Tired out and Overwhelmed

I am absolutely tired out and yet when I go to bed I am not sleeping well because of my back.  Because I am tired I am also getting overwhelmed with things and I have to go back to brass tacks and slow down.  Its so frustrating.  Will be okay again in a couple of days or so just need to give myself space - and I have so much to do and so little time to do it as usual.  I feel as though I am on a treadmill and am fast running out of time.  Mostly to do with work and not being able to get a chance to chill properly.

I have things to do as usual they consist of:

• Drying some exotic mushrooms and also some tiny button mushrooms.
• Cooking and drying some more pasta.
• Making more Tarragon vinegar.
• Drying some more tomatoes for sun dried tomatoes in olive oil.
• Starting off my own vinegar mother.
• Making butter.
• Making flavoured butter and freezing.
• Freezing more basil in oil.
• More chillies to dry.
• Dry more raspberries.
• Make some Blushing Strawberry wine.
• Five Spice peaches.
• Peach and Chilli Chutney.
• Pickled Cherries.
• Spiced Oranges.
• Dried Kiwi fruit.
• Some Summer Berries in Kirsch.

I have most of the ingredients in so I am hoping that I will get quite a lot of them made.  Will probably start with the quickest ones first.

If not they will get put on the deferred list.

Told you I was either in it up to my neck or things were rattling round my ankles.   Tis just the depth that varies.

Catch you soon.
