to have eaten a fair proportion of a pig over the past month! Oh and a bell! (A picture of one - not that we also ate one!) And a picture especially for [livejournal.com profile] aleia_kali.

And now I am sitting here quietly; except for a snoring cat and the distant sound of D-d listening to music in her room - if I was upstairs the snoring cat sounds would probably be replaced by snoring S2c sounds as he is in bed, having been at work last night but not tonight. All in the Casa del Speaker to Wombats is as it should be.
